Lands back on injured list
The Rangers placed Seager on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to lower-back inflammation.
Analysis
Seager returned from the 7-day injured list last week after recovering from a concussion, but a back issue that will send him to the IL this time. The shortstop missed a month of action with a back injury earlier this season, but it's unclear at this point how long his upcoming stint on the shelf might last. Ezequiel Duran will likely serve as the Rangers' primary shortstop while Seager is sidelined.

Missing out on start Wednesday
Seager (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.
Analysis
The Rangers will give Seager at least one maintenance day after he experienced back discomfort and was lifted from Tuesday's 4-2 win before his first turn in the batting order came up. Texas will go with Nicky Lopez at shortstop in place of Seager, who is being viewed as day-to-day heading into the team's three-game series with the Tigers, which begins Thursday.

Pulled with back injury
Seager was removed from Tuesday's game against the Guardians with back discomfort, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis
Seager wasn't able to shake off a back issue that popped up before Tuesday's contest, causing him to be removed from the game before taking an at-bat. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but the Rangers could provide more information on his status in the near future. In the meantime, the Rangers will use Cameron Cauley as Seager's replacement in the infield.

Getting maintenance day Monday
Seager is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.
Analysis
Per Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News, Seager is receiving a pre-planned maintenance day after the five-time All-Star returned from the 7-day injured list last Thursday following a two-week absence due to a concussion. Seager has started in three of the Rangers' five games since being activated and has gone 1-for-10 with a solo home run and a 5:5 BB:K, but his days off should be few and far between once he's further removed from the head injury. Nicky Lopez will spell him at shortstop in the series opener in Cleveland.

Off day Friday
Seager is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.
Analysis
According to Kennedi Landry of MLB.com, manager Skip Schumaker said Seager will have regular off days after he was reinstated from the 7-day concussion injured list Thursday. Ezequiel Duran is starting at shortstop and batting sixth for Texas against Cleveland lefty Joey Cantillo.

Reinstated from injured list
The Rangers activated Seager from the 7-day concussion injured list Thursday.
Analysis
Seager was sidelined for two weeks with concussion symptoms following a collision at home plate earlier this month. He skipped a rehab assignment, as the Rangers were satisfied with how Seager looked and felt in on-field workouts. Seager is sporting a disappointing .186/.284/.373 with nine home runs in 47 games this season.
