Is Mookie Betts Missing Game 1 vs. Red Sox? Exploring Reasons Behind Dodgers Shortstop’s Potential Absence
SUFFOLK COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS, JUL 24 – Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Betts might miss Friday's opener due to personal issues as the Dodgers face his former team in a key series at Fenway Park.
- On Friday, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced Betts might miss the game due to personal reasons, as the Dodgers face the Red Sox at Fenway Park at 7:10 p.m. EDT.
- This season, Mookie Betts, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder, has slashed a career-low.238/.309/.370 and is in a 12-game home run drought.
- Reflecting on Betts’ status, Roberts told reporters Wednesday, `There might be some things going on that he might not be around, that he's got to deal with personally,` while `Everything is OK with him, but yeah, we'll see`.
- Consequently, fans may have to wait a day for Betts's return, and if he’s unavailable Friday, he could play Saturday when Kershaw faces Crochet.
- Throughout his career, Betts earned four straight All-Star selections, started in Boston for six seasons, and added four more All-Stars, two Gold Gloves, and two World Series rings with the Dodgers.
