Seager (hand) is optimistic he'll be ready to return from the 60-day injured list when first eligible May 25, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Seager has been sidelined all season recovering from hand surgery he underwent in mid-March. The veteran third baseman said he felt good during an on-field batting practice session Tuesday, giving him confidence in his ability to return when first eligible. Seager will still have to complete a minor-league rehab assignment before being cleared to rejoin the big club, but he's trending in the right direction. Look for Ryon Healy to continue filling in at third base until Seager is ready to return.

Seager (hand) participated in batting practice on the field Tuesday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Seager resumed hitting off a tee last week and Tuesday's batting practice session was his first since undergoing hand surgery March 12. The 31-year-old will be eligible to be activated off the 60-day injured list in late May, but it's currently unclear if he'll require additional time on the shelf.

Seager (hand) was out on the field taking grounders before Saturday's game with infield coach Perry Hill, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports. "It's definitely exciting for me," Seager said after working out with Hill. "It'd been a long time, so it was nice getting back out there and doing something. I'm ahead of schedule. I feel good. I have full range of motion, the strength is coming back. We're still doing a lot of strengthening work to get back to the norm, but physically it feels good."

EDGE Analysis

It's yet another positive step for Seager this week, as he also began swinging a bat on soft toss pitches and off a tee earlier in the week. Saturday's on-field work was his first since his March surgery. Seager also continues to work daily with team physical therapist Ryan Bitzel at T-Mobile Park as part of his recovery process.

EDGE Analysis

This marks a step in the right direction for Seager, who has been sidelined all season after undergoing hand surgery in mid-March. The veteran third baseman is still a ways away from rejoining the Mariners, with a timetable for his return likely not coming into focus until he begins facing live pitching. Ryon Healy will continue to fill in at the hot corner in his absence.

Seager (hand) has yet to resume swinging a bat and is likely around two months away from returning from the 60-day injured list, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mariners' decision to place Seager on the 60-day IL rather than the 10-day IL shortly after spring training already ensured that the third baseman wouldn't make his season debut until at least late May. Based on Johns' report, Seager doesn't look like he'll be ready for activation when he's first eligible, even though he has since regained full range of motion in his surgically repaired left hand. Before a firm target date for Seager's return is established, the Mariners will want to see how he fares in a live batting practice setting, and it's not clear when he might be ready for that sort of activity.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Scott Servais went on to report that Seager now has full range of motion following his mid-March hand surgery and has thrown in the cage, but he still remains some time away from being able to wield a bat. Seager therefore seems to still be weeks removed from a rehab assignment, keeping a late-May/early-June return the most likely target for the moment.

Seager (hand) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Seager underwent hand surgery in mid-March and is expected to be sidelined until at least June, so the move won't affect his recovery timeline. The 31-year-old had his cast removed Monday and now has a significant amount rehab work ahead of him. Ryon Healy is expected to work as the Mariners' primary third baseman in his absence.

Seager (hand) had his cast removed Monday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Seager still hasn't been cleared for baseball activities after undergoing hand surgery in mid-March. With the third baseman expected to be out until June, look for Ryon Healy to hold down the hot corner to open the season.

Seager (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Seager underwent hand surgery in mid-March and is set to be out until June. Ryon Healy is expected to handle third base in his absence, leaving first base for Jay Bruce and possibly Daniel Vogelbach.

Seager (hand surgery) will miss 10-12 weeks, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Initially it seemed like Seager might just miss April, but now he could miss all of May and some of June. The initially 8-10 week estimate was apparently an estimate for how long it would be until Seager could start swinging a bat, so he will obviously need more time to get up to speed, likely requiring a rehab assignment. Ryon Healy is expected to open the year at third base in his stead.
