Mookie Betts Could Miss Tokyo Series
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder/infielder Mookie Betts (illness) has been showing fatigue during team practices and could be in danger of missing the Tokyo series. Manager Dave Roberts said, "I think that we're really trying to be mindful of not just Opening Day but not putting him in harm's way." He added, " I just don't think the training staff would feel good about it" when discussing him playing during the Tokyo series. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status but it appears that the coaching staff will lean on the side of caution and keep Betts sidelined for the opening series of the regular season. The 32-year-old has been dealing with this illness before they traveled to Tokyo. In addition, Betts has lost some weight due to the illness. Miguel Rojas will likely cover shortstop if he were to miss this series. Betts should continue to be viewed as a solid pick in the first round of all formats given his five category upside and elite plate discipline.
