Sat Mar 2315:39Corey Seager Gets Into Cactus League Action
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hernia) made his Spring Training debut Saturday. Seager was at shortstop, hitting second to start the game. The 29-year-old had sports hernia surgery in January. Saturday marks his first game action of the spring. Even with the limited action, Seager is not a lock to open the season on the IL. Saturday marks the last game for the Rangers in Arizona but they will play their final Spring Training games on Monday and Tuesday in Texas. 2023's runner-up for the American League MVP award, Seager should be viewed as a top-five or six shortstop for fantasy purposes. Getting into 119 last season, the World Series champion produced a massive .327/.390/.623 slash line with 33 home runs and 96 RBI.

Sat Mar 2312:32Corey Seager Could Play In Exhibition Games Next Week
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hernia), who had sports-hernia surgery in January, has been taking live batting practice since March 18 and could get a few at-bats in the team's exhibition games against the Boston Red Sox next week before Opening Day on March 28. Seager, who was the runner-up for the American League MVP award in 2023, was on the injured list twice last year due to hamstring and thumb injuries. The Rangers are currently deciding if he'll need a minor-league rehab assignment to start the 2024 campaign. Even if the 29-year-old two-time World Series MVP isn't ready for the start of the 2024 regular season, he should be considered by fantasy managers as a top-10 shortstop in a strong Rangers lineup.

Mon Mar 1816:30Corey Seager Takes Batting Practice Monday
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hernia) took live batting practice in camp on Monday for the first time since having sports-hernia surgery on Jan. 30. Manager Bruce Bochy said that Seager could be in the lineup on March 25-26 for the team's exhibition games against the Boston Red Sox at Globe Life Field. While Seager is making good progress in his rehab, he said himself that he's still unsure if he'll be ready to play on Opening Day on March 28. If the 29-year-old reigning World Series MVP is able to play in any Cactus League games in the next week or in the two exhibition games against Boston, there's a good bet that he'll be ready for Opening Day. In one of the best offenses in baseball and a great hitter's park in Texas, Seager is ranked as RotoBaller's No. 7 fantasy shortstop despite coming off offseason surgery.

Fri Mar 1513:52Rangers Optimistic That Corey Seager Will Be Ready For Opening Day
Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said he is more optimistic now about shortstop Corey Seager's (hernia) availability for Opening Day at the end of March. Seager had offseason hernia surgery but is coming along nicely this spring and should be ready to go for fantasy managers to kick off the 2024 regular season. The 29-year-old reigning World Series MVP has resumed swinging a bat and has also been taking ground balls and playing catch in camp. Despite missing some time last year due to hamstring and thumb injuries, he still finished with a .327/.390/.623 slash line, a 1.013 OPS, a career-high-tying 33 home runs, 96 RBI and 88 runs scored in 119 regular-season games to earn his fourth All-Star selection. Seager is ranked as the No. 33 overall fantasy player for the 2024 season.

Mon Mar 1123:05Corey Seager Takes Light Swings On Monday
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (groin) took some light swings on Monday. He underwent sports hernia surgery in January, and his status for Opening Day is in doubt. Rangers manager Bruce Bochy says he'll know more about his Opening Day status next week. The 29-year-old had an impressive 2023 season, slashing .327/.390/.623 with 33 home runs, 96 RBI, 88 runs, and two stolen bases over 536 plate appearances. He could have easily surpassed 100 runs and 100 RBI had he not missed time due to thumb and hamstring injuries. Seager has an NFBC ADP of 25, and it appears he will likely avoid the injured list, making him a top-five shortstop and a solid pick at his current ADP.

Tue Mar 518:24Corey Seager Could Play In Cactus League Games
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hernia), who had sports-hernia surgery in January, could get some Cactus League at-bats before the end of spring training. "I'm hopeful," manager Bruce Bochy said. "To be honest, I don't know for sure. He caught the flu -- that probably slowed things down just a hair. But we'll see where we're at by the end of this week." Despite going on the injured list twice in 2023, Seager was the runner-up for the American League MVP award after finishing with a .327/.390/.623 slash line, a career-high 1.013 OPS, 33 home runs, 96 RBI and 88 runs scored in 119 games. The four-time All-Star and World Series MVP might open the year on the injured list, but he should still be considered a top-five fantasy shortstop.

Mon Feb 1913:33Corey Seager Hopes To Be Ready For Opening Day
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hernia) is doing some incline walking and riding a stationary bike and is hoping to be ready for Opening Day. Seager still isn't sure if he'll be ready for the first game of the 2024 regular season, but it's a good sign that he's doing some physical activities after undergoing sports-hernia surgery this offseason at the end of January. It's an injury that the 29-year-old World Series MVP suffered in the postseason. If he's not ready for Opening Day, Ezequiel Duran and Josh Smith would be two candidates to start at the 6 for Texas. Even if Seager isn't ready early on, the 2023 American League MVP runner-up should be considered a top-five fantasy shortstop after a fantastic season for the Rangers last year.

Tue Jan 3018:49Corey Seager Undergoes Sports-Hernia Surgery
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hernia) underwent surgery on Tuesday for a sports hernia. The Rangers are hopeful he'll be ready for Opening Day. Seager's injury first occurred in the playoffs and the initial thought was rest was the best remedy, but the injury didn't improve, making surgery the best option over managing during the season. General manager Chris Young said the team has minimal concern and are unlikely to look for an infielder the rest of the offseason. It's something to keep an eye on during spring training, but it shouldn't really affect the 29-year-old World Series MVP's fantasy stock this spring. Seager had a career-best .327 average in 2023 in his second year with the Rangers while also hitting 33 home runs and driving in 96 despite missing time with hamstring and thumb injuries. Despite his hernia surgery, Seager is an elite fantasy shortstop.

Fri Nov 10 202309:55Corey Seager Wins Third Silver Slugger Award
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager added to his impressive hardware for the 2023 season after winning a World Series title and World Series MVP for the second time in his career, as he was named the American League's Silver Slugger award winner on Thursday. He did it by recording 33 home runs, 96 RBI, 88 runs scored and an AL-high 42 doubles in the regular season to win his third Silver Slugger of his career. Seager did it despite missing nearly six weeks due to injuries. He finished second in the AL in batting average (.327), slugging percentage (.623) and OPS (1.013). The rest of the AL winners were Rays first baseman Yandy Diaz, Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien, Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers, White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr., Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez, Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker, Orioles catcher ...

Thu Nov 2 202314:30Corey Seager Wins Second World Series MVP Award
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager helped the Rangers win their first-ever World Series title on Wednesday night by beating the Arizona Diamondbacks, and he also was named World Series MVP for the second time in his career, becoming just the fourth player in MLB history to do so. Seager and Reggie Jackson are the only two players to have ever won two World Series MVP awards with two different teams, with Seager's first coming in 2020 with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He also won the NLCS MVP that year. The 29-year-old lefty slugger went deep in three of the five games of the Fall Classic and went 6-for-21 (.286) with three home runs, a double, three walks, six RBI and six runs scored in total in the series. Seager now has two World Series titles, two World Series MVPs, the 2020 NLCS MVP, the 2016 NL Rookie of the Year award, two Silver Sluggers and four All-Star appearances.

Mon Oct 9 202303:21Corey Seager Walks To History Sunday
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager had a history-making performance on Sunday, going 0-for-1 with five walks and two runs scored in an 11-8 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. Seager became the first player to ever walk five times in one playoff game, and in doing so he led the Rangers to a 2-0 series lead. The O's just didn't want to mess with Seager in this one, which is fair given his second-place finishes in AVG, OPS, and SLG in the AL this season. Unfortunately for them, the rest of the Rangers lineup is also pretty ferocious and took advantage.

Thu Oct 5 202312:48Corey Seager Has Been Clutch In Postseason
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager has plenty of playoff experience and always seems to come up clutch at the plate. He went 4-for-8 with three doubles and two RBI in the two-game sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays in the wild-card series. In 2020 with the Los Angeles Dodgers when they won the World Series, Seager won both the NLCS MVP and the World Series MVP. He hit five home runs and had 11 RBI in the seven-game NLCS and then hit .400 (8-for-20) with two more homers and five RBI in the World Series. Despite missing more than 40 games in 2023 with hamstring, thumb and forearm injuries, Seager hit .327 with 33 home runs and 96 RBI in his second year with the Rangers. He and Texas' offense will be a force to be reckoned with as they take on the Baltimore Orioles in the American League Division Series.

Wed Sep 27 202318:54Corey Seager To Play On Wednesday
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (forearm) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. This is great news after Seager was hit by a pitch in the forearm on Tuesday. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative, so it appears Seager has avoided serious injury. The 29-year-old will bat second and cover shortstop versus right-hander Griffin Canning on Wednesday. Fantasy managers can get Seager back in their lineups here.

Wed Sep 27 202300:48Corey Seager Says He's Fine After Suffering Forearm Bruise
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (forearm) said he feels fine after suffering a right forearm bruise in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Angels, per Dallas Morning News' Evan Grant. Seager was hit by a pitch and exited the game early, but X-rays showed no fracture. Seager should be considered day-to-day at this time. This is great news for the Rangers and fantasy managers, as it sounds like Seager could return to the lineup as early as Wednesday.

Wed Sep 27 202300:07Corey Seager Exits Early With Right Forearm Contusion
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (forearm) exited Tuesday's game against the Angels in the bottom of the sixth inning after being hit by a pitch in the top of the fifth. He had gone 1-for-2 with a single. While it was somewhat encouraging to see him stay in the game initially, fantasy managers will need to keep an eye out for further news after the game. This comes at a very poor time for the Rangers and fantasy managers, as Seager has been an offensive juggernaut, slashing .332/.394/.640 with 33 home runs and 96 RBI.

Wed Aug 16 202309:14Corey Seager Launches Pair Of Long Balls Tuesday
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager had a big night at the plate on Tuesday night, slugging two home runs as part of a three-hit effort while driving in five runs in his club's 7-3 triumph over the Angels. The impressive night at the dish added to what has been a monster season for the 29-year-old in his second campaign with the Rangers. Despite making a pair of trips to the injured list, Seager is now hitting .350 with 22 home runs and a 1.076 OPS across 77 appearances on the season. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect a significant drop in production, either, as Seager's .441 xwOBA sits in the league's 99th percentile and is only a mere five points below his current .446 wOBA.

Wed Aug 9 202314:12Corey Seager Getting Some Rest Wednesday
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager is getting a day off on Wednesday as his club takes on the Oakland A's and right-hander Austin Pruitt. It's certainly a well-earned day off for the former Dodger who went 3-for-5 with a homer and an RBI double to help steer the Rangers to a 6-1 win over the A's on Tuesday. Despite making a pair of trips to the injured list this season, Seager is in the midst of a career year that has seen him hit .353 with 19 homers and a 1.069 OPS across 72 games played. While those video-game numbers could appear unsustainable, Seager's .437 xwOBA is only slightly below his .445 wOBA, so don't expect much, if any, regression moving forward.

Sun Aug 6 202313:18Corey Seager Taking A Seat On Sunday
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Miami Marlins. This is just a day of rest for the veteran shortstop, who's been on fire since being activated from the injured list earlier this week. He's rocking a .313/.353/.875 with three home runs and six RBI across 16 bats over the last four contests. Josh H. Smith is starting at shortstop and batting eighth against Sandy Alcantara and the Fish. Seager should be ready to go on Monday for the start of a three-game set against the Oakland Athletics.

Wed Aug 2 202323:29Corey Seager Records Two Hits In Return
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager made his return to the field during Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The left-handed slugger was previously on the 10-day injured list due to a thumb issue. Seager returned with a bang during Wednesday's game. He blasted a two-run home run off right-hander Dylan Cease during his first plate appearance. Seager followed that up by collecting another RBI with a base hit in the second inning. He was later replaced by Josh H. Smith once the game got out of hand. It doesn't appear that Seager has lost a step and he should be rostered in all formats right now.

Wed Aug 2 202317:38Corey Seager Returning From Injured List Wednesday
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (thumb) is coming off the 10-day injured list on Wednesday and will start against the visiting Chicago White Sox and right-hander Dylan Cease. Seager did not go on a minor-league rehab assignment, but nevertheless, fantasy managers will want to get him right back into their starting lineups. The 29-year-old former Dodger is a big reason why the Rangers have one of the most feared lineups in baseball this year. He's returning to a strong .350/.413/.631 slash line with a 1.044 OPS, 15 home runs, 29 doubles, 58 RBI and 47 runs scored in 298 plate appearances and 66 games played. The four-time All-Star is a must-start in fantasy lineups when he's playing for Texas.
