""Mookie will not go to right field," Roberts said to Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times."
""When you're talking about shortstop play, you're looking for consistency, and I've just loved the consistency," Roberts said. "He's made every play he's supposed to make, and then the last couple weeks, he's made spectacular plays. He's been a big part of preventing runs.""
The Dodgers' outfield defense has faced scrutiny, with Teoscar Hernández ranking in the second percentile for Outs Above Average and Michael Conforto struggling offensively. Calls arose to move Mookie Betts back to right field, but Manager Dave Roberts stated Betts will stay at shortstop. Betts ranks in the 88th percentile for Outs Above Average at shortstop and has shown consistent, spectacular plays that help prevent runs. Betts endured early-season setbacks including illness, a broken toe, and a family loss, but his August form shows improvement, batting .278 with a .750 OPS.
