DENVER -- Corey Seager provided an upbeat update on his recovery from two major operations and insisted he'll be ready to play -- and play shortstop -- for the Dodgers in 2019.
Seager, who underwent Tommy John elbow reconstruction on May 6, is walking without crutches one month after arthroscopic surgery to repair torn left hip labrum and shave a misshaped bone. He said he doesn't consider the fact that he's had two significant injuries by age 24 the result of playing a demanding defensive position usually manned by bodies smaller than his 6-4, 220-pound frame.
