00:00can you fill us in on what you know and and and maybe about with uh with cory's hamstring and
00:20stuff like that what you can tell us about that yeah so we're still trying to get to the bottom
00:25of it um cory's undergoing some testing this afternoon and uh hopefully later today we'll
00:30have the results of those tests it's nothing that we're too concerned about in terms of this
00:34injury being a long-term injury what we are concerned about is just making sure we get this
00:39right um we obviously we we experienced this a couple weeks ago we put him on the il uh he came
00:45back right at the 10-day mark uh played several games and played well um but by you know by the
00:51weekend he was feeling it again and so we can't have this linger we've got to knock this out we've
00:57got to make sure that cory's in a good spot physically and uh and that we're going to avoid
01:00these things moving forward so we're doing some undergoing some testing this week uh this this
01:05afternoon i hope to have the answers later today and at that point we'll make a decision on what's
01:10next for cory whether he needs more extended time or whether this is going to be a few days
01:14um you know with that in mind i think back to 2023 and really a stretch that we had um the first
01:23half of the season where we went in a 60 game stretch we went 40 and 20 and a big portion of that
01:29stretch um was without cory and i think this is a great opportunity for this team to come together
01:36all winning teams lose star players at some point you know you hope those absences aren't too long
01:42but all teams lose good players at some point and they find a way to get the job done and i believe
01:48this team is talented enough to win um without cory in the lineup and so our expectation is that
01:54these guys continue to pull for one another that they continue to play team baseball and they continue
01:58to step up uh when cory is not in the lineup just like we saw on sunday so i have full confidence in the
02:04group we have and i think this is a great opportunity for us as a club to come together if indeed we do have
02:10to play some games here without cory it's chris young here with you on the fan rangers president
02:15of baseball operations is it time to look at considering the uh position or the the day-to-day
02:22at this stage of seager's career like the first base or dh to have him playing short less keep him
02:28healthier angle is there is there any consideration of that well i don't think playing shortstop has
02:34specifically contributed to his injuries i mean i think these are something that is uh you know if i
02:39can't tell you if he was playing left field or third base or first base that these injuries would
02:43be any more um it would be happening less frequently so i think that really what we need to get to the
02:49bottom of is what is the root cause of the injury and at that point we can decide um you know what's
02:54best but in terms of him moving off shortstop that is not a conversation we're having um you know if
02:59we had information that suggested that is the the main cause then we could obviously you know talk
03:05about what the best way to keep cory on the field is but that's not that's not a discussion we're
03:09having and i don't believe that is the cause
03:11you
