Texas Rangers star shortstop Corey Seager was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, one day after undergoing an appendectomy.

Seager underwent the procedure in Mansfield, Texas. It was performed by Dr. Garish Alexander.

Seager departed Wednesday’s 20-3 victory after the fourth inning due to abdominal pain and was diagnosed with appendicitis. The five-time All-Star hit a two-run homer earlier in the contest.

Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young told reporters on Thursday that Seager “did not want to rule out the season.”

Seager is batting .271 with 21 home runs and 50 RBIs in 102 games this season while dealing with an assortment of injuries.

Texas recalled infielder/outfielder Dylan Moore from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move.

Moore, 33 signed with Texas on Wednesday and went 1-for-4 that night against the Salt Lee Bees.

Moore was released by the Seattle Mariners on Aug. 25. He batted .193 with nine homers and 19 RBIs in 88 games this season.

The Rangers transferred outfielder Evan Carter (broken right wrist) to the 60-day IL to open up a 40-man roster spot for Moore.

Moore is batting ninth and playing first base for Texas in Friday night’s game against the host Athletics. Ezequiel Durán is playing shortstop and batting second.
