Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager celebrates in the dugout after scoring a run during the fifth inning of a baseball game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Globe Life Field on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, in Arlington.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
— It appears shortstop Corey Seager is on track to join the Rangers in Houston when they take on the Astros this weekend.
Playing for the second straight day at Double-A Frisco, Seager played shortstop and took three at-bats.
He was hitless for the night, a night after homering and walking.
On the field, Seager may have been the second attraction.
Rangers top prospect Sebastian Walcott homered for the second straight night and the third time since being activated earlier in the month.
Walcott has a 1.129 OPS at Frisco.

Seager is expected to take a day of rest on Thursday, then join the Rangers when they arrive in Houston.
Of Seager’s first game, manager Skip Schumaker offered the report: “He had a really good play in the hole.
He felt nothing running. He felt really good at the plate. He had some misses. He hit a ball.
He kind of did everything we wanted to see happen. Checked off a lot of things.
After he plays [Wednesday], he’ll most likely have a day off Thursday and then we’ll see where he’s at.”
It wasn’t immediately clear when he would rejoin the big league club.
There are also questions about whether Texas might consider trading the 32-year-old shortstop, who is in the fifth season of a $325 million, 10-year contract.
The trade deadline is Monday.
Seager has hit .182 with 10 homers and 25 RBIs in 51 games for the Rangers. He has missed 21 games since going on the injured list again July 1 because of lower back inflammation the same reason he was out 19 games for another IL stint from May 15-June 4.
