Mookie Betts Exits Game Abruptly with Back Pain—MRI Results Could Change Season Outlook
It’s a tough break especially considering Betts had been a constant presence, clocking every inning so far this season—even if his bat’s been a bit quiet at .179/.281/.429 with a 103 wRC+ through 32 plate appearances. Let’s hope this scare is just a hiccup and not something that derails the Dodgers’ momentum any further. The stakes are high, the tension palpable, and we’re all watching closely.
The Dodgers got their second straight blowout win over the Washington Nationals on Saturday, but will be without shortstop Mookie Betts for a little bit. Betts left the game with lower right back pain in the first inning, and will be sent for an MRI exam to determine the severity.
Betts walked and scored in the top of the first inning on a double by Freddie Freeman, then didn’t take the field for defense in the bottom of the frame, replaced by Miguel Rojas at shortstop.
