Corey Seager has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to right hamstring soreness, marking his second stint on the IL this season. Having just returned from a prior hamstring issue, Seager showcased his power by hitting two home runs against the Tigers before succumbing to injury again. Meanwhile, closer Luke Jackson, who sustained a hand injury from a comebacker, is expected to avoid the IL after undergoing tests that showed no fractures. The Rangers also activated Kyle Higashioka, who had been out due to an intercostal strain. Seager's performance this season stands at .300 with six homers and 12 RBIs in 26 games.

Corey Seager's hamstring woes continue to cast a shadow over the Texas Rangers' lineup. The star shortstop sat out against the Boston Red Sox, as the team carefully manages his right hamstring strain, which has plagued him since April. After a stint on the injured list, Seager's recent performances show he’s still working his way back, batting just 5 for 19 in his last four games.

Texas manager Bruce Bochy emphasized the importance of patience in handling Seager's recovery. With a history of similar injuries that have cost him numerous games since 2019, the Rangers are keen to avoid any setbacks. While Seager is a critical piece to their lineup, the Rangers are also optimistic about the impending return of catcher Kyle Higashioka, who has been sidelined since May 1.

The Texas Rangers are facing a tough situation with injuries affecting key players early in the season. Catcher Kyle Higashioka has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a mild left intercostal strain, joining fellow teammates Wyatt Langford and Corey Seager, both of whom are also dealing with injuries. Manager Bruce Bochy is optimistic about Higashioka's return, expecting he’ll be back by May 10 against the Detroit Tigers, as he aims to minimize the impact of injuries on the roster.

With Higashioka's absence, the Rangers have called up Caleb Boushley from Triple-A Round Rock and temporarily signed two-time Gold Glove catcher Tucker Barnhart to fill the gap. The team has struggled with maintaining a full lineup, having only played six games this season with all regular hitters available. The Rangers hope to stabilize their lineup with the return of injured players soon.

The Texas Rangers have placed catcher Kyle Higashioka on the 10-day injured list due to a mild left intercostal strain. The injury was retroactive to when Higashioka missed a game against the Athletics because of sore ribs. In response, the Rangers recalled right-hander Caleb Boushley from Triple-A Round Rock. Tucker Barnhart, who was selected from Round Rock, took over as the starting catcher for the series finale against Oakland. Higashioka, who joined Texas on a two-year deal, has a batting average of .254 with one home run and eight RBIs across 17 games this season. Meanwhile, Boushley has struggled in his previous appearances for Texas, allowing five runs across 7.2 innings this season.

Dane Dunning made headlines by securing the first save of his career during a dominant 15-2 victory over the Athletics, pitching the final three innings. However, just a day later, he was designated for assignment by the Texas Rangers, raising eyebrows about the volatile nature of relief pitching.

In a related update, Kyle Higashioka reported hamstring tightness, leaving the Rangers short on catchers. To mitigate this issue, the organization has brought in veteran Tucker Barnhart from Triple-A Round Rock. Though not a strong hitter, Barnhart's defensive skills will provide a necessary buffer for starter Jonah Heim. This move comes as the Rangers navigate potential salary concerns while trying to remain competitive.
