Rangers' Corey Seager sprains thumb on slide; X-rays negative

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager left Friday night's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers after he sprained his right thumb on a headfirst slide on a double in the eighth inning against his former team.

Seager was initially called out on right fielder Mookie Betts' throw from the right-center field gap. The Rangers challenged the play, but Seager was already headed back to the dugout with his right arm hanging low, and the All-Star clearly in discomfort.

Manager Bruce Bochy said X-rays on Seager's thumb were negative.
