Kyle Seager’s surgery successful, officially out 10-12 weeks

The moment Kyle Seager rolled over on his hand while diving awkwardly for a ball last week, his franchise record six-year streak of Opening Day 3B starts was threatened. Once the diagnosis came through, it was clear he’d miss much more than the Japan trip. Now, Ryon Healy will be the first player to start begin the season on the hot corner since Chone Figgins in 2012 (pauses for boos). Now he’ll officially miss 10-12 weeks of play, putting him on the IL for at least April and May, and making him a 60-Day IL candidate.
