The Texas Rangers activated star shortstop Corey Seager from the 10-day injured list Thursday and he's expected to be in the lineup for Friday's home game against the Cleveland Guardians.
Seager was on the IL due to lower-back inflammation. He last appeared in a game on May 13.
The 32-year-old is batting just .179 this season and is hitless in a career-worst 27 consecutive at-bats. He has seven home runs and 20 RBIs in 42 games.
Seager is in his fifth season with Texas and was named World Series MVP in 2023 when the Rangers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks in five games. He was the runner-up for regular-season MVP honors behind Shohei Ohtani, then of the Los Angeles Angels.
Seager also was World Series MVP with the champion Los Angeles Dodgers in 2020. He is a five-time All-Star.
The Rangers also may activate outfielder Wyatt Langford prior to Friday's game.
Langford sustained a forearm flexor strain in April and last played for Texas on April 21. He is batting .238 with one homer and four RBIs in 20 games this season. Last year, he registered 22 home runs, 62 RBIs and 22 steals in 134 games.
Langford, 24, began a rehab assignment at Round Rock on Saturday. He is 2-for-10 with a homer and two RBIs in four minor league games.
Texas also optioned outfielder Alejandro Osuna, 23, and third baseman Cody Freeman, 25, to Triple-A Round Rock.
Osuna batted .253 with nine RBIs in 37 games, while Freeman was 1-for-2 in his lone game on Wednesday.
