The Rangers optioned Blaine Crim to Triple-A Round Rock to clear space on the active roster. Crim, a promising corner infielder, appeared in limited action during his call-up. He played in just five games. He recorded a walk and scored a run.
Corey Seager’s return is a welcome sight for Texas fans. Before landing on the injured list, the All-Star shortstop was slashing .300/.346/.520 with solid run production in the middle of the lineup. His leadership, glove, and bat are essential components of the Rangers’ postseason ambitions.
Manager Bruce Bochy emphasized Seager’s impact, saying, “Having Corey back brings balance to our lineup. He’s a difference-maker both defensively and at the plate.”

With the AL West standings tightening, getting a healthy Corey Seager back is crucial for the Rangers. Texas is looking to regain momentum after a recent slump and improve its playoff positioning as the season heats up.
