Corey Seager Eyes Return This Season After Appendectomy

Texas lists him day-to-day with no timetable.

Overview

  • The two-time World Series MVP said he hopes to play again this year but remains unsure of his timeline.
  • Doctors told Seager he was within 48 hours of an appendix rupture after pain that worsened following the Aug. 27 game; he had surgery Aug. 28 in Texas.
  • Although eligible to come off the 10-day injured list on Sunday, he said there is no chance he will be activated then.
  • Manager Bruce Bochy described his status as day-to-day with no target date, with Josh Smith currently starting at shortstop.
  • Texas placed Adolis García on the 10-day IL retroactive to Tuesday, recalled outfielder Dustin Harris, and transferred Jon Gray to the 60-day IL as it sits five games back in the AL West and 1½ out of a wild-card spot.
