Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager underwent surgery to repair a left sports hernia, and the team is hopeful he will be ready for Opening Day.
Rangers general manager Chris Young spoke with reporters on the matter Tuesday. Jeff Wilson of Rangers Today provided more details.
Jeff Wilson @JeffWilsonTXRInjury didn't improve, so surgery become the option over managing it through the season. GM Chris Young says <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Rangers?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Rangers</a> have minimal concern and are unlikely to look for an infielder the rest of the offseason.
Seager, the reigning World Series MVP, just hit .327 (1.013 OPS) alongside 33 home runs, 96 RBI and an American League-high 42 doubles for the Rangers despite missing 43 games largely due to hamstring and thumb injuries.
