Corey Seager, the Texas Rangers' star shortstop, exited Tuesday’s game against the Athletics due to right hamstring tightness, which he felt while running out a single. He was replaced by Josh Smith, with Leody Taveras taking over Smith’s outfield position. Seager, who has shown a strong batting average of .286 this season, had recently been on a hot streak with a .400 average over the last week.

This setback comes after Seager missed a significant portion of the previous season with a left hamstring injury and underwent surgeries for a sports hernia. The Rangers had been leading 8-2 before his exit, indicating that the team was in a favorable position. Updates regarding his condition are pending, as fans and fantasy managers alike await news on how this injury may affect his availability moving forward.
