Corey Seager's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hip) will undergo season-ending sports hernia surgery, according to Jeff Wilson of DLLS Sports. Seager hit the injured list last week with hip soreness; however, the injury is now much worse than expected. As a result, the 30-year-old will now be sidelined for the remainder of the 2024 campaign. The two-time World Series MVP enjoyed another excellent campaign as he has posted a .278/.353/.512 slash line with 30 home runs and 21 doubles. Under the hood, he held some of the best metrics among hitters, with an impressive 15.2% barrel rate and a 50.7% hard-hit rate. Seager will once again be drafted as one of the top shortstops next season and will bat at the top of a potent Texas lineup.

The Texas Rangers placed All-Star shortstop Corey Seager (hip) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with hip discomfort. Seager didn't play on Tuesday as a result of his hip injury and also missed three of the team's last seven games. The 30-year-old two-time World Series MVP will be able to come off the IL on Sept. 16, but with the Rangers well out of playoff contention in the final month of the season, it's quite possible we won't see Seager again until 2025. Josh Smith is starting at the 6 on Wednesday for Texas and is batting leadoff against New York Yankees right-hander Marcus Stroman at Globe Life Field, and he should be the primary option in Seager's absence the rest of the way. If this is the end of Seager's 2024 campaign, he'll finish it with his third straight 30-homer season while also slashing .278/.353/.512 with an .864 OPS, 74 RBI and 68 runs scored in 123 games played.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. The left-handed slugger will get his second day off in the last five games. It doesn't appear that Seager is dealing with an injury, so it's uncertain why Seager is getting so many rest days. He has a .968 OPS across in his last 10 games so it's not due to poor performance. Jonathan Ornelas will take over shortstop and bat ninth versus left-hander Carlos Rodon on Tuesday. The 24-year-old only has three hits in his first 11 games. That being said, fantasy managers should be able to find a better streaming option ahead of Tuesday's game.UPDATE: Seager is getting "load management," but manager Bruce Bochy said he is probably not "100%"

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager will sit out of Friday's series opener against the division-rival Oakland Athletics at Globe Life Field. With Seager getting a day off, Ezequiel Duran will make a start at shortstop and will bat eighth against A's left-hander JP Sears. Duran won't have much DFS upside near the bottom of Texas' lineup, but he is hitting .455 with a 1.026 OPS and an RBI in 11 career at-bats against Sears. The 30-year-old Seager will get a day off after starting in each of the team's last 12 games. He reached a pretty big milestone in Thursday's contest against the Chicago White Sox, too, clubbing the 200th home run of his career. The two-time World Series MVP has been great in the month of August, batting .293 (29-for-99) with 11 long balls, five doubles, 24 RBI and 16 runs scored in 24 games played. He's a must-start anytime he's in the lineup.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager continued his August power surge in Monday's 4-3 win over the Pirates. Seager went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a three-run HR, and an intentional walk. The 30-year-old got things started for the Rangers, crushing a first-inning Luis Ortiz offering 449 feet into the right-field seats. He took Ortiz deep again in the third inning, sneaking a ball just over the right-field wall. Seager has provided power all season long but is having his best month yet, slashing .277/.333/.723 with nine HR and 18 RBI in 65 August at-bats. The Rangers offense has performed better as a whole as well, so things seem to be falling into place for fantasy managers down the stretch.
