The Dodgers are learning more about the health of Mookie Betts. Dave Roberts dropped an update after the Yankees series.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0took two of three wins in the World Series rematch. But rolled without\u00a0Mookie Betts\u00a0against the New York Yankees throughout the weekend.<\/p>\n

Will L.A. welcome back its superstar soon? Manager\u00a0Dave Roberts\u00a0helped\u00a0drop an update\u00a0on Betts’ health, via Dodgers reporter Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe did hit and he wasn\u2019t compromised at all swinging the bat,\u201d Roberts said.<\/p>\n

Betts took some swings in the batting cage before the game. Which offered the Dodgers a promising update on their perennial All-Star. The two-time World Series champion is still day-to-day, per Roberts.<\/p>\n

Roberts, though, has a plan in place for now involving Betts. Hyeseong Kim gets the start at shortstop on Monday when the New York Mets head to Chavez Ravine. The Dodgers will look at Betts again Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Did Mookie Betts tease Dodgers return?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Betts sparked some intrigue before the Yankees-Dodgers series wrapped up.\u00a0He teased a potential return per USA Today baseball columnist Bob Nightengale.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cMookie Betts says he\u2019s feeling better and expects to be back in the Dodgers lineup in the next couple of days,\u201d Nightengale shared on X Sunday.<\/p>\n

Plunkett included how Betts’ fractured toe improved. To the point Betts\u00a0could put on a shoe over it.<\/p>\n

Betts has been out of action for nearly five days. He last played on May 28 against the Cleveland Guardians. He struggled against the American League Central franchise \u2014 going a combined 2-of-14 at the bat. Betts drove in one runner during the May 26 contest. The veteran smacked a 89 mph cutter during the top of the sixth that lured Kim home. Los Angeles won that contest 7-2.<\/p>\n

Kim handled SS duties, but not for the Yankees series. Miguel Rojas handled that role against the reigning AL champs. But now L.A. is soon to welcome back its eight-time All-Star \u2014 with the first week of June looking promising for his return.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
