Before Opening Day, Corey Seager of the Rangers makes a stride toward his injury return.
As he works to be back in time for Opening Day in 2024, Rangers star Corey Seager received an important update on his injury on Monday.
After having surgery to treat a sports hernia, Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager is recuperating. There’s still a chance Seager will be ready for Opening Day. According to MLB.com, the Rangers star shortstop made significant progress on Monday toward a possible Opening Day comeback.
According to reports, Seager started having “light swings” on Monday. It’s a positive indicator when an injured player begins to take the bat off their shoulder. It is evident that Seager is on the upswing.
It’s still unclear if Seager will be fit to start the new season, as MLB.com lists his expected comeback as “around Opening Day.”
In addition, Seager has been fielding grounders and playing catch. It seems likely that defensively, he’s virtually ready to go. It can be difficult for someone recovering from a sports hernia to swing a bat. However, there seems to be some hope for Seager’s chances of being prepared.
Rangers hope to make it back in 2024.
Although this Rangers squad has a lot of skill, their spring training injury worries have been well-documented. A couple months into the season, players like Max Scherzer and Jacob deGrom will not be back.
This spring, Nathaniel Lowe and John Jung are also dealing with injuries. According to reports, Jung should be prepared to start the next season, but Lowe’s health is uncertain.
In 2023, the Rangers prevailed in the World Series. In 2024, they ought to be able to have another exciting season. Hopefully, once the ’24 regular season commences, their spring injuries won’t pose a significant issue.
Texas has an abundance of talent to be competitive. Indeed, with the Houston Astros, Seattle Mariners, and maybe even the Los Angeles Angels vying for postseason berths, the American League West is rather deep. But after winning the Fall Classic, the Rangers will ultimately have complete confidence.
