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

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Fantasy managers don't need to worry as this appears to be a routine rest day for Seager. He's off to an excellent start, batting .368 with one home run and five RBI in nine games. Josh Smith will cover shortstop versus southpaw Alex Wood on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should expect Seager to be back in the lineup for their next game.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager hit his first home run of 2024 on Wednesday in a 4-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. It was a solo shot off of Rays starter Aaron Civale, which was the only run Civale gave up on the day. Seager is now 8-for-22 (.364) on the season, but Wednesday's homer was his first extra-base hit of the campaign. The four-time All-Star also has three RBI and four runs scored while drawing two walks to four strikeouts. If there were any concerns about his offseason sports-hernia surgery, it seems those can be put to rest. For now, he looks to be on track for another Seager-esque season, which again should be plenty productive in a potent Texas lineup.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager is not in the team's starting lineup on Sunday against the Chicago Cubs. With Seager taking the day off on Easter Sunday, Ezequiel Duran will make the start at the 6 and bat fifth for the Rangers against Cubs left-hander Jordan Wicks. Despite having sports-hernia surgery in January, Seager was ready to roll for Opening Day on Thursday and has gone 5-for-10 with two RBI and a run scored in the first two games of the 2024 season. Fantasy managers will need to remove the two-time World Series MVP out of their starting lineups for Sunday's games, but he should be right back in there on Monday when the Rangers start a series in Tampa versus the Rays. With Seager out on Sunday, outfield prospect Wyatt Langford will hit in the two spot behind Marcus Semien.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hernia) is starting at shortstop and batting second on Opening Day on Thursday versus left-hander Justin Steele and the visiting Chicago Cubs. It was uncertain earlier this spring if the two-time World Series MVP would be ready for Opening Day, but those concerns were mostly put to rest when he started at shortstop and went 0-for-3 in Monday's exhibition game at Globe Life Field against the Boston Red Sox. The 29-year-old missed most of spring training after having sports-hernia surgery in the offseason, but all that matters now is that he's available for fantasy managers in Game 1 of the 2024 season. Seager is a must-start on a daily basis in single-year fantasy leagues, but don't be surprised if he gets off to a slow start given his lack of spring training activity.

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.
