“Mookie Betts Bounces Back: Can His Remarkable Recovery from an 18-Pound Loss Ignite a Stellar Opening Day?”
The former MVP returned to the Los Angeles Dodgers’ lineup on Tuesday, playing his usual shortstop and hitting his usual second, only two days after revealing to reporters that he lost 18 pounds due to an unidentified illness that made him incapable of eating solid foods without vomiting.
Betts missed the Dodgers’ Tokyo Series games against the Chicago Cubs, as well as every spring training game after that, but he was on the field before and during Tuesday’s Freeway Series game against the Los Angeles Angels. He went 0-for-3 with no strikeouts while playing five innings of defense. None of his three balls in play was hit harder than 81.6 mph off the bat, per Baseball Savant.
