Dodgers News: Corey Seager Scratched From Lineup Vs. Nationals Due ‘Personal’ Matter

The Los Angeles Dodgers eagerly anticipated the return of Corey Seager this season after he was limited to just 26 games in 2018 because of Tommy John surgery. Then while recovering from the elbow operation, Seager underwent arthroscopic hip surgery.

It’s been tough sledding for him thus far, which in some part was to be expected given that Seager hadn’t played in a regular-season game for nearly one year. One positive takeaway thus far is he’s remained healthy despite a heavy workload early.

There was some concern that may have changed in some regard Friday night when Seager was a late scratch from the lineup.
