I was excited for the city, you know, not having the parade in 2020 (because of COVID). That city deserved that. So it was really to see it. It was awesome to kind of live through them. So it was a cool moment for them.</p><p>“(Walker Buehler) deserved that moment [striking out Alex Verdugo to close the World Series]. You know, that guy’s been through a lot. To come back and compete, that’s the guy you want on the mound. When we were playing together, that was the guy we always wanted on the mound.</p><p>“He’s a special person and the right guy for that spot. … He is absolutely made for October. If there’s a game you need to win, that’s the guy you want on the mound.”</p><p>The Dodgers drafted Seager with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2012 MLB draft. He made his major-league debut in 2015 at age 21 and became a full-time player in 2016, winning NL Rookie of the Year.</p><p>The Dodgers selected Buehler with the 24th overall pick in the 2015 MLB draft. After signing, he required Tommy John surgery. He debuted in the majors in 2017 and joined the rotation in 2018. He missed all of the 2023 season after requiring another Tommy John surgery and having his flexor tendon repaired in August 2022.</p><p>Buehler finally had his first start back from injury in May 2024, although it was short-lived, and he had to return to the injured list. He finished 2024 1-6 over 16 starts with a 5.38 ERA and 1.292 WHIP.</p><p>Buehler is currently a free agent and is in talks with the Dodgers about a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-dodgers-walker-buehler-in-talks-about-new-deal">potential return</a>, per New York Post’s Jon Heyman.</p><h2><b>Dodgers’ busy offseason just getting started</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Dodgers-Walker-Buehler-speaking-to-fans-at-World-Series-celebration.jpg"><figcaption>© Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Who are the Dodgers pursuing in free agency? The better question may be who they aren’t pursuing.</p><p>Los Angeles will be <a href="https://x.com/Alden_Gonzalez/status/1858680082187120860" rel="noopener">sitting down</a> with Juan Soto, per Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.</p><p>“Sources: The Dodgers are meeting with Juan Soto tomorrow, as @Feinsand first reported. Yes, it’d be absurd of them to follow a billion-dollar offseason with a $600M contract. But Shohei Ohtani’s first year in LA blew away all their financial projections. And they need an OF.”</p><p>The Dodgers are also rumored to be <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-orioles-dodgers-stand-above-the-others-in-corbin-burnes-pursuit">connected to Corbin Burnes</a> and Max Fried and possibly trading for Nolan Arenado and Sonny Gray.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The infielder says he’s not happy that his 2024 campaign came to an end so early, after suffering a hernia. He had a medical procedure to correct the issue.</p><p>“<a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/corey-seager-gives-update-after-hernia-surgery" rel="noopener">I feel good</a>, it’s good to be on the other end of [the surgery],” Seager said on Friday, per MLB.com. “Just to be able to have a healthy offseason is nice. I’m frustrated, obviously, that my season had to end early, but in general, it was probably the right thing to do, and just to be able to look forward to next year.”</p><p>The season officially ended for the shortstop on September 12. Seager finished the 2024 campaign with a .278 batting average, to go with 30 home runs and 74 RBIs.</p><p>“Personally, [my goal for the offseason] is just to get healthy,” Seager added. “I didn’t really have an offseason last year obviously, so to be able to just kind of get healthy and get your body back where you want to is something I’m really looking forward to.”</p><h2>The Rangers have had a disappointing season</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Rangers-Corey-Seager-tips-his-cap-to-Dodgers-fans.jpg"><figcaption>Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Seager is one of many Rangers who have dealt with injury issues this season. Almost the entire pitching staff <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rangers-news-jacob-degrom-throw-bullpen-session-injury-recovery">was banged up</a> at some point, forcing the team to use several different relief pitchers throughout the year. The 2024 campaign was a disappointment for Texas, as the team is nearly guaranteed a losing season. Texas is 73-81 heading into Saturday’s games.</p><p>The shortstop has been struggling to stay healthy. He had two hernia surgeries in the last year, and he will need the offseason to heal from his latest procedure. It may be a bit of a long road to Seager feeling 100 percent once again.</p><p>“He’s starting to move around a little bit better; I’m walking faster than him right now,” Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said.</p><p>Rangers fans hope next season is much better for the team. Texas <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rangers-news-mavs-legend-dirk-nowitzki-7-word-reaction-texas-world-series-win">won a World Series</a> in 2023, and fans thought the team may be on the road to build a dynasty. It hasn’t worked out that way; Texas has lost 7 of their last 10 games.</p><p>Seager has missed most of those contests. The shortstop’s last appearance was on September 2, in a game against the New York Yankees. He had two hits in that game, and posted four hits in his last two game appearances.</p><p>The Rangers take on the Seattle Mariners Saturday, with the first pitch scheduled for 7:05 Eastern. Seattle is 79-75 on the year.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rangers-news-corey-seager-sounds-off-on-incredible-world-series-mvp-win">World Series Most Valuable Player’s</a> early end finishes off a disappointing season for the defending champions. Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reported the <a href="https://x.com/Evan_P_Grant/status/1834379261295428051" rel="noopener">end of his season</a> on social media Thursday.</p><p>The surgery, which Grant reports will take place on Friday, is on his right side. During the offseason, Seager <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/corey-seager-2024-offseason-surgery" rel="noopener">had the same surgery</a> on his left side. He had the procedure in January and was ready for opening day, so Rangers fans should not be concerned for 2025. Seager played through the injury in the playoffs and hit .318 in the 17 games while playing through the pain.</p><p>This season was an injury-filled disaster for the Rangers. Jacob deGrom just made his first start of the season, Max Scherzer was on and off the injured list, and Jon Gray has missed starts as well. Seager’s great season ends with a stint of his own on the injured list.</p><p>He backed up his second-place finish in the MVP race with another 30-homer season in 2024.

He is originally from Lake Arrowhead, California.

McFarland also reports that the Rangers <a href="https://x.com/McFarland_Shawn/status/1831426800200651024" rel="noopener">are not sure</a> if the injury is season-ending. Either way, Texas’ playoff hopes were already dwindling and now it will require something extraordinary to occur for the Rangers to end up playing meaningful baseball in October.</p><p>In a corresponding move, Texas is <a href="https://x.com/JeffWilsonTXR/status/1831425706162843951" rel="noopener">promoting outfielder</a> Sandro Fabian to the big league club, Jeff Wilson of DLLS Sports reports.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rangers-news-corey-seager-gets-good-injury-update-after-getting-hit-in-wrist">Injuries have plagued Seager</a> in recent seasons. When healthy, the shortstop has played at a high level. Despite appearing in only 119 games in 2024, Seager still managed to finish second in American League MVP voting.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rangers-news-corey-seager-home-run-yankees">Seager has swung the bat well</a> across 123 games played in 2024. Overall, he has recorded a slash line of .278/.353/.512/.864. He has also hit 30 home runs and 21 doubles. Again, we are only in early September so Seager’s final numbers could have been truly eye-opening had he avoided this injury.</p><h2><b>Will Corey Seager play again in 2024?</b></h2><p>This is the question fans will surely be asking. There does not seem to be a clear answer at the moment. Even if Seager recovers in time to return before the end of the season, there may not be any reason to bring him back if Texas is out of the playoff conversation.</p><p>The Rangers currently hold a 66-73 record. They are 9.5 games back in the American League West and 8.5 games back in the AL Wild Card race. In other words, Texas’ postseason chances are extremely slim.</p><p>The idea of potentially bringing Seager back and risking further injury if the team is officially out of contention surely will not appeal to the Rangers. It should also be noted that possible surgery has not been ruled out, so there is no guarantee that Seager will even be ready to return before the regular season comes to an end.</p><h2><b>Time to start preparing for 2025?</b></h2><p>Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer are just a couple of the Rangers’ other injured stars. Texas won the 2023 World Series but 2024 has unfortunately been defined by injury concerns.</p><p>Every team battles injury trouble. It is an unfortunate part of sports. However, the Rangers have dealt with a shocking amount of injuries throughout the ’24 campaign. The players and coaching staff will likely refrain from using excuses but one has to wonder where this team would be if their roster was healthy.</p><p>The good news is that the Rangers do not need to enter a rebuild. Their roster is talented enough to compete. Sure, making a few necessary additions during the offseason will not hurt. But this ball club is currently constructed to make some noise in the playoff conversation.</p><p>If the Rangers can return a fairly similar roster and stay healthy in 2025, then perhaps they will rebound and make another deep postseason run. For now, Texas will focus on ending the ’24 season on a high note.</p><p>The question is if we have seen the last of Corey Seager in 2024? The Rangers will continue to provide updates on the situation as information is made available.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

This blast extended his hot streak against the White Sox.</p><p>In Wednesday’s doubleheader, Seager collected six hits, including two doubles and a clutch go-ahead single in the ninth inning of the second game.</p><p>The Rangers’ shortstop launched his 200th career home run, a 406-foot shot to right field, during the Rangers’ victory over the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field. This achievement makes him the first exclusively left-handed-hitting shortstop (excluding switch-hitters) in Major League history to reach 200 home runs, and the 15th shortstop overall to reach this milestone.</p><p>This milestone is based on players who played shortstop in over half of their career games.

The right-hander carried a no-hitter into the fifth before Gavin Sheets broke it up with a leadoff single. Eovaldi, along with relievers David Robertson and Kirby Yates, limited the White Sox to just three hits.</p><p>Yates closed out the game, earning his 25th save despite allowing a solo homer to Andrew Benintendi in the ninth.</p><p>The struggling White Sox endured their 21st sweep of the season, marking their seventh consecutive loss and 11th defeat in their last 12 games. With 104 losses on the season, they are just two away from tying the franchise’s single-season record set in 1970.</p><p>Chicago needs to win 12 of its remaining 27 games to avoid tying the 1962 New York Mets’ major league record of 120 losses in a single season.</p><p>White Sox’s rookie Nastrini (0-6) retired his first 10 batters before Seager hit his 30th homer of the season, a solo shot into the right-field patio in the fourth inning. Seager also made a strong throw to first base on Nicky Lopez’s grounder in the eighth, successfully stranding two runners.</p><p>Although <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rangers-news-corey-seager-joins-lebron-james-world-series-mvp">Corey Seager isn’t matching the near-MVP</a> form of his 2023 season, he’s still proving his value. Following Thursday’s homer, he is hitting .278 with an .870 OPS, placing him among the best in the American League.</p><p>Josh Smith, Nathaniel Lowe, and Josh Jung each recorded two hits for the Rangers. Gavin Sheets notched the first hit for the White Sox with a single to start the fifth inning, but he was quickly out when Korey Lee grounded into a double play on the next at-bat.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
