Mookie Betts Out Of Monday's Lineup
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts (illness) remains out of the team's lineup for Monday's exhibition contest against the crosstown-rival Los Angeles Angels. Veteran Miguel Rojas is at the 6 and will bat eighth for the Blue. Betts came down with an illness shortly before the Dodgers left for Tokyo, Japan, for a two-game series against the Chicago Cubs that was played last Tuesday and Wednesday. The 32-year-old didn't play in either game against Chicago and has reportedly lost almost 20 pounds while being unable to keep food down. There's no word on whether he'll be in the team's Opening Day lineup this Thursday against the visiting Detroit Tigers, but fantasy managers should at least be a little concerned about Betts' health for the start of the season. Rojas should continue to fill in at short, but if this turns into a long-term absence, Tommy Edman would be an option to see playing time in the infield as well.
