Corey Seager Out Of Lineup Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager (rest) is out of the lineup Thursday. It appears to be a routine night off for Seager who only has five hits in his last 25 at-bats and has only homered once since the All-Star break. Seager still has good plate discipline numbers as his 10.2 percent walk rate […]

Corey Seager is Out on Thursday
