Corey Seager is in recovery after an appendectomy, with no clear return date yet. He remains hopeful to come back this season, but the Rangers’ playoff position could shape when he reenters the lineup. He studied a wide range of recovery timelines, finding nothing definitive and choosing not to rush the process. His absence would leave a big hole in Texas’ order as they push for a postseason run.

Texas’ update also ties to Adolis García’s setback and hints at Jon Gray’s uncertain future with the club, underscoring a pivotal stretch against Houston. Fantasy managers should track Seager’s progress closely, as his return could swing lineup stability and run production for the Rangers in a critical late-season period.
