ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Corey Seager took live batting practice Sunday for the first time since the Texas Rangers shortstop was sidelined by a back injury for the second time this season on July 1.

Seager finished the session with a home run and was planning to take live BP again Monday before what would appear to be a minor league rehab assignment.
