World Series MVP Corey Seager had surgery Tuesday for a left sports hernia repair, and the Texas Rangers All-Star shortstop will miss most of spring training.

General manager Chris Young said Seager had surgery in Arizona, where the team hold spring training, and will remain there for rehabilitation. The Rangers are hopeful Seager will be ready by Opening Day.

Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins says he should have few limitations in his first spring with his new team after missing the entire 2023 season with a torn left ACL.

"I'll be stoked to get on the field," Hoskins said Monday in a Zoom news conference after agreeing last week to a $34 million, two-year contract that includes an opt-out after this season. "I'm pretty bored as a competitor in not having played in so long."

The World Series champion Texas Rangers have two multiple-Cy Young Award winners who could return to their rotation sometime in the middle of the summer.

Three-time Cy Young winner Max Scherzer said Saturday that he is progressing from December surgery to repair a herniated disk in his lower back, while two-time winner Jacob deGrom plans to resume throwing this spring after elbow surgery that ended his Rangers debut after only six starts.

"When we get us back here, hopefully somewhere around the trade deadline, it's like picking up a couple guys," deGrom said during the team's annual FanFest.

Houston Astros right-handed reliever Kendall Graveman is expected to miss the 2024 season after undergoing surgery on his right shoulder, the team announced Tuesday.

After missing the playoffs because of discomfort in his right shoulder, Graveman, who had the procedure last week, again experienced discomfort while preparing for spring training with a flat-ground throwing program.

New York Mets prospect Ronny Mauricio will miss most or all of the 2024 season following surgery to repair a torn right ACL.

Mauricio, 22, who made his Major League debut Sept. 1, was hurt while playing for Tigres del Licey in the Dominican Winter League on Dec. 10.

He was on first base and started for second in what appeared to be a stolen base attempt, then stopped, fell and grabbed his right knee. He walked gingerly off the field.

Mauricio hit .248 with two homers, nine RBIs, seven steals and a .643 OPS for the Mets in September after batting .292 with 23 homers, 71 RBI and 24 steals for Triple-A Syracuse.
