ARLINGTON, Texas -- All-Star shortstop Corey Seager was activated from the injured list Wednesday after he missed nine games for the Texas Rangers because of a sprained right thumb.
Texas made the move a before its game against the Chicago White Sox. Seager was back in the lineup playing shortstop and batting second, after an original lineup had Josh Smith listed at short.
The Rangers went 3-6 without Seager, who returned with a two-run homer in his first at-bat back, putting the Rangers up 2-0 in the bottom of the first inning.
