CLEVELAND — Sometime before the first pitch of the Rangers’ game against the Guardians on Tuesday at Progressive Field, Texas’ front office got good news about Brandon Nimmo’s sprained left AC joint. While he’s going to be day to day for the time being, it seems like Texas’ outfielder avoided a stint on the injured list.
It took three pitches into Monday’s game for that good news to be shoved to the wayside, as star shortstop Corey Seager was removed in the top of the first inning on Tuesday due to back discomfort that popped up pregame.
Seager had been in the Rangers’ lineup, hitting third and playing shortstop, but he was pinch-hit for by Cam Cauley before taking the field. Cauley then filled in at second base, while Nicky Lopez slid over from second to short.
Seager played in three games since returning from the concussion, going 1-for-10 (though his lone hit was a home run). He didn’t play in Texas’ series opener against the Guardians on Monday.
