Rangers’ Corey Seager Hit by Pitch: Left Shin Contusion, Status for Next Game Unclear

Rangers shortstop Corey Seager was forced to leave the game between the Texas Rangers and the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday night after being hit by a pitch in the seventh inning and suffering a left shin contusion. Despite being hit, Seager remained in the game for the rest of the inning before leaving due to his injury.

Following the game, Rangers manager Bruce Bochy commented that Seager’s left shin had swelled up significantly and quickly. He mentioned that Seager’s status for the following day’s game will depend on how he is feeling in the morning. It remains unclear at this time whether Seager will be able to play in the next game.

This injury comes after Seager missed most of spring training due to sports hernia surgery he underwent on January 30. The 2023 World Series MVP will be closely monitored by the Rangers’ medical staff to determine the extent of his injury and when he will be able to return to the field.
