Already out for the 2018 season after ligament-replacement surgery on his right elbow, the two-time All-Star shortstop will have arthroscopic surgery on his left hip Tuesday in New York, the Dodgers announced.
Seager played the second half of 2017 with inflammation and bone chips in the elbow. He tore the ulnar collateral ligament in April and had the surgery soon after. The injury overshadowed a minor tweak to his hip that occurred a few days earlier and cost him a couple days. The Dodgers opted to clean up the issue while Seager was already rehabilitating.
Over the weekend, a young Dodgers fan asked manager Dave Roberts how the team might handle a roster that includes Machado and Seager.
