Corey Seager News
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager was held out of the starting lineup for Game 2 of a doubleheader on Wednesday against the A's in Oakland. Josh Smith got the start at shortstop for the nightcap instead and is hitting out of the No. 5 spot for the Rangers. In the Game 1 loss, Seager broke a modest five-game hitting streak by going 0-for-3 with a walk and strikeout. The four-time All-Star and two-time World Series MVP had hernia surgery in the offseason and has gotten off to a slow start in 2024 by his standards, slashing .235/.305/.316 with three home runs, two doubles, 13 RBI and 16 runs scored in 34 games. After a scheduled off day on Thursday, Seager will be back in there on Friday for a series opener in Colorado against the Rockies. Smith has been a great find for fantasy managers in deeper leagues in the early portion of the year, as he's hitting over .300 with two homers and 16 RBI with Josh Jung (wrist) out.
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (shin) is serving as the team's designated hitter and will bat second on Thursday against right-hander Luis Castillo and the visiting Seattle Mariners. Seager was removed as a precaution late in Wednesday's contest against the M's after he was hit by a pitch and suffered a left-shin contusion. The 29-year-old's shin swelled up after the game, but apparently he's feeling good enough on Thursday to serve as the DH against a pitcher that he's hit .300 against in 10 career at-bats. With Seager at DH, Josh Smith is starting at the 6 and batting sixth for Texas. Fantasy managers will want to get Seager back into all starting lineups. He's started off the 2024 season hitting .256 (22-for-86) with a homer, six RBI and 11 runs scored.
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (shin) was hit by a pitch on the left shin in the seventh inning on Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners and was removed as a precaution after staying in to run the bases. Before hitting the showers early, Seager was 0-for-2 at the plate with a walk and the hit-by-pitch. He was replaced in the field by Davis Wendzel. The 29-year-old's injury doesn't appear to be very serious, but fantasy managers should be prepared to be without him for the day game on Thursday in the series finale against the M's. Seager came into Wednesday's contest hitting .262 (22-for-84) with only one home run and six RBI in his first 21 games, but he's hit just .192 in his last seven games, so he could probably use the day off on Thursday anyway. UPDATE: Seager was diagnosed with a left-shin contusion.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager is basking in the glow of a historic 2023 season, steering the team to its first World Series win and etching his name as just the fourth player to secure two World Series MVP awards. At 29, Seager delivered an extraordinary performance, boasting a slash line of .327/.390/.623, accompanied by 33 home runs and 96 RBIs. Notably, he achieved a career-best 169 wRC+, underscoring his offensive prowess. Impressively, Seager has maintained a wRC+ of at least 100 every year of his career, with four seasons surpassing the 130 mark. Beyond the surface-level statistics, Seager's peripheral metrics underscore the legitimacy of his 2023 accomplishments. The former Dodger consistently ranked in the top 10 percentile across various metrics, particularly excelling by placing in the top four for average exit velocity and hard-hit percentage. While his walk and strikeout rates may not be elite, they stand comfortably above average, posing no hindrance to his future success. Sporting an average ADP of 23, Seager emerges as a prime choice just behind the leading shortstops for the anticipated 2024 season.
