5 Corey Seager SS

Seager isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Braves.

Seager is 4-for-18 at the dish through the first five games of May, and he'll get the day off Tuesday against a lefty (Max Fried). Chris Taylor will get the start at shortstop and hit fifth.

Seager went 1-for-3 with a single, a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in a victory over the Braves on Monday.

Seager got the Dodgers on the board with a run-scoring groundout in the first and crossed the plate for the team's final run in the fifth. He has shown signs of emerging from a prolonged slump by going 4-for-12 in his last three games. This follows a seven-game stretch in which he managed only one hit in 26 at-bats.

Seager went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles, a walk and a run in the Dodgers' 8-5 defeat to the Padres on Sunday.

The shortstop has been slumping of late, but he reached base three times in this contest, lacing a pair of two-baggers to give him 10 doubles on the season. He's still hitting just .232 through 125 at-bats, but hopefully this performance is a sign Seager is primed for a hot streak that will start to pump his average back towards his career mark of .295.

Seager is hitting cleanup against the Padres on Friday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Seager drops from second to fourth in the order for this matchup against San Diego's Eric Lauer. He'll look to get it rolling at the plate as he has just one hit in his last 24 at-bats, but the left-handed Lauer could present him with a tough matchup, as Seager is just 6-for-39 against southpaws this season.

Seager is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

With a lefty (Jon Lester) on the mound for Chicago and the Dodgers and Cubs playing a day game after a night game, manager Dave Roberts decided it was a good time to give the lefty-hitting Seager a break. Unless he makes an appearance off the bench, Seager will put his five-game hitting streak on hold while Chris Taylor checks in as the Dodgers' starting shortstop for the afternoon.
