Summary

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager was placed on the seven-day concussion injured list on June 16 after experiencing lingering symptoms from a collision with Royals catcher Carter Jensen on June 11. Although Seager continued to play after the incident, he reported feeling unwell post-game and did not improve over the weekend in Boston.
