It's been a rollercoaster year for Corey Seager, the reigning World Series MVP and Texas Rangers' shortstop. After undergoing surgery in January to repair a sports hernia, Seager was expected to make a full recovery. However, he was placed on the 10-day injured list on September 4 due to right hip discomfort, which has now led to the decision to undergo season-ending sports hernia surgery.

Seager's journey began in January when he underwent surgery to repair a sports hernia. He was expected to make a full recovery and be ready for the upcoming season. However, things took a turn for the worse when he started experiencing right hip discomfort, which forced him to sit out almost all of spring training.

Despite his efforts to play through the discomfort, Seager's performance suffered. He hit only two homers and eight RBIs in his first 29 regular-season games. However, he managed to turn things around, hitting .296 with 27 homers and 66 RBIs since May 3.

The Rangers' general manager, Chris Young, made the tough decision to put Seager on the injured list and later to undergo season-ending surgery. "We felt like it was a prudent decision to end his season early and give him the opportunity to fully recover," Young said. "We want to make sure he's healthy and ready for the 2025 season."

Seager's surgery will be his second in the past 12 months, with the first one being done on the opposite side of his abdomen. It's a setback for the 30-year-old, but it's also a chance for him to get a head start on his recovery and be ready for the next season.
