ARLINGTON \u2014 Rangers shortstop Corey Seager<\/a> might have just one last hurdle to clear before he returns from the concussion injured list.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Seager underwent a “high-intensity ramp-up” before Saturday’s game vs. the San Diego Padres at Globe Life Field, according to Rangers manager Skip Schumaker. The 32-year-old had what Schumaker described as his “best day” of work prior to Friday’s series opener, but will now be monitored to see how he feels during and after a more aggressive session.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I don’t want to say it’s the final step,” Schumaker said, “but that is where it’s trending, kind of the final step, so hopefully we get more good news after today’s workout.”<\/p>\n

Seager has missed eight consecutive games after a home plate collision a week-and-a-half ago left him with a mild concussion and has\u00a0only played in five games since May 13 because of two separate injuries. He missed three weeks with lower back inflammation<\/a>, returned earlier this month and got only five starts before he collided with Kansas City Royals catcher Carter Jensen in a game on June 11<\/a>. The two ailments forced Seager’s seventh and eighth injured list stints in his four-plus seasons with the Rangers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It feels like it’s progressing maybe faster than what we thought initially,” Schumaker said. “He feels really good, so I would guess that’s going to take some swings in a couple of days and go through his progression, which means it’s way ahead of the timeline. You know me, I don’t really give timelines or deadlines, but he’s in a really good spot right now.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ARLINGTON \u2014 Rangers shortstop Corey Seager might have just one last hurdle to clear before he returns from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":706240,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2393],"tags":[5,3417,4,149,1567,69,3240,87966,83514,88018],"class_list":["post-731128","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas-rangers","tag-baseball","tag-brief","tag-mlb","tag-rangers","tag-texas","tag-texas-rangers","tag-texasrangers","tag-tp-skip-schumaker","tag-tp-texas-rangers","tag-tp-corey-seager"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116784015911307270","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/731128","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=731128"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/731128\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/706240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=731128"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=731128"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=731128"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
