Mookie Betts Exits Game Abruptly with Back Pain—MRI Results Could Change Season Outlook
“It was running the bases, scoring on that double,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters at Nationals Park, as shown on SportsNet LA. “He’s going to get some testing right now, and we’ll know more later. It’s certainly more moderate than significant.”
Betts won’t play Sunday, and might be out for at least a few days, regardless of whether an injured list stint is needed. From Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register:
“I don’t want to get too far ahead of what we’re gonna do. But we’ll see,” Roberts said. “We’ll huddle up and see if we need to get a player here to protect us, depending on how the MRI comes. But yeah, he certainly won’t be playing the next couple days, I would assume.”
Hyeseong Kim, who would be the logical call-up should the Dodgers decide they need extra infield depth, did not play for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
