Corey Seager Heads To The Bench In Philly
                
        
        Texas Rangers shortstop Corey  Seager will get a day to rest on Thursday in the series finale against the Philadelphia Phillies. In his absence, Josh  Smith will handle shortstop duties and will bat third against Phillies right-hander Zack  Wheeler. Ezequiel  Duran is manning the hot corner and batting eighth for the Rangers. Seager appears to just be getting a regular day of rest during a day game after he cleared the fences in three straight games. After a slow start to the year in 2024 after having offseason sports-hernia surgery, Seager is starting to hit a stride at the plate and is currently batting .278 (20-for-72) with six of his eight home runs on the year and 11 RBI in 19 games in the month of May. He's a must-start when he's in the Texas lineup. Smith has been swinging a hot bat this year as well and is in an enviable lineup spot on Thursday, but the matchup against Wheeler will be a challenge.
