Welcome to the latest update in the world of baseball! The Texas Rangers have faced a setback as their All-Star shortstop, Corey Seager, has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to hip discomfort. This unfortunate development raises concerns that Seager’s season with the Rangers might come to an untimely end.
The decision to move Seager to the injured list was taken just before the Rangers faced off against the New York Yankees. Seager had missed the previous game after serving as the designated hitter in the series opener.
General manager Chris Young voiced uncertainty about Seager’s potential return this season, citing the lack of a complete diagnosis. With only 23 games left and the Rangers trailing 8 1/5 games behind for the last AL wild card spot, the team faces a challenging road ahead.
This isn’t the first time Seager has been sidelined due to the hip issue, as he also missed the series opener against Oakland last Friday. Despite these setbacks, Seager has showcased an impressive performance this season, hitting .278 with 30 home runs and 74 RBIs in 123 games.
Following surgery in January to address a sports hernia, Seager initially struggled with his form but has since bounced back strongly. Since May 3, the 30-year-old has hit .296 with 27 homers and 66 RBIs, proving his resilience and value to the team.
