Corey Seager Retreats To The Bench On Thursday
3 months agoTexas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager will get a day off on Thursday in the series opener against the Minnesota Twins at Globe Life Field. Josh Smith will move to shortstop and will hit second for Texas against Twins right-hander Bailey Ober. Seager will retreat to the bench in this one for the first time since July 23. Since July 24, Seager has been hot with the lumber for the Rangers, batting .321 (27-for-84) with eight home runs, three doubles, 15 RBI and 15 runs scored in 20 starts. Fantasy managers will want to get him back in their lineups for Game 2 of the series against the visiting Twins on Friday. Smith, 27, has broken out in 2024 in his third year in the majors to the tune of a .273/.362/.430 slash line with a .792 OPS, 12 homers, 51 RBI and seven steals and makes for a nice DFS sleeper target against Ober.
