All-Star shortstop Corey Seager and designated hitter/left fielder Wyatt Langford will not be playing in the series opener against the Detroit Tigers. Travis Jankowski, Josh Smith, and Ezequiel Duran will be starting in their places.
Texas Rangers' Corey Seager reacts after flying out during the fifth inning of a baseball game against the Houston Astros Sunday, April 14, 2024, in Houston. All-Star shortstop Corey Seager won’t play in Monday’s series opener vs. the Detroit Tigers with what manager Bruce Bochy classified as a scheduled off day. Neither will designated hitter/left fielder Wyatt Langford , who’s played in 15 of the Rangers’ first 16 games.
Seager’s planned days of rest are as important to this current stretch of games as they are to maintaining his long-term availability as the year progresses. He missed 43 regular season games last year with a hamstring strain and a thumb sprain, played admirably through his injury last postseason and started just three exhibition games this spring before opening day.“It’s the fact that he missed spring training,” Bochy said.
