Texas Rangers star shortstop Corey Seager will miss at least four weeks with a strained hamstring.
Rangers general manager Chris Young told reporters Wednesday that Seager has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 strain of his left hamstring.
The Rangers placed Seager on the 10-day injured list and activated outfielder Leodys Taveras from the IL in a corresponding roster move before Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals.
Josh Smith was started in place of Seager at shortstop and batted second in Texas' starting lineup Wednesday.
