Last year&#8217;s World Series MVP, Seager missed 31 games in 2023 due to a hamstring injury, so this is certainly a frightening update. The Rangers are obviously hoping for the best. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/05\/26\/rangers-bruce-bochy-corey-seager\/\" target=\"_self\">Seager has been heating up<\/a> in recent action and Texas unquestionably needs his bat in the lineup.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Seager&#8217;s 2024 Season<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A Corey Seager injury is the last thing the Rangers need right now. Seager entered Wednesday&#8217;s game slashing .269\/.359\/.472\/.831. Additionally, he has 13 home runs and five doubles across 56 games. When healthy, Seager is one of the best players in the entire sport. He is a four-time All-Star who played a pivotal role in leading Texas to the World Series during the &#8217;23 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment, all the Rangers can do is hope that Seager dodged a bullet and this is nothing serious. Anytime a hamstring is involved, especially given Seager&#8217;s injury history, there is cause for concern. Hamstring injuries tend to be quite unpredictable.<\/p>\n<p>The Rangers trailed the Seattle Mariners by 5 1\/2 games in the American League West before Wednesday&#8217;s contest. They entered the game with a 29-32 record. Losing Seager for an extended period of time would make catching the Mariners in the division an immense challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Again, it is currently uncertain how serious the issue is. We will continue to provide updates as the Rangers make them available moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Photo Credit: \u00a9 Andrew Dieb-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Texas Rangers star shortstop Corey Seager left Wednesday&#8217;s game against the Detroit Tigers with an apparent injury.
