The Texas Rangers are dealing with a major blow to their lineup as superstar shortstop Corey Seager is out for the foreseeable future. Despite this setback, the team is preparing to manage his absence,

Bochy said that Smith, the Rangers’ Silver Slugger-winning super utility man, will be the primary shortstop with Seager sidelined. Ahmed will serve as a utility infielder and, according to Fenstermaker, was picked over other infield options on the 40-man roster because of his “veteran experience.”

The Texas Rangers placed shortstop Corey Seager on the 10-day injured list because of a strained right hamstring.
