“There Goes Their Season”: Untimely Injury to $325 Million MLB Star Upsets Texas Rangers Fans

Injuries are commonplace in the game of baseball, with players suffering all kinds of incidents while playing or training. But 2023 has been especially brutal with several high-profile stars suffering from injury. Most recently, a $325 million Texas Rangers superstar joined the Injured List. And if reports are to be believed, he is going to miss at least four weeks of action. 

The Rangers have started the season on a decent note with 7 wins and 5 losses, with up-and-down results. But this injury update will set their team back to start the season. Fans have reacted to the news and seem upset by the implications of the injury to the Rangers’ season.

Texas Rangers star Corey Seager is out for at least 4 weeks with a hamstring strain

Texas Rangers star Corey Seager is set to miss at least for weeks due to a left hamstring strain. The star shortstop suffered the injury during a recent game against the Kansas City Royals. During the 5th inning, he got a hit and was running to second base when he pulled up with the injury. Fox Sports: MLB shared the update via Twitter, informing fans and supporters regarding the injury.

In a Tweet, Fox Sports: MLB said, “Corey Seager is expected to be out a minimum of 4 weeks with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, per @Evan_P_Grant”. This is bad news for the Texas-based team as they compete for the top of the AL West.

The reactions to the injury have been extremely positive, with fans showing support for the star shortstop.

Some fans said that the Rangers will face a massive setback.

Other fans were upset by the injury in general.

Seager has been great for the Rangers this year, after signing a mammoth $325 deal with them in December 2021. He was looking to lead the Texas-based team to the postseason for the first time since 2016. 

The Rangers will have a steep hill to climb

As Corey Seager misses at least a month, the Texas Rangers will struggle to compete in the AL West. Both the Los Angeles Angels and the Houston Astros will be breathing down their necks and are likely to overtake them during the time that Seager is out. It will be interesting to see how the Rangers make up for the lost firepower.
