The National League MVP candidate fouled a ball off his left foot during Thursday’s game in Miami and is not expected to return to the lineup before Monday at the earliest.
WASHINGTON — Mookie Betts left LoanDepot Park in Miami on crutches Thursday night and struggled onto the team plane. He spent the day Friday trying to find out just how bad things might be.
“Mookie is better than he was yesterday,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “I think we’re doing the whole gamut of CT, X-rays yesterday, MRI, just to kind of make sure we have all the information.” Betts leads the National League in on-base percentage and slugging percentage , and ranks third in RBIs , fourth in home runs and fifth in batting average . He hit .455 with 11 homers and 30 RBIs in August.The Dodgers activated designated hitter J.D. Martinez from the injured list on Friday and optioned infielder Michael Busch to Triple-A Oklahoma City. In his first big-league at-bat since Aug. 19, Martinez hit a two-run home run.
Right-hander Michael Grove allowed two runs on three hits while striking out the side in one inning on a rehab assignment with OKC on Thursday. He is expected to continue his assignment with OKC.
