The Los Angeles Dodgers gained some clarity with Mookie Betts when it was discovered his ongoing right hip pain has been caused by a bone spur. The revelation was made after Betts was placed on the 10-day injured list and returned to L.A. to meet with specialists.
While more knowledge was obtained, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said it remained unknown when Betts would return. The IL stint for the troublesome hip is his second since the All-Star break.
For the time being, the 2018 American League MVP is making progress toward increasing his level of activity. Betts has been active in the weight room at Dodger Stadium and the next step is taking his work onto the field.
