— Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager has broken his silence following his recent appendectomy, delivering a bold message that has energized both teammates and fans.
Speaking for the first time since undergoing surgery late last month, Seager expressed confidence about his comeback. “I’m not done this season,” he declared. “My focus is on getting back on the field as soon as possible and helping this team finish strong. I know what I’m capable of, and I plan to be back out there.”
The 31-year-old slugger was placed on the 10-day injured list after his procedure, with no firm timetable for his return. While the Rangers’ medical staff has urged caution, Seager’s determination suggests he is aiming for a late-season push if his recovery continues without setbacks.
Seager has been a central figure in Texas’ offense, hitting .271 with 21 home runs and 50 RBIs in 102 games before being sidelined. His absence has been felt as the Rangers battle to keep pace in the American League playoff race, but his bold statement has offered hope for a timely boost.
Manager Bruce Bochy welcomed Seager’s fighting spirit but emphasized the need for patience. “Corey’s mindset is exactly what you want in a leader,” Bochy said. “But at the same time, we have to make sure he’s fully ready before we put him back on the field.”
With the Rangers pushing toward the final stretch of the 2025 season, Seager’s potential return could be a decisive factor. For now, the All-Star’s words have injected new belief into a clubhouse eager for his presence both at the plate and in the dugout.
