Corey Seager Fantasy Stats

After recently returning from a stay on the seven-day concussion injured list last week, Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday due to a back injury that kept him out of Tuesday's starting lineup against the Cleveland Guardians, according to Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. In a corresponding move, utility man Josh Smith has returned to the big-league roster. Nicky Lopez is making another start at the 6 for Texas on Wednesday and is hitting ninth in the batting order against Guardians left-hander Joey Cantillo. In what has been a lost season for Seager to this point, it's especially concerning for the Rangers and his fantasy managers that Seager already missed a month with a back injury earlier in the first half. Seager will now be out through the All-Star break and probably won't be ready to return until sometime in August. In the meantime, expect Ezequiel Duran to see most of the work at shortstop in Texas. Seager has hit just .182/.292/.374 with 10 homers, 25 RBI, 28 runs scored, and a career-worst 26.9% strikeout rate in his 219 plate appearances in 2026.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (back) exited Tuesday's game early against the Cleveland Guardians with back discomfort, according to Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. Seager was unable to get loose and was removed from the contest before even taking an at-bat. Cameron Cauley will take over at the 6 in Cleveland. The severity of Seager's back injury is unknown right now, but for an aging player who has already been on the injured list multiple times in 2026, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Texas shut the 32-year-old down going into July. In addition to injuries limiting Seager to 50 games in his 12th year in the big leagues, he has hit a disappointing .182/.292/.374 with a career-worst .667 OPS, 10 home runs, 25 RBI, 28 runs scored, and a stolen base in 219 plate appearances. Although he has walked 12.8% of the time, Seager is also sporting a career-worst 26.9% strikeout rate. Check back for an update on Seager's status, which should come no later than Wednesday morning.

The Texas Rangers announced on Thursday that they activated shortstop Corey Seager (concussion) from the seven-day concussion injured list and placed infielder/outfielder Cody Freeman (back) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to June 22) with a herniated disc in his back in a corresponding move. Seager should be right back in Texas' starting lineup for their contest in Toronto on Thursday against the Blue Jays and right-hander Kevin Gausman. The veteran left-handed-hitting shortstop will return to the big-league roster after missing two weeks with a mild concussion that he suffered in a collision at home plate in early June. Fantasy managers haven't been too happy with Seager in 2026 between his injuries and poor play. He is returning to a rough .186/.284/.373 slash line with nine home runs in his 47 games played in his 12th year in the majors. The five-time All-Star and two-time World Series MVP has time to bounce back in the second half of 2026, though, as long as he can stay healthy, which is something he has struggled with in his career.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (concussion) remains on the seven-day concussion injured list and isn't expected to be activated on Wednesday, according to Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. Grant thinks it's more likely that Seager is reinstated on Thursday to play in the series opener in Toronto against the Blue Jays. Seager landed on the IL with mild concussion symptoms after colliding with Kansas City Royals catcher Carter Jensen on June 11, but he took part in a pre-game workout on Tuesday and appears ready to return this week. With Seager set to return, Ezequiel Duran will most likely move to second base and continue to play regularly for the Rangers. It's been an injury-plagued 2026 season for the 32-year-old Seager, who is also hitting a very disappointing .186/.284/.373 with a .657 OPS, nine home runs, 24 RBI, 25 runs scored, and one stolen base in his 177 at-bats. The five-time All-Star is still rostered in nearly 90% of Yahoo leagues for his power/speed track record, but durability concerns are becoming a bigger issue.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (concussion) is still day-to-day after being placed on the seven-day concussion injured list last week, but he was out on the field with the team during warmups and defensive drills before Sunday's series finale against the San Diego Padres at Globe Life Field, according to Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. Seager will travel with the team this week, but it's to be determined when he might return to play. It's been an injury-plagued 2026 season for the 32-year-old veteran, as he also spent time in the first half of the season with a back injury. In addition to more injuries for the five-time All-Star and two-time World Series MVP, Seager has hit a very disappointing .186/.284/.373 with a .657 OPS, nine home runs, 24 RBI, 25 runs scored, and a stolen base in his 177 at-bats this year. Seager's track record makes him worth holding in most fantasy baseball leagues, but there is concern that he could continue to struggle at the plate and with injuries into the second half. Right now, he's rostered in 88% of Yahoo leagues. Ezequiel Duran will continue to hold down the fort at the 6 in Texas until Seager is cleared to return from the IL. UPDATE: Seager is scheduled to take live batting practice on Tuesday, according to The Dallas Morning News' Evan Grant.

The Texas Rangers placed shortstop Corey Seager (concussion) on the seven-day concussion injured list on Monday and reinstated super-utility man Josh Smith (abdomen) from the IL in a corresponding move, according to Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. With Seager out for Monday's series opener against the visiting Minnesota Twins and Ezequiel Duran getting a day off, Nicky Lopez will make the start at the 6 and bat eighth for the Rangers against right-hander Mike Paredes. Seager collided with Kansas City Royals catcher Carter Jensen at the plate last Thursday night and could not recover in time to begin Week 13 of the 2026 season. The Rangers described Seager's concussion symptoms as mild, so hopefully he'll be ready to come off the IL when he's eligible. Duran will most likely see most of the playing time at shortstop in Texas until Seager is back. Seager, a five-time All-Star and two-time World Series MVP, has struggled to stay healthy as he ages, and although he does have nine homers in 177 at-bats in 2026, he's also sporting a .186 average, .284 on-base percentage, and a career-high 26.5% strikeout rate. Despite the disappointing season to this point, Seager is still rostered in 90% of Yahoo leagues.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (concussion) remains sidelined for Monday's series opener at Globe Life Field against the visiting Minnesota Twins, per MLB.com. Nicky Lopez will get a start at shortstop for the Rangers and will bat eighth against Twins right-hander Mike Paredes. Seager collided with Kansas City Royals catcher Carter Jensen at home plate on Thursday and hasn't played since. He remains day-to-day, but if Seager cannot rejoin Texas' starting lineup in the next couple of days, he could land on the seven-day concussion injured list. The good news is that Seager did some hitting, throwing, and weightlifting on Sunday. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Tuesday to see if he's back in there for Game 2 of the series against Minnesota. The 32-year-old former 18th overall pick by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2012 has nine home runs in 177 at-bats this year, but otherwise it's been rough, as he's currently sporting a .186/.284/.373 slash line with 24 RBI, 25 runs scored, one stolen base, and a career-high 26.5% strikeout rate in 47 games played in his 12th year in the majors.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (head) has "mild" concussion symptoms, which is why he was held out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday night, according to Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. Seager missed a third straight game on Sunday after he collided with Kansas City Royals catcher Carter Jensen on Thursday. The oft-injured 32-year-old could eventually land on the seven-day concussion list if he cannot return to the Rangers' lineup sooner rather than later, but for now, he's being considered day-to-day. With Seager out again on Sunday, super-utility man Ezequiel Duran got the start at the 6 and hit cleanup for Texas. Seager, a five-time All-Star, three-time Silver Slugger winner, and two-time World Series MVP, has already missed time in 2026 with a back injury, and he's hitting a disappointing .186 (33-for-177) with nine home runs, 24 RBI, 25 runs scored, and a stolen base across his 47 games and 204 plate appearances in his 12th year in the big leagues. Initially, the Rangers said Seager was dealing with rib and jaw injuries, but with a concussion being added on Sunday, it's certainly more worrisome that he might require another IL stint.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (ribs, face) was absent from the starting lineup during Friday's loss to the Boston Red Sox. Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Seager is day-to-day with rib and jaw injuries that he suffered during Thursday's game. Seager appears to have picked up a pair of injuries during a home plate collision with Carter Jensen on Thursday. Ezequiel Duran started at shortstop on Friday and could see more action over there this weekend. This doesn't sound like something that will require a stint on the Injured List. Fantasy managers should check back on Saturday for another update on Seager.

The Texas Rangers activated shortstop Corey Seager (back) from the 10-day injured list on Friday before their series opener at home at Globe Life Field against the Cleveland Guardians and left-hander Parker Messick, according to MLB.com. Seager is back with the Rangers after going 1-for-5 on a short minor-league rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco. The 32-year-old has been sidelined since the middle of May due to inflammation in his lower back, but he'll return to starting shortstop duties and will hopefully give Texas an offensive boost on the infield. The five-time All-Star was hitting just .179 (28-for-156) before his back injury landed him on the IL and had gone hitless in his last 25 at-bats, but he did have seven home runs and has had at least 21 home runs in each of the last four seasons since coming to the Rangers in 2022. Seager could be a bit rusty upon his MLB return and could be eased back in by the Rangers this weekend, but he should still be rostered in all fantasy baseball leagues despite his slow start in 2026.
