Rangers get concerning Corey Seager injury news in middle of game image

Corey Seager isn't known as the most durable MLB player.

And the Texas Rangers got news they definitely didn't want during the middle of Tuesday night's game.

Seager had to be pulled from the game with tightness in his right hamstring, according to MLB.com's Kennedi Landry.

Since making his MLB debut in 2015, Seager has had four separate seasons with less than 100 games.

He has a tendency to stick one or two rather healthy seasons together with one interjected injury-filled one.

Seager, now 31, was off to a great start to this season. He's batting .288 with four home runs.

This could just be a precaution, which would make extra sense given Seager's injury history.

But it could also be a concern going forward. Hamstrings don't just get better overnight.

That's one of those nagging injuries that you think you might be past until you realize you aren't.

The Rangers can't afford to lose one of their best players.

Maybe this should've been expected, though. Even in slightly healthier seasons the last two years, Seager played 119 and then 123 games. He almost always misses a chunk of time.

This could be just the latest example.
