12 months agoTexas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager is absent from the team's starting lineup on Monday as they take on the Tigers in Detroit. With Seager on the pine to start, Josh Smith will play shortstop and bat fifth in the lineup against Tigers right-hander Reese Olson. Seager will get the day off on Monday after starting each of the team's last five games. The two-time World Series MVP is hitting .304/.400/.393 to pick up where he left off last postseason, but it's come with only one home run and five RBI in the early going. Fantasy managers will need to remove him from their lineups for Monday's action. Ezequiel Duran is also in the lineup at third base and is batting sixth. Smith has gotten a hit in his only career at-bat against Olson, while Duran is 0-for-1 in his career.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

1 week agoTexas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager is not in Sunday's lineup when the Rangers conclude a series against the Boston Red Sox. Seager was in the starting nine for each of the first three games of the series and will take the final game off. In the batter's box, Seager went 3-for-12 at the plate with three strikeouts and one run. As a result, Jonathan Ornelas will start at shortstop and bat eighth. Seager was dealing with a minor calf injury during the final week of camp. Fantasy managers should monitor his status, but should expect him to return to the lineup on Monday when they face the Cincinnati Reds. Despite missing time last season, Seager posted an elite .278/.353/.512 slash line with an elite .390 xwOBA. He should continue to be viewed as a must-start high-end No. 1 shortstop in all formats.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

2 weeks agoTexas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (calf) is serving as the designated hitter and is batting in the two-hole on Opening Day on Thursday versus the visiting Boston Red Sox and left-hander Garrett Crochet at Globe Life Field. Seager was held out of the team's final two exhibition games on Monday and Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals due to a sore calf, so the Rangers will ease him in on Opening Day as the DH. Josh Smith is starting at the 6 and batting ninth. Considering the fact that Seager may not be 100 percent and with him going up against one of the toughest left-handers in the game, DFS gamers will probably want to avoid him on Thursday. As long as the 30-year-old doesn't suffer a setback with his calf on Thursday, he could be back on defense this weekend. Seager has never faced Crochet in his career.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

2 weeks agoTexas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (calf) is out of Tuesday's lineup for an exhibition game against the Kansas City Royals for a second straight day, but general manager Chris Young feels confident that he will be ready to go for Opening Day on Thursday against the Boston Red Sox. Manager Bruce Bochy said on Monday that Seager wasn't dealing with a serious calf injury, so it's clear the Rangers are just being cautious with their starting shortstop with Opening Day just several days away. The 30-year-old former first-rounder hit .250 (10-for-40) with three doubles, three home runs, 11 RBI and nine runs scored in 18 Cactus League games and got plenty of at-bats this spring to be ready to roll for the regular season. Injuries remain a concern for the two-time World Series MVP, but Seager has managed to hit 30-plus homers each of the last three years and should still be considered a top-10 fantasy shortstop. UPDATE: Seager took live batting practice on Wednesday.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

2 weeks agoTexas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (calf) is out of the team's exhibition contest on Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals for the second straight day after he was held out on Monday due to a minor calf injury. Manager Bruce Bochy said on Monday that he's not worried, but this does raise some concern about Seager's status for Opening Day on Thursday against the Boston Red Sox. Josh Smith is starting at shortstop and batting seventh against KC on Tuesday. Seager, a 30-year-old former first-rounder, has always had injury concerns, dating back to his days with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He has played over 150 games with the Rangers once in his three seasons with the team, but it hasn't kept him from reaching the 30-homer mark in each of the last three years. The five-time All-Star, three-time Silver Slugger winner and two-time World Series MVP is still a top-10 fantasy shortstop.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
