Corey Seager has been placed on the 7-day concussion injured list after experiencing symptoms following a collision in a game against the Royals. This marks his second IL stint of the season, as he previously missed 19 games due to lower back inflammation. Seager is hitting a career-low.186, raising questions about his future with the Texas Rangers. General Manager Chris Young initially dismissed trade rumors, but with the team's playoff chances at 41.2%, there is renewed speculation about moving Seager before he gains full no-trade protection after the season. The Rangers are currently 35-37 and 2.0 games behind the Mariners in the AL West.
