Mookie Betts, the superstar outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers, disclosed that he was removed from Sunday's lineup due to ongoing health issues, specifically vomiting. This illness has already resulted in a 15-pound weight loss and forced him to return early from the Tokyo Series. Despite some recovery progress and new medication, Betts can only manage smoothies as he struggles to digest solid food. His readiness for the upcoming home opener against the Detroit Tigers remains uncertain, highlighting concerns for the team's upcoming season performance.
Betts: "So looks like I'm just going to be light for a little bit. Maybe I play uphill a little bit for the beginning of the season. But I just want to play, man. I'm tired of sitting, tired of just throwing up, tired of doing all this. I just really just want to play."
The Dodgers superstar reportedly lost nearly 15 pounds, and was sent home early from the team's trip to Japan because of the illness.
Betts has started new medication to help his stomach irritation. There is no guarantee he will be ready for the Dodgers' home opener against the Detroit Tigers.
