The defending World Series champions will be without one of their premier players for most of spring training. Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager underwent surgery for a left sports hernia repair on Tuesday. Texas general manager Chris Young said that Seager will miss most of spring training and the team is hoping that he will be ready by Opening Day. The 29-year-old finished last season with a .327 batting average to go along with 33 home runs and 96 RBI.
