Rangers Place Corey Seager on 10-Day IL After Appendectomy

Team officials have not set a return date, leaving a playoff-chasing roster further strained.

Overview

  • Seager underwent an appendectomy Thursday in Mansfield, Texas, a day after exiting a game with abdominal pain.
  • Texas made the move official Friday, recalling utility man Dylan Moore and transferring Evan Carter to the 60-day injured list.
  • Seager left Wednesday’s 20-3 win after the fourth inning shortly after hitting his 21st home run before the appendicitis diagnosis.
  • No timetable has been provided for his recovery, though Chris Young said the club is not ruling out a return this season.
  • Josh Smith is expected to take most shortstop reps with Ezequiel Durán and rookie Michael Helman also in the mix; Durán started at short Friday as the 68-67 Rangers sit 4.5 games out of a wild-card spot.
