Corey Seager reached an important milestone in his recovery Sunday, taking live batting practice for the first time since the Texas Rangers shortstop was sidelined again by a back injury on July 1. It was his second back-related absence of the season.
The session marked a meaningful step because live batting practice is closer to game conditions than routine hitting work. For Seager, it shows progress in his rehab as he works back toward regular baseball activity after being shut down earlier this month.
His status remains a major storyline for Texas, given how important he is at shortstop and in the Rangers lineup. Any sign of advancement matters after the team has already had to navigate more than one back issue involving Seager this season.
There was no immediate indication in the available report about when Seager might return to game action, but Sunday’s work suggests he is moving forward. The Rangers will likely continue to evaluate how his back responds as he builds toward the next stage of his comeback.
