Mookie Betts Off To Slow 2022 Start

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts has not yet looked like the 15th-drafted player overall so far to start the 2022 season. The 29-year-old has slashed just .214/.214/.286 with a 35.7% strikeout rate through 14 plate appearances.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Michael Pineda is slated to make a start for Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday against the Iowa Cubs.

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Luis Patino left his Monday start against the Oakland A's with a left oblique injury. Patino got just two outs in the game while allowing one run before departing early.

Blake Snell May Not Land On IL

San Diego Padres left-hander Blake Snell (groin) is planning to play catch on Tuesday and throw his scheduled bullpen session on Wednesday.
