Mookie Betts has Fractured Toe, to Miss Rest of Series Against Yankees
Mookie Betts' (toe) X-rays revealed a fractured left second toe, according to a source, although he's not expected to land on the injured list, and the Dodgers don't think he can make the injury any worse by playing on it. The team's training staff will spend the weekend trying to get the swelling down, and Betts will not play at all in the series against the visiting New York Yankees after sitting out Friday night's win. Manager Dave Roberts hopes Betts will be able to return to the lineup soon. "For me, right now, it's just day-to-day," Roberts said. Betts suffered the injury when he banged his toe against a piece of furniture at his house. Until Betts is able to return, possibly for Monday's series opener against the New York Mets, expect veteran Miguel Rojas to handle shortstop duties for the Blue. Betts got off to a slow start but has been better in May with four home runs, 12 RBI and three steals.
