The Rangers transferred Seager (hernia) to the 60-day injured list Friday.
Seager is slated to undergo season-ending surgery Friday to address his sports hernia, and his move to the 60-day IL will officially rule him out for the remainder of the season. Jacob deGrom (elbow) will return from the IL to fill the open 40-man spot. Seager is expected to be fully recovered by spring training.

Seager was diagnosed with a sports hernia and will have season-ending surgery Friday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Seager has been out for the last week due to what was originally deemed hip soreness. However, he has now been diagnosed with a sports hernia on his right side. There hasn't been any official word on his status for 2025, but he'll presumably be ready for spring training. Josh Smith has been filling in as Texas' shortstop and will presumably continue to do so over the final weeks of the season.
Rangers' Corey Seager: Placed on IL with hip soreness

The Rangers placed Seager on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with right hip discomfort, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.
It's an injury that seems to have been nagging at Seager for a bit, as he had been out of the lineup for three of the previous seven contests. Seager will be eligible for activation Sept. 16, but with less than two weeks left in the season at that point and the Rangers out of the playoff picture, it's possible he's played his last game this season. Josh Smith could see the bulk of the starts at shortstop while Seager is out, with Ezequiel Duran and Jonathan Ornelas also in the mix.
Seager is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.
Seager has a .968 OPS with seven extra-base hits in his last 10 contests, but he'll sit Tuesday for the second time in Texas' past five games. Jonathan Ornelas will take over at shortstop and bat ninth against Yankees lefty Carlos Rodon.
