The Texas Rangers authored a 17-run blowout of the Los Angeles Angeles on Wednesday. On Thursday, though, the Rangers suffered a blow to their power-charged lineup.<\/p>\n

Five-time All-Star shortstop Corey Seager has appendicitis and is undergoing surgery, according to Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young, who told reporters<\/a> Thursday that Seager will be “out a period of time.”<\/p>\n

Young isn’t ruling the 31-year-old out for the season, however.<\/p>\n

After homering against the Angels on Tuesday and Wednesday, Seager is having an appendectomy Thursday. Rangers broadcaster Jared Sandler noted<\/a> that Seager experienced increasing abdominal pain in recent days, ultimately leading to his scheduled procedure that will put him on the IL indefinitely.<\/p>\n

Seager is slashing .271\/.373\/.487 with 21 home runs and 50 RBI this season.<\/p>\n

A two-time World Series champion who previously played for the Los Angeles Dodgers from 2015-2021, Seager has now had a bad break late in the season back-to-back years. Last September, he underwent surgery to repair a sports hernia<\/a> on the right side of his groin. In January of that year, he had a procedure on the left side, addressing the sports hernia he played through during the Rangers’ World Series run in 2023.<\/p>\n

The 2025 season is Seager’s first in Texas without an All-Star appearance. It could be his first without at least 30 home runs, too, now that he’s on the IL with the calendar about to flip to September.<\/p>\n

The Rangers are currently third in the AL West with a 68-67 record. They’re 4 1\/2 games back of an AL wild-card spot. But they’ve been bitten badly by the injury bug this month.<\/p>\n

In addition to Seager, pitchers Nathan Eovaldi, Jon Gray and Cole Winn; outfielders Evan Carter and Sam Haggerty; and infielders Jake Burger and Marcus Semien have landed on the IL since Aug. 15.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Texas Rangers authored a 17-run blowout of the Los Angeles Angeles on Wednesday.
