Seager Misses 60 Games Again in 2026, Rangers Flag Availability Issue
Texas brass publicly called out Seager's repeated absences as a key reason the club fell short of playoff contention for a third straight year.
Rangers president Chris Young cited Corey Seager's missed time as a critical factor in the team's 80-82 finish. Seager missed 60 games in both 2025 and 2026, limiting his impact despite his massive $325MM contract running through 2031. Young told reporters the club did not get enough from Seager and Wyatt Langford in terms of games played. The recurring availability problem raises questions about Seager's health outlook entering the 2027 season.
