Corey Seager News
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (forearm) is back in the starting lineup Friday against Reid Detmers and the Los Angeles Angels. Seager missed the previous two games due to a bruised left forearm he got after being hit by a pitch in Tuesday's game. The 28-year-old is having a nice season power-wise, smacking a career-high 32 homers. He has slowed down, however, and is slashing just .202/.257/.362 in September. Still, he should be started with confidence for the remainder of the season.
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (forearm) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Seattle Mariners. Seager will miss his second straight game due to a bruised left forearm that he suffered on Tuesday. The 28-year-old remains day-to-day after X-rays came back negative on his arm. With Seager out again Thursday, rookie Josh H. Smith will start at shortstop and hit ninth in the batting order against Mariners left-hander Marco Gonzales. DFS gamers can probably do a lot better than Smith in the nine-hole on Thursday. The 25-year-old rookie has just 38 hits in his first 190 MLB at-bats this year with two home runs, 16 RBI, 22 runs scored and four stolen bases.
Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (forearm) avoided a fracture on Tuesday night and is day-to-day with a forearm contusion, according to manager Tony Beasley. Seager was hit by a pitch on his inner left arm against the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday, but he has apparently avoided a serious injury. However, it remains to be seen if he'll be back in the starting lineup on Wednesday, so fantasy managers should be prepared to put him on their bench. The 28-year-old shortstop was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in the game before departing. If he's unable to play on Wednesday, the Rangers will likely shift Marcus Semien to the 6 and have either Mark Mathias or Charlie Culberson handle the keystone.

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager had a significant power outbreak in 2020 and his fantasy owners loved everything about it. From 2017 through 2019, Seager never posted a slugging percentage above .483 and never registered a barrel rate above 8.5%. In 2020, Seager went on to slug .585 with a 15.8% barrel rate, which ranked amongst the top 5% of the league. He also had a ridiculous hard-hit rate of 55.9%, which ranked amongst the top 2% of the league and absolutely dwarfed his 2019 hard-hit rate of 38.2%. With 15 home runs and 41 RBI in 52 games last year, Seager was on a ridiculous 162-game pace of about 46 home runs and 127 RBI. He's never hit more than 26 home runs in a season and his career high in RBI is 87. Granted, he's had multiple seasons cut short by injuries, but last year remains a striking anomaly regardless. Seager is a career .295 hitter and he should be right around that mark in 2021. Expect him to hit around 25 home runs in 2021 if he can stay healthy but it's extremely risky to chase the power numbers he flashed in the shortened 2020 season. Don't reach for him in the second round, but if he's there in the late third and you haven't taken a shortstop yet, he's a solid target.
