Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager will miss atleast the next two games due to a contusion on his lower right leg according to manager Dave Roberts. \u00a0Seager had already been dealing with a right elbow injury.<\/p>\n

Logan Forsythe took over Seager’s spot in the lineup leaving Chase Utley starting at second base.<\/p>\n

“More focused, he’s point-tender on a specific place, which is good, where yesterday the ankle area was really bad and he was limping,” said Roberts via MLB.com<\/a>. “Tests came back negative, he’s better today. We’ll just keep re-evaluating him and hopefully it’s a couple-day thing. Even tomorrow, we’ll see. Probably think about keeping him out of the lineup a couple days.”<\/p>\n

While Roberts does not feel the injuries have affected Seager at the plate, the infielder has been in a 9-for-52 slump since Aug. 28 dropping his batting average 14 points to .297 on the season.<\/p>\n
