Corey Seager is day-to-day with quad injury

It looks as if the Dodgers’ lineup will be taking a major hit over the next few days, as Corey Seager is currently ‘day-to-day’ with a quad injury.

“There’s a little bit of a quad [injury],” Dave Roberts said to the media on Sunday morning. “It was a left quad. The hydration, cramping, we’re not sure. Today I wanted to give it that extra day and see where we’re at. I don’t see him being available today. Day-to-day.”

Last night, Roberts said that his calf was sore after fouling one off it, but these are two separate incidents. “Just where we’re at, we want to make sure nothing else comes of it. We’ll see where we’re at tomorrow.”

Seager has been the best hitter on the Dodgers so far in 2020. He’s hitting .361 with an OPS of 1.119, along with three homers and three doubles. He has scored eight runs in nine games. Additionally, his 21 hard-hit balls are the most in major-league baseball.
