As well as Corey Seager has played in his first eight games in the major leagues, Manager Don Mattingly said he plans for Jimmy Rollins to be the Dodgers starting shortstop when he returns from a jammed right knuckle.
“When Jimmy gets back, we plan on playing Jimmy,” Mattingly said.
Seager, 21, will start his fifth consecutive game at shortstop Saturday in place of the sidelined Rollins.
Widely regarded as one of the top prospects in baseball, Seager is batting .385 with four doubles and four runs batted in. Seager reached based four times Friday night in the series opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks, as he was one for one with three walks.
