Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager hit a solo homer and made a backhanded defensive play in a rehab appearance for Double-A Frisco.

Corey Seager has taken live batting practice for the first time since the Texas Rangers shortstop was sidelined by a back injury for the second time this season on July 1.

ARLINGTON — Corey Seager sat on a bench in the Texas Rangers dugout, and it was clear that Sunday’s live batting practice was different than Friday’s.
