LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers scratched shortstop Corey Seager from the starting lineup 25 minutes before their game Friday night against the Nationals. After the game, manager Dave Roberts said Seager had a personal issue to attend to and returned to the dugout by midgame.
Enrique Hernandez replaced Seager in the batting order, starting at second base. Chris Taylor, already in the lineup at second base, was moved to start at shortstop.
Seager has struggled coming off elbow and hip operations last year. He is hitting .230 with two homers, 12 RBIs and a .675 OPS. He came into the season with a .302 career average and .866 OPS.
