Corey Seager, Marcus Semien Shut Down for Rest of the Season
Corey Seager (abdomen) and second baseman Marcus Semien (foot) have officially been shut down for the remainder of the season, according to manager Bruce Bochy. MLB.com's Kennedi Landry explains that it was a long shot for either Seager or Semien to return this year, but they were both still rehabbing for a potential return if the postseason was within reach. Going into play on Tuesday with less than a week left in the regular season, the Rangers are five games back of both the Cleveland Guardians and Houston Astros for the final wild-card spot in the American League, so the playoffs aren't in the cards this year for Texas. Injuries prevented Seager from having his fourth straight 30-homer season, but he still finishes with a strong .271/.373/.487 slash line, .860 OPS, 21 home runs, and 50 RBI in 102 games played. Semien finished under 150 games played for the first time in a full season since 2017, and he hit a disappointing .230 (108-for-470) with 15 home runs, 62 RBI, and 11 steals.
