Usually, when you’re missing an MVP in the lineup, you struggle to win ballgames. For the Dodgers, they’ve hardly missed a beat while missing both Mookie Betts and Cody Bellinger. Thankfully for LA, Betts made his return to the lineup on Tuesday and didn’t miss a beat.
The All-Star outfielder connected on his second home run of the season in a 7-0 win over the Colorado Rockies and played 8 innings on defense before coming out of the game in the 9th. After the game, manager Dave Roberts confirmed that everything is fine with the right fielder.
Dave Roberts said that he did not hear any complaints from Mookie, so sounds like he is doing well.
