Mookie Betts missed both games of the Tokyo Series against the Chicago Cubs due to an illness, and the Los Angeles Dodgers have no idea how their starting shortstop got sick.
According to manager Dave Roberts, Betts is expected to be in the lineup for the team’s domestic Opening Day on March 27 against the Detroit Tigers.
