Mookie Betts The Dodgers won’t play the game against the Yankees 8-5 on Friday, and the shortstop wouldn’t be in the series’ starting lineup due to a fracture of the tip of his second left toe. Betts and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters (including Jack Harris and Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times) that the emergencies encountered in the series are still possible, hoping that Betts will return to the roster after a few days off.
Betts’ injury occurred on the court, and Betts said he “Just going to the bathroom in the dark and hitting my toes on the wall. “Bates said there didn’t seem to be a trip with the injured list.Just pain“, then take a break.”It’s swelling, it’s OK.transparent
Thursday was a daily day for the Dodgers, so Bates recovered immediately after his injury. However, it wasn’t until June 12 that Los Angeles had another rest day, as the tilt with New York yesterday started 23 games in 24 days. Not that there is a good time to suffer a fractured toe, but this busy schedule gives Bates little chance to rest if his injury lasts. exist Miguel Rojas,,,,, Hyeseong Kim,,,,, Tommy Edmanand Enrique Hernandez If Bates has to miss more time than expected, it gives the Dodgers a lot of depth, but obviously Los Angeles wants to get eight All-Star games as soon as possible.
A toe fracture continued to be a tough season for Bates and was reduced by his high standards for a year. Betts lost 15 pounds while dealing with severe flu disease in March, giving him a chance to compete in the Dodgers’ season open Tokyo series against the Cubs. He was able to return to the Dodgers’ first North American game on March 27, but Bates had a .254/.338/.405 slash and eight home runs in 234 sets.
This can still translate to the average of 111 WRC+, and Bates has walked more than hits this season, so his batting and contact skills are still as sharp as ever. The quality of the contact is much lower than Bates’ specifications, as his hard-hitting and barrel rate is only 25% of all batsmen. .249 BABIP could also be a factor, which could be the effort of Betts to completely transition to shortstop position that has lifted him out of focus. Defensively, Bates showed his courage in his shortstop position this year (+2 defensive score, +3 +3 outs above average).
