Outside The Confines: Somebody call a doctor
Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY SportsGood morning.
We’re going to start with the butcher’s bill, because it’s really expensive today. Especially for the Dodgers. Shortstop Mookie Betts broke his left hand when he was hit with a pitch in Sunday’s game.
And Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto left his start on Saturday with what was later diagnosed as a strained rotator cuff. All the Dodgers are saying at this point is that the injury is not season-ending.
Andy McCullough writes that while this is a blow to the Dodgers, all that really matters is for Betts and Yamamoto to be healthy in October. (The Athletic sub. req.)
