As the Los Angeles Dodgers remain hopeful Clayton Kershaw will rebound from the shoulder inflammation that’s interrupted his Spring Training progression, Corey Seager continues to work toward becoming fully prepared for game action by Opening Day.
Seager underwent Tommy John surgery last May, cutting his 2018 season short after just 26 games. He then had arthroscopic hip surgery in August, which was not expected to impact his original timetable of being available come Spring Training.
The Dodgers have handled their young shortstop with caution, as it wasn’t until this week that Seager began swinging the bat in a live setting.
