ARLINGTON, Texas -- Rangers shortstop Corey Seager's return from the injured list was delayed Tuesday because he was dealing with a stomach bug, while right-hander Jacob deGrom threw his first bullpen session since going on the IL because of elbow inflammation.
Seager hasn't played since sustaining a left hamstring strain while running the bases in a game April 11. Before getting sick, he was set to return to the Rangers after a three-game rehabilitation stint at Double-A Frisco that ended Sunday.
General manager Chris Young said the team had hoped to activate Seager before Tuesday night's game against Atlanta, but decided to hold off until he was feeling better.
