Stomach bug sidelines Seager on Saturday

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Designated hitter Corey Seager, already on a reduced schedule as he rebuilds throwing arm strength, was a late scratch from Saturday's starting lineup against the Giants because of a stomach illness, possibly food poisoning.

Manager Dave Roberts said he expects Seager to be back in the lineup on Sunday, when Clayton Kershaw makes his Cactus League debut on the road against the Mariners.

There is no target date for Seager to resume play at shortstop. He continues a throwing program after rehabbing a late-season elbow injury and choosing not to undergo surgery.
