Dodgers’ hot-hitting Corey Seager leaves game with back injury

LOS ANGELES – Corey Seager was removed from the Dodgers’ game against the Giants in the top of the third inning Friday with low back discomfort.
Austin Slater led off the inning with a ground ball to Dodgers second baseman Chris Taylor. Seager wasn’t involved in the play, but he was visited by assistant athletic director Yosuke Nakajima a moment later. The visit was brief. Taylor replaced Seager at shortstop and Kiké Hernandez took over at second base.
