The Texas Rangers are still waiting for two key pieces to return, but the latest injury updates on Corey Seager and Jordan Montgomery give fans something real to monitor. The Rangers injury picture has carried weight all season. Seager is still working through concussion symptoms, while Montgomery continues his recovery from left UCL surgery. Both players helped power the Rangers’ 2023 World Series run and could still shape what comes next.
Seager landed on the 7-day injured list on June 15, retroactive to June 12, due to a concussion with rib and jaw soreness. His Rangers return date remains unclear. Still, he took live batting practice in Miami on June 23. He also simulated defensive innings by taking ground balls, waiting in the dugout, then returning to the field..
That injury progress matters, but Corey Seager still needs to clear more steps before the Rangers activate him. Texas cannot rush this process because concussion symptoms demand patience. Still, seeing him back in baseball activity gives the clubhouse a needed lift.
The Rangers also dealing with Jack Leiter’s ankle injury, which required surgery Wednesday and will sideline him for an extended stretch. He has not been ruled out for the season, but there is no clear timetable yet.
Rangers wait on Jordan Montgomery’s next step
Montgomery’s update may feel just as important. The left-hander opened the season on the 60-day injured list after left UCL surgery, with an expected return in early August. On June 21, he began a rehab assignment at Double-A Frisco and allowed one hit in one scoreless inning.
It was only one inning, but for the Rangers, that first clean step still matters for a pitcher coming off major elbow surgery.
Seager has not fully found his usual rhythm at the plate. He is slashing .186/.284/.373 with nine home runs and 24 RBI. Those numbers do not erase his presence as a two-time World Series MVP. If Seager clears his final boxes and Montgomery keeps building, the Rangers could feel different by August. Is another late-season push starting to take shape?
