HOUSTON \u2014 Texas Rangers<\/a> All-Star shortstop Corey Seager was out of the lineup for a second straight game<\/a> Sunday against the Houston Astros<\/a> because of back spasms.<\/p>

Manager Skip Schumaker said Seager was having an MRI on Sunday morning to make sure it\u2019s only back spasms that are causing the problem.<\/p>\n

Schumaker said he had improved Sunday but still wasn\u2019t feeling good enough to play.<\/p>

\u201cHe was in here before I got here,\u201d Schumaker said. \u201cI got here early and he was here before me trying to get in the lineup.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old Seager is in a career-worst 0 for 27 slump. He didn\u2019t play Friday night in a 2-0 loss to the Astros, but Schumaker said it was a scheduled off day and Saturday morning was the first time he had experienced any back issues.<\/p>
