The Dodgers expect Corey Seager to play on Thursday night in the first game of the preseason Freeway Series against the Angels, Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday. Seager will join his teammates at Dodger Stadium after not appearing in a major-league game since spraining his left knee on March 12.
Seager played six innings on Monday in a minor-league game and was scheduled to do the same on Tuesday. He will rest on Wednesday before returning to the big-league schedule.
Roberts also sounded optimistic about catcher Yasmani Grandal, who has been sidelined with inflammation in his right forearm.
