The Los Angeles Dodgers are going to be without Mookie Betts for a while, but it could have been worse.
The former MVP is headed to the injured list with a cracked rib sustained in a collision with outfielder Cody Bellinger on Wednesday, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters after Saturday's game. Roberts initially declined to specify a timeline for his return.
Dave Roberts said Mookie Betts has a cracked rib. He will go on the injured list. His return is TBD.
