Corey Seager Placed on Injured List Due to Right Hamstring Strain, Expected Return in Late May

Corey Seager's absence could impact the Texas Rangers' upcoming games against the New York Yankees. Josh Smith is likely to step in at shortstop, as he has a batting average of .295 with 4 home runs this season. Ezequiel Duran is another option, though his batting average is lower at .138.

Seager played 26 games this season, hitting .300 with 6 home runs and 12 RBIs. In his last 10 games, he had a .377 average and 3 home runs. This injury follows earlier issues with his right hamstring, which have kept him out of games in April and May.
