Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager had a solid day at the dish on Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with two RBI. While all three of Seager's hits were singles, it is still nice to see him getting on base. The veteran lefty now has five multi-hit performances in his last seven games, raising his AVG to .288 after a slow start to the season. He's still looking for consistent counting stat production, with only five runs scored, three homers, and five RBI to his name so far. That said, he's appearing to turn it around and has a long track record of being one of the best four-category contributors in fantasy. His managers should stay patient and hold on, as better days should come.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager was seeing the ball well on Wednesday at Wrigley Field in the 6-2 win over the hosting Chicago Cubs, going 2-for-5 with two solo home runs, two runs scored and two strikeouts. Seager homered off starter Shota Imanaga and reliever Nate Pearson for his second and third home runs of the season. It's a good sign for the 30-year-old two-time World Series MVP, as he entered the day hitting just .194 (7-for-36) with three walks and 11 strikeouts in the first 10 games of 2025. Fantasy managers will be hoping that Seager will keep things going at the plate as the Rangers head into a weekend road series in Seattle against the division-rival Mariners, which starts on Friday. As long as Seager stays healthy, he should be a productive fantasy option at shortstop in all leagues after hitting 30-plus homers in each of the last three seasons.

The Texas Rangers continue to manage shortstop Corey Seager's calf injury, and he's out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park. Seager has been playing through the issue, but the Rangers aren't taking any chances early in the season. Dallas Morning News' Evan Grant expects Seager to sit in day games after an evening contest. Josh Smith will get the start at the 6 on Wednesday and will hit sixth against Reds right-hander Hunter Greene. Smith has one hit in just three career at-bats versus Greene. Seager's minor calf injury could be contributing to his slow start at the plate this year, as he's gone just 3-for-17 with a run scored, two walks and four strikeouts in his first five games of 2025. Ezequiel Duran is starting at the hot corner for the Rangers and will hit ninth. After Thursday's off day, Seager should be back for Friday's series opener against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager is not in Sunday's lineup when the Rangers conclude a series against the Boston Red Sox. Seager was in the starting nine for each of the first three games of the series and will take the final game off. In the batter's box, Seager went 3-for-12 at the plate with three strikeouts and one run. As a result, Jonathan Ornelas will start at shortstop and bat eighth. Seager was dealing with a minor calf injury during the final week of camp. Fantasy managers should monitor his status, but should expect him to return to the lineup on Monday when they face the Cincinnati Reds. Despite missing time last season, Seager posted an elite .278/.353/.512 slash line with an elite .390 xwOBA. He should continue to be viewed as a must-start high-end No. 1 shortstop in all formats.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (calf) is serving as the designated hitter and is batting in the two-hole on Opening Day on Thursday versus the visiting Boston Red Sox and left-hander Garrett Crochet at Globe Life Field. Seager was held out of the team's final two exhibition games on Monday and Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals due to a sore calf, so the Rangers will ease him in on Opening Day as the DH. Josh Smith is starting at the 6 and batting ninth. Considering the fact that Seager may not be 100 percent and with him going up against one of the toughest left-handers in the game, DFS gamers will probably want to avoid him on Thursday. As long as the 30-year-old doesn't suffer a setback with his calf on Thursday, he could be back on defense this weekend. Seager has never faced Crochet in his career.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (calf) is out of Tuesday's lineup for an exhibition game against the Kansas City Royals for a second straight day, but general manager Chris Young feels confident that he will be ready to go for Opening Day on Thursday against the Boston Red Sox. Manager Bruce Bochy said on Monday that Seager wasn't dealing with a serious calf injury, so it's clear the Rangers are just being cautious with their starting shortstop with Opening Day just several days away. The 30-year-old former first-rounder hit .250 (10-for-40) with three doubles, three home runs, 11 RBI and nine runs scored in 18 Cactus League games and got plenty of at-bats this spring to be ready to roll for the regular season. Injuries remain a concern for the two-time World Series MVP, but Seager has managed to hit 30-plus homers each of the last three years and should still be considered a top-10 fantasy shortstop.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (calf) is out of the team's exhibition contest on Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals for the second straight day after he was held out on Monday due to a minor calf injury. Manager Bruce Bochy said on Monday that he's not worried, but this does raise some concern about Seager's status for Opening Day on Thursday against the Boston Red Sox. Josh Smith is starting at shortstop and batting seventh against KC on Tuesday. Seager, a 30-year-old former first-rounder, has always had injury concerns, dating back to his days with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He has played over 150 games with the Rangers once in his three seasons with the team, but it hasn't kept him from reaching the 30-homer mark in each of the last three years. The five-time All-Star, three-time Silver Slugger winner and two-time World Series MVP is still a top-10 fantasy shortstop.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (calf) is taking the day off on Monday's exhibition game against the Kansas City Royals due to a sore calf that manager Bruce Bochy called nothing serious. The Rangers have another exhibition contest against the Royals on Tuesday, so if Seager isn't back in there by then, fantasy managers may want to wonder whether the 30-year-old veteran will be ready to go for Opening Day on Thursday versus the Boston Red Sox. It sounds as though Seager's calf injury isn't serious enough to keep him out to start the regular season. The five-time All-Star, three-time Silver Slugger winner and two-time World Series MVP hit .250 (10-for-40) with three homers, three doubles, 11 RBI and nine runs scored in 18 Cactus League games during spring training. There are plenty of injury concerns with Seager, but he still managed to club 30 long balls in 123 games for Texas last year.

According to Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News, Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hip) and outfielder Evan Carter (back) are expected to be fully healthy heading into spring training. Seager underwent sports hernia surgery during the fall and has been able to perform baseball activities in December. Before cutting his season short, Seager held a strong .278/.353/.512 line with 30 home runs and 21 doubles. Carter was shut down last May due to a back injury. McFarland noted that the young outfielder played through this pain during the early part of the season. His injury hindered his performance as he held an underwhelming .188/.272/.361 line through 46 contests. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor their status during spring training, but seeing them progress at this stage of the offseason is a great sign. Both players are key components of the Texas lineup as they hope to return to the postseason in 2025.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hernia) is nearing full baseball activities this offseason. Seager needed surgery for a sports hernia in September but is now close to being cleared for all baseball activities. Barring a setback once he begins ramping up, the 30-year-old two-time World Series MVP should be ready to go without restrictions for the start of spring training in the middle of February. The five-time All-Star and former Rookie of the Year reached the 30-homer mark for the third straight season in Texas in 2024, and although he wasn't quite as good as he was the previous season when he guided the Rangers to their first World Series title in franchise history, he still hit a strong .278/.353/.512 with an .864 OPS, 30 homers, 74 RBI and 68 runs scored in 123 games played. When healthy, Seager is among the high-end fantasy options at short, but he's also an injury risk.

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.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager will get a day off on Thursday in the series opener against the Minnesota Twins at Globe Life Field. Josh Smith will move to shortstop and will hit second for Texas against Twins right-hander Bailey Ober. Seager will retreat to the bench in this one for the first time since July 23. Since July 24, Seager has been hot with the lumber for the Rangers, batting .321 (27-for-84) with eight home runs, three doubles, 15 RBI and 15 runs scored in 20 starts. Fantasy managers will want to get him back in their lineups for Game 2 of the series against the visiting Twins on Friday. Smith, 27, has broken out in 2024 in his third year in the majors to the tune of a .273/.362/.430 slash line with a .792 OPS, 12 homers, 51 RBI and seven steals and makes for a nice DFS sleeper target against Ober.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager was 2-for-4 with a two-run homer on Monday against the Boston Red Sox. Seager connected on his 26th homer of the season and is now hitting .277/.356/.506 for Texas this season with 63 RBI. The 30-year-old is turning in another high-quality season, doing a little bit of everything at the plate. Seager is still one of the top shortstops in fantasy baseball as he continues to show off his sweet lefty swing at the dish. The shortstop position is loaded with young talent in fantasy baseball but Seager is still one of the most consistent producers at the position.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager hit a two-run home run off Framber Valdez with two outs in the ninth inning to end his no-hitter on Tuesday night. He was responsible for the Rangers' only hit and runs of the ballgame, as they lost to the Astros 4-2. Seager has consistently been a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing season for the Rangers. The 30-year-old has been swinging a hot bat recently, slashing .339/.365/.678 with six home runs and nine RBI in his last 15 games. Seager remains one of the premier shortstops in all of fantasy baseball.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager had a huge night in his team's 11-6 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Friday. Seager went 3-for-3 with two homers, three runs, and three RBI but it wasn't quite enough to overcome a hot Red Sox lineup in the contest. The veteran shortstop kicked off the scoring with a solo homer in the first inning and later came back with another solo shot in the third. Seager is now hitting .279 with 21 homers, 54 runs, 53 RBI, and one stolen base across 366 at-bats this season. He has been swinging a hot bat of late, batting .379 over his past seven contests.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager went 4-for-5 with three runs in Wednesday's victory versus the Chicago White Sox. Out of his four hits, Seager hit a double and a solo home run. The strong performance raises his batting average to .269 on the season to go along with 19 homers and 49 RBI over 334 at-bats. As always with the veteran shortstop, health is the only thing that tends to hold him back and he has currently appeared in 89 out of 102 games this season. As one of the best shortstops in the game, managers should continue to deploy Seager on a regular basis.
