The Los Angeles Dodgers will face the New York Yankees without star shortstop Mookie Betts, who is sidelined by a toe injury sustained at home. While the Dodgers had an off day before this critical rematch, manager Dave Roberts revealed that Betts experienced too much discomfort to participate in the game. This absence is striking given Betts' recent performance; he had played 53 of the last 56 games, boasting a batting average of .254 and an impressive defensive record since transitioning to shortstop. Veteran Miguel Rojas will step in to fill the gap.
