Dodgers News: Corey Seager Progressing Well, ‘Absolutely’ Expected To Be Available Opening Day

Tommy John surgery last May cut the 2018 season to just 26 games for Corey Seager, but the Los Angeles Dodgers projected at the time of the operation that he would make a full recovery by Spring Training the following year and in turn, 2019 Opening Day.

Seager then underwent arthroscopic hip surgery in August, which was not expected to impact his timeline. Seager hasn’t been on the same schedule as other position players in camp, but he’s been an active participant.

After multiple instances of just tracking pitches, he steadily built up to swinging a bat in a live batting practice setting.
