Chase Utley and Corey Seager are not in the Dodgers’ lineup for Game 3

reporting from NEW YORK —  Whatever retribution the New York Mets might wish to exact upon Chase Utley will have to wait.

Although Utley had a career .333 batting average against Mets starter Matt Harvey, the Dodgers kept him on the bench for Game 3 of the National League division series Monday.

And, if the Mets had thought about “your shortstop for our shortstop” retaliation -- after Utley’s slide in Game 2 broke the leg of Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada -- well, that will have to wait too, because rookie Corey Seager is out of the Dodgers’ lineup too.

Seager has one hit in eight at-bats in the NLDS, with four strikeouts. Jimmy Rollins gets the start at shortstop.

The Dodgers’ lineup:

Howie Kendrick 2B

Jimmy Rollins SS

Adrian Gonzalez 1B

Justin Turner 3B

Andre Ethier RF

Carl Crawford LF

Yasmani Grandal C

Enrique Hernandez CF

Brett Anderson P
