Nathan Eovaldi underwent bilateral sports hernia surgery this offseason, adding to the Rangers’ health storyline as they prepare for 2025. The 35-year-old ace delivered a 1.73 ERA over 130 innings this season before a rotator cuff strain ended his run, and Texas says his shoulder has healed with no winter disruption. Eovaldi signed a three-year, $75 million deal last winter, giving the Rangers a high-ceiling anchor as Corey Seager contends with a recent history of sports hernia repairs.

Corey Seager previously underwent two sports hernia repairs last year and missed spring training after an earlier operation, but he arrived in Surprise healthy. The duo represents a high-upside, high-variance core for Texas after a recent World Series run, with the organization eyeing durability and depth to sustain elite performance into 2025.
