Rangers: Corey Seager nears return, Jacob deGrom out a few weeks

All-Star reinforcements are nearing their return to the Texas Rangers.

Manager Bruce Bochy said three-time All-Star shortstop Corey Seager is due back next week but could require a rehab assignment. Seager fielded ground balls before Wednesday's game.

It could be another few weeks for right-hander Jacob deGrom, who left his April 28 start with forearm tightness.

General manager Chris Young said the ace had an MRI that revealed inflammation in his right elbow. Treatment was prescribed before deGrom is allowed to resume baseball activity, which could be days or weeks.
