The Texas Rangers revealed a positive injury prognosis for a pair of All-Stars, with both shortstop Corey Seager and catcher Jonah Heim on best-case-scenario recovery timetables.
Seager was expected to miss more than two weeks after suffering a right thumb sprain on July 21, but the Rangers said his recovery is now ahead of schedule.
Rangers manager Bruce Bochy told reporters Seager is "a little bit further ahead than we thought he would be," while general manager Chris Young said he hopes the four-time All-Star rejoins the team this week.
"He's doing some modified baseball activities," Young told reporters, according to the Dallas Morning News.
