  • Will play after all
    Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Seager will start at shortstop for Saturday's game against the Reds, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Seager left Wednesday's game against the Mariners after taking a pitch off his shin, and he played one game at DH before returning to shortstop in the series opener against the Reds on Friday.

With Seager at shortstop, Josh Smith will shift to third base while Ezequiel Duran will move to the bench. Rotowire.com Today, 11:05 am
