  • Injury considered minor
    Manager Bruce Bochy said after Wednesday's game that Seager's (hamstring) removal from Texas' win over Detroit was precautionary, and the team doesn't consider his injury to be anything serious, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

    Advice: Bochy added that Seager will not receive an MRI, and the Rangers will instead wait to see how he feels after Thursday's scheduled off day before deciding whether or not to hold him out for a few games. Should the 30-year-old need to miss any amount of time, Ezequiel Duran would likely be the next man up to start at shortstop. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:19 pm

  • Removed with hamstring injury
    Seager was removed from Wednesday's game against the Tigers due to left hamstring tightness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: After extending his on-base streak to 28 games with an RBI single in the second inning of Wednesday's contest, Seager was grabbing at his hamstring before being replaced on first base by Ezequiel Duran. The Rangers will likely take Seager in for imaging, and more information on his status may come following Wednesday's game. The 30-year-old infielder has slashed .300/.395/.627 with 11 home runs and 21 RBI since May 1. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 6:04 pm

  • Corey Seager leaves game with apparent injury
    Corey Seager was removed from Wednesday night’s battle against the Tigers in the second inning due to an apparent injury.

    Advice: Seager opened the scoring in the ballgame with an RBI single off of Joey Wentz in the second inning, but he pulled up lame at first base and ultimately hobbled off the field with the training staff. It’s unclear exactly what occurred, but he’ll head for further evaluation to determine the severity of the issue. Expect the Rangers to provide an update on his status shortly.

  • Mariners still await results of Andrés Muñoz’ MRI
    The Mariners are still awaiting the results of the MRI exam on the injured back of right-hander Andrés Muñoz.

    Advice: The Mariners have yet to make a roster move prior to Wednesday’s game against the Athletics and Muñoz was with the rest of the M’s relievers in the bullpen during warmups, though he did not throw. If a save situation should arise while Muñoz is sidelined, Ryne Stanek looks like the most likely candidate to fill that role. Rotoworld Wednesday, 4:58 pm
     
  • Might not be ready Friday
    Astros manager Joe Espada indicated Wednesday that Tucker (lower leg) might not be ready to return to the lineup Friday against the Angels, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Tucker missed a second straight start Wednesday with a bruised right shin. While Espada said the outfielder is "making progress," he implied that Alex Bregman (hand) has a better shot to be ready to go Friday following the team's off day Thursday. Tucker was originally injured in Monday's game versus the Cardinals when he fouled a ball off his lower leg. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:52 pm

  • Kyle Tucker (shin) may not be ready by Friday
    Astros’ manager Joe Espada told reporters after Wednesday’s loss to the Cardinals that Kyle Tucker (shin) may not be ready to rejoin the lineup on Friday.

    Advice: The 27-year-old superstar missed his second consecutive game on Wednesday after leaving Monday’s game with a right shin contusion. It doesn’t sound like Tucker is going to require a trip to the injured list, but it is taking him longer to bounce back than originally anticipated. It’s a situation fantasy managers need to monitor heading into the Astros’ weekend series against the Angels in Los Angeles. Rotoworld Wednesday, 1:36 pm

  • Alex Bregman (hand) expected to return on Friday
    Alex Bregman (hand) is expected to return to the Astros’ lineup on Friday.

    Advice: The 30-year-old third baseman was scratched from Wednesday’s lineup due to soreness in his left hand, but the expectation is that after an off-day on Thursday he’ll be ready to return. The same can’t be said for Kyle Tucker who missed his second straight game on Wednesday and still may not be ready to return on Friday. Rotoworld Wednesday, 1:33 pm
     
  • Getting maintenance Wednesday
    Jansen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

    Advice: Jansen started at catcher in each of Toronto's last three games, so he's likely just getting some maintenance Wednesday. Alejandro Kirk will sub in for Jansen behind the dish. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:26 pm
     
  • Blake Snell’s MRI reveals mild groin strain
    An MRI showed only a mild groin strain for Blake Snell, according to Giants manager Bob Melvin.

    Advice: It sounds like this will be a shorter absence than the month-long one he had just returned from. He will miss at least two starts after being placed on the injured list Monday. Rotoworld Wednesday, 11:25 am
