Dodgers’ Dave Roberts Provides Update on Mookie Betts After Late Scratch From Lineup

The Los Angeles Dodgers earned a 7-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels Sunday night, but it wasn’t without some disappointing news.

Manager Dave Roberts provided an update on Dodgers superstar Mookie Betts, who was a late scratch from Sunday’s lineup due to the sickness that sidelined him in Japan.

“I don’t think long-term, I’m not too concerned,” Roberts said. “He’s not going to play tomorrow. As for the home opener, we’ll just take it day by day.

“The recovery hasn’t gone great.”

Betts evidently looked discouraged when he spoke to the media prior to leaving Dodger Stadium early.
