Seager underwent surgery Tuesday to remove a bone spur from his right elbow, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young noted following the conclusion of the regular season that Seager could require an operation after battling through the elbow issue for months, and that's indeed what's happened. While the Rangers might ease Seager into things at the start of spring training, he should be fine for Opening Day. The 32-year-old shortstop had arguably his worst season in 2026, slashing .227/.312/.424 with 20 home runs in 102 games.

Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young said Monday that Seager could require minor offseason surgery for a bone spur in his elbow "that he's dealt with for a few months," Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
It's not a given that Seager will choose the surgical route, but if he does, the expectation is that he will be fully recovered in time for the start of spring training. Injuries limited Seager to 102 games for the second season in a row, and he regressed at the plate year-over-year, finishing with a .227/.312/.424 batting line with 20 home runs during the 2026 campaign.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Twins.
Seager went deep in his final at-bat of the year to reach the 20-homer plateau for a fifth straight campaign. The shortstop posted an .804 OPS with 10 homers in 51 second-half games after entering the All-Star break with a lowly .666 mark. Overall, he'll wrap up his 12th major-league season slashing a disappointing .227/.312/.424 with 20 long balls, 51 RBI, 57 runs scored and two steals across 436 plate appearances.

Seager delivered a two-out, two-run single to finish off the Rangers' four-run second inning. The shortstop has knocked in five runs over the last two contests and has been heavily involved in the offense this month, as the Ranger vie for a playoff spot. Seager is 16-for-53 (.302) with three doubles, five home runs, 11 RBI and 10 runs scored over 13 September games.

Seager tallied a trio of hits, kicking things off with a two-run blast in the first inning. The veteran shortstop has been on a power surge in September, crushing five homers through 12 contests this month.

Seager has now hit safely in six straight contests, going 8-for-25 (.320) with four long balls in that span. He's slashing .230/.325/.435 through 366 plate appearances this season with 17 homers, 51 runs scored and 40 RBI.
