Adding insult to literally injury, the Texas Rangers will now be without yet another star player down the stretch of the season as they desperately try to sneak into the playoff conversation.
Only 4.5 games back of an American League Wild Card spot, Texas is set to kick off a three-game weekend set in Sacramento against divisional opponent, Athletics. They will though have to do it without shortstop Corey Seager, who was diagnosed with appendicitis on Wednesday.
According to President of Baseball Operation Chris Young, Seager will undergo an appendectomy and will be "out a period of time," but has not been ruled out for the season.
