Mandatory Credit: Jay Biggerstaff-Imagn Images Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager is set to undergo an appendectomy, multiple outlets reported Thursday, and is expected to miss multiple weeks, putting the remainder of his regular season in jeopardy.
Seager, 31, hit a home run among his two hits against the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night and has home runs in each of the past two games. The five-time All-Star reportedly had been dealing with abdominal discomfort for multiple days.
The Rangers entered Thursday's play in third place in the American League West, 6 1/2 games behind the first-place Houston Astros. They were also 4 1/2 games out of the final wild-card spot in the AL.
Seager is batting .271 with 21 home runs and 50 RBIs in 102 games this season after dealing with calf soreness in spring training and going on the injured list twice with a hamstring strain during the regular season. His 2024 season ended in early September because of a sports hernia.
In 11 seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers (2015-21) and Rangers, Seager is a career .289 hitter with 221 home runs and 667 RBIs in 1,131 career games.
