Dodgers expect SS Seager to be ready for Opening Day

The Los Angeles Dodgers are confident that shortstop Corey Seager, out for most of last season after elbow and hip surgeries, will be back in the lineup for Opening Day. "He looks really good," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday of the National League's Rookie of the Year in 2016, when he batted .308 with 26 home runs and 72 RBIs. Roberts, speaking to reporters in his first spring training availability, hopes Seager, who is throwing at 90 feet, can get 50 to 60 at-bats before being cleared for Cactus League action.
