Corey Seager (elbow, hip) homered Wednesday in his Cactus League debut against the Cubs.

Seager wasn't expected to play in any Cactus League games this spring, but he started at shortstop in this one and popped a solo shot off Cole Hamels in the top of the third inning. The 24-year-old will play in all three of the Dodgers' exhibition games against the Angels in Los Angeles next week and he should be a full-go for Opening Day. He's been undervalued in fantasy drafts.

Seager (elbow) is starting at shortstop and hitting third Wednesday against the Cubs.

As expected, Seager is set to make his Cactus League debut after getting up to speed in minor-league action. The shortstop also plans to participate in the team's three-game exhibition Freeway Series prior to the beginning of the regular season. Barring any setbacks, Seager should be starting at shortstop for the Dodgers on Opening Day.

Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Seager (elbow) will play Opening Day against the Diamondbacks, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Seager will also play in the three-game exhibition series against the Angels leading up to to the regular-season opener March 28. It's quite a statement from Roberts, as the 24-year-old has yet to make an appearance in a Cactus League game this spring. According to Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times, the young shortstop will play in minor-league games Sunday and Monday as he ramps up towards his Cactus League debut. Seager hasn't experienced any setbacks with his surgically repaired elbow this spring, but the Dodgers have understandably been cautious with his return.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Corey Seager (elbow, hip) will be ready to play on Opening Day.

Seager isn't going to play in a single Cactus League game, but he will play in all three of the "Freeway Series" games against the Angels and will be ready to roll Opening Day on March 28 versus the Diamondbacks. It's an unorthodox spring that he's had as he comes back from elbow and hip surgeries, but it looks like Seager will be ready for fantasy owners from the jump.
