The Dodgers have unexpectedly struggled offensively in April, with key players like Max Muncy and Miguel Rojas batting under .200. Injuries to Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Teoscar Hernandez have exacerbated their run production woes. Betts, who lost weight due to a stomach illness, has returned to full health but acknowledged the team's hitting challenges. He emphasized that instead of forcing improvements, players should relax and let their natural abilities shine. The article highlights these struggles and Betts' insights on overcoming them as the season progresses.
