At 32 years old, Seager enters 2026 as a proven veteran shortstop coming off a down season that raises significant durability concerns for fantasy managers. His 2025 campaign showcased his elite potential with a .271 average, 21 home runs, and 61 runs scored, but the early-season struggles in 2026βbatting just .182 through 187 at-batsβsuggest either age-related decline or injury issues that warrant caution. The dramatic drop in batting average and run production compared to last year indicates he may be fighting through physical limitations that could impact his fantasy value throughout the season. While his track record as a two-time World Series MVP and multiple All-Star selection demonstrates his ceiling remains high, fantasy managers should monitor his health closely and potentially wait for consistent performance before investing heavily, as the 2026 start has cast doubt on his ability to replicate 2025's production levels.
