Corey Seager activated from the 10-day IL by the struggling Texas Rangers

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Corey Seager was activated from the injured list Saturday after the Texas Rangers lost eight of the 10 games the five-time All-Star shortstop missed because of a right hamstring strain.

Seager went 1 for 4 with a strikeout and a run scored while serving as Texas’ designated hitter in the Rangers’ 2-1 loss to the Seattle Mariners.

He was hitting .286 with four homers and six RBIs when he got hurt. He had hit .370 with three of those homers over a 12-game span before straining his right hamstring while running to first base against the Athletics on April 22. The two-time World Series MVP missed the minimal time on the IL.

Infielder Jonathan Ornelas was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock to make room on the roster for Seager.

The Rangers scored 29 runs during their 2-8 stretch without Seager, with more than half of those runs coming when they had a season-high 15 against Oakland on Tuesday. They scored only 14 runs in the other nine games, including a 2-0 win. They lost 13-1 on Friday night in their series opener against the AL West-leading Mariners.

Texas entered the game last in the American League with 104 runs scored. The Rangers dropped to 16-18 after dipping under .500 on Friday for the first time since losing to Boston in the season opener.
