Vincej was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

Vincej, who was claimed off waivers from the Reds last week, will stick in Seattle as organizational depth after the team passed him through waivers untouched. The 26-year-old shortstop made his major-league debut in 2017, going 1-for-9 with a walk in nine appearances as a September callup.

President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman said Seager's elbow is still being monitored, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Seager has been managing elbow soreness since August. While the Dodgers are hopeful it will heal over time, they haven't ruled out the possibility of offseason surgery -- an idea that was also floated around at the beginning of September. Despite also missing time with ankle and back injuries, Seager was able to finish the season with a .295/.375/.479 line and 22 homers in 145 games.

Owings underwent surgery on his right middle finger Saturday.

The surgery, which was performed on the same finger Owings had surgery on at the end of July, was apparently done to ensure proper and complete healing. He originally fractured his finger on a bunt attempt July 30 and subsequently missed the rest of the season. Owings hasn't been given a recovery timetable at this point, but barring any setbacks, he'll likely be ready to go for the start spring training.

Owings (finger) was removed from the 60-day DL on Friday.

Owings missed the last two months of the 2017 campaign with a broken finger, but should be completely healed and at full health by the time spring training rolls around. During 97 games this past season, he slashed .268/.299/.442 with 12 home runs and 51 RBI.

Ahmed (wrist) was reinstated from the 60-day DL on Friday.

Ahmed, who underwent surgery in early September to repair his fractured right wrist, should be fully healed and ready to go for spring training in a few months. Over the course of the 2017 season, Ahmed slashed .251/.298/.419 with six home runs and 21 RBI in 53 games.

Vincej was claimed off waivers by the Mariners on Friday.

Vincej was called up to the big leagues by the Reds on Sept. 1 for the first time in his career, and proceeded to go 1-for-9 with one walk during nine appearances with the team. Moving forward, he will provide organizational depth in the infield for Seattle.

Sardinas was re-signed by the Orioles on a minor-league contract, Rich Dubroff of PressBoxOnline.com reports.

Sardinas played in 24 major-league games with the Padres last season, hitting just .163/.226/.163 in 53 at-bats before being designated for assignment by the club. After he latched on with Baltimore, the 24-year-old spent the rest of the year with Triple-A Norfolk, batting .319 with an OPS of .767. He will continue to serve as organizational depth within the infield moving forward.

Seager (back) is starting at shortstop and batting sixth for Game 1 of the World Series against the Astros on Tuesday.

It appears the star shortstop is good to go for the Fall Classic after missing all of the NLCS against the Cubs with a back injury. Seager, who went 3-for-11 (.273) with two RBI and a 3:4 K:BB in the NLDS before injuring himself, should provide a big boost for the Dodgers.

Seager (back) is on the Dodgers' World Series roster, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

As expected, Seager will be active and available for the Fall Classic. It's unclear if he'll be in the starting lineup for Game 1 at this point, as the Dodgers may choose to use him as a high-leverage pinch hitter to avoid the possibility of him aggravating his back injury in the field. The 23-year-old went 3-for-11 (.273) with two RBI in the NLDS before injuring his back in Game 3 and subsequently missing the NLCS. He'll take the place of Curtis Granderson on the World Series roster.

Seager (back) will be a part of the Dodgers' World Series roster, Jon Heyman of FanRagSports.com reports.

The 23-year-old shortstop missed the Dodgers' five-game NLCS win over the Cubs while dealing with a back issue, but he's been ramping up his activities in recent days and appears to be good to go for the World Series after getting through a simulated game with no issues Monday. The Dodgers are expected to release their official roster prior to Game 1 on Tuesday, but his return would obviously provide a big boost. While Seager is expected to be included on the roster, it's still not a given that he'll start the first game of the series; Los Angeles could choose to use him as a high-leverage pinch hitter at first to avoid the possibility of him aggravating his back injury in the field.
