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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
