Texas Rangers' All-Star shortstop Corey Seager could be headed to the injured list.

Seager has missed the Rangers' last two games with a leg contusion after fouling a ball off his right leg Thursday against the Los Angeles Angels.

On Saturday, manager Chris Woodward said that while Seager's condition hadn't worsened, a stint on the IL was possible.

Chris Woodward said today that they "can't rule out" an IL stint for Corey Seager, due to the right leg contusion (fouled ball off his leg). Says his availability is "hour by hour" but that it hasn't gotten worse.

In his first season with the Rangers, Seager earned his third-career All-Star nod and currently leads all shortstops with 23 home runs. He's slashing .249/.325/.474 with 54 RBI in 95 games.

The 28-year-old left the Los Angeles Dodgers after seven years, signing a massive 10-year, $325M free agent deal with the Rangers last offseason.

Even though the Rangers trail the first-place Houston Astros by 20 games in the AL West, Seager's presence in the Rangers' lineup has impacted the team in the win/loss column.

After finishing 2021 at 60-102, the Rangers are just 15 wins shy of equaling last year's win total, sitting at 45-54.
