Texas Rangers see Sebastian Walcott and Corey Seager return from injury

Prospect outfielder Sebastian Walcott made his return to Double‑A Frisco after undergoing internal‑brace surgery on a UCL injury suffered in spring training. The 20‑year‑old Bahamas native, the Rangers’ No. 1 prospect, has added muscle and posted a .385/.442/.667 slash line with two home runs, six RBI and three stolen bases in ten games. Rangers officials are evaluating whether to keep him as a designated hitter or promote him later in the season.

Two weeks later shortstop Corey Seager appeared in a rehab game for the same Frisco club. Seager, a two‑time World Series MVP, hit a solo home run and made a strong defensive play after missing a month with lower‑back inflammation. He has been on the injured list for 52 games this season and remains under a $325 million contract, with trade rumors circulating as the July 31 deadline approaches.
