DENVER -- When Corey Seager began grasping his hand in excruciating pain, the Los Angeles Dodgers held their breath.A collective sigh of relief, though, as X-rays were negative after the All-Star rookie shortstop was hit by a pitch near his left wrist. The team can shake off an 8-1 loss to the Colorado Rockies on Monday night a lot easier now.After all, Seagers had a big hand in the success of the NL West-leading Dodgers this season. He wont play Tuesday, but that was planned anyway.Anything around the hand is pretty scary, but fortunately hes young, resilient, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.Seager stepped toward a pitch from Chris Rusin in the seventh only for it to hit him as he tried to lean away. He was in quite a bit of pain as he made his way to first base, but remained in the game. Seager was hit in the fifth inning, too.He quickly shook it off.It always hurts when you get hit.

Maeda has a 2.12 ERA in three starts at the hitter friendly park.Overall, I thought I pitched pretty well, Maeda said through a translator. It was that one pitch which was a slider inside that was definitely a mistake pitch.Jon Gray (9-6) surrendered four hits and struck out eight over a crisp six innings for his first win since Aug. 2.I feel like sometimes you can out-aggressive people. I like to do that, Gray said. Bring a little intensity and cruise from there.Gray started strong, which hasnt always been the case this season. Of the 72 runs he has allowed, 34 have been scored in the opening ttwo innings.ddddddddddddIn this game, not even a third-inning downpour could interrupt his concentration.Gray ran into trouble in the fifth with two on and one out. Adrian Gonzalez sent a sinking liner to center that Charlie Blackmon hauled in as he slid on the slick grass. Gray pointed his glove toward the outfielder in appreciation.That was awesome, Gray said. That really helped me out a lot.DJ LeMahieu had a two-run double in a five-run seventh that turned a pitching duel into a rout.TRAINERS ROOMDodgers: LHP Clayton Kershaw (mild disk irritation) will face hitters in a simulated game on Tuesday in Los Angeles.

So, depending on how he comes out of it, well make a decision, Roberts explained.FANTASY DRAFTRoberts has a new player on his team -- Julio Jones, the game-changing receiver of the Atlanta Falcons. Jones may not help the Dodgers win the NL West, but could lift Roberts and his team to a fantasy football title.The Dodgers held their league draft in Denver on Sunday.

They took Jones with the No. 2 overall pick.THIS & THATLast week, Maeda was optioned to the Arizona League Dodgers to free up roster space.
