WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager was pulled from his club's 8-5 win over the Athletics Tuesday night in the sixth inning due to right hamstring tightness.
Seager grounded out to end the top of the sixth inning and was lifted when the Rangers took the field for the bottom of the frame. He went 1-for-4 with two runs before leaving the contest. The veteran is batting .286 with four home runs and six RBIs through 21 games this season.
Meanwhile, Athletics reliever Jose Leclerc also left the game after seven pitches with right shoulder soreness. Leclerc, a 31-year-old right-hander who signed a $10 million, one-year contract as a free agent in January, struck out Adolis Garcia leading off the seventh inning and had a 3-1 count on Marcus Semien when he summoned catcher Shea Langeliers to the mound.
Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said Leclerc would undergo testing Wednesday.
"I think more of a strain than just soreness," he said. "Obviously, he was in a little bit of pain coming off that mound. That's just, that's unfortunate for us."
Leclerc had Tommy John surgery in 2021. He is 0-1 with a 6.00 ERA in 10 appearances for the A's after going 12-20 with a 3.27 ERA in 347 relief appearances and three starts for the Rangers from 2016-24.
