ARLINGTON, Texas — As expected, the Rangers placed Corey Seager on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, a day after he strained his left hamstring running out a double.
General manager Chris Young confirmed a Grade 2 strain for Seager and indicated he would likely miss at least four weeks.
The Rangers activated Leody Taveras from the IL to replace Seager on the roster and Josh Smith will be the primary replacement in the field. Ezequiel Duran will also get some time at shortstop. Taveras, who hit a grand slam Tuesday while on his rehab assignment was in the starting lineup in center field Wednesday.
