Dodgers Expect Mookie Betts to Miss 6-8 Weeks with Hand Fracture Injury After HBP

The return timeline for Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts has been revealed.

On Monday, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that the team is expecting Betts to miss roughly 6-8 weeks with a hand fracture (per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times). Roberts compared the timeline to former Los Angeles shortstop Corey Seager, who missed 65 games in 2021 with a similar injury.

Betts suffered the fractured hand after he was hit by a pitch in the seventh inning of the Dodgers' 3-0 win over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.
