Corey Seager stuck in 0-for-27 slump as the World Series MVP goes 7 games without a hit for Rangers
Seager is 0-for-27 with 11 strikeouts, and manager Skip Schumaker is weighing a scheduled day off to help end the slump.
Two-Time World Series MVP shortstop Corey Seager is hitless in his last seven games for the Texas Rangers, part of a career-long 0-for-27 span that includes 11 strikeouts.
Seager's.179 batting average ranks 167th out of 174 qualified MLB hitters, with 50 strikeouts accounting for 27.5% of his 182 plate appearances this season.
While first-year Rangers manager Skip Schumaker is considering a rest day, Seager said physically he feels "completely fine" and wants to keep playing.
Texas recently sat slumping first baseman Jake Burger for two games; he went 3 for 3 on Tuesday and matched a career high with four RBIs on Wednesday.
Schumaker is eyeing a rest day for Seager, potentially coinciding with the team's off day next Thursday between road series against Colorado and the Los Angeles Angels.
