Seager collects two hits, including HR
Corey Seager went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, a home run, and three RBI in a 13-2 win over the Rays on Sunday. There was plenty of talk about Seager’s early-season struggles, but the 30-year-old is now hitting .271/.352/.473 with 16 home runs and 43 RBI heading into the final week before the All-Star break. With Wyatt Langford surging and both Marcus Semien and Adolis Garcia likely to figure out their current slumps, this Rangers offense could get hot in the second half, and Seager will be right in the middle of it.
Rendon set to return from injured list?
Angels manager Ron Washington told reporters Sunday that Anthony Rendon (hamstring) could return from the injured list Monday. Washington told reporters that the plan for Rendon upon his return is for him to play third base and then be the designated hitter and rotate those two positions until the 34-year-old is ready to remain in the field. The oft-injured Rendon has hit .267/.325/.307 thus far in 202 while being limited to just 83 plate appearances due to injury.
