Mookie Betts still not able to clear important step in recovery process

"I'm able to throw. Running, I feel it, but it's not that bad. I haven't started hitting yet but we're doing med ball throws. We want to get fully comfortable with throwing a med ball and not having any hesitation with that before we start swinging."

"Just because I don't want to start developing bad habits, because I'm scared to swing. But I mean, with all that being said, things are going great. It's just an oblique, and it's going to take time."

"He's moving well. I see him throwing, stretching out a little bit. I'm not sure when he's going to start swinging the bat, but from him, from talking to him, he doesn't feel any symptoms. He's not symptomatic. So that's a good thing."

"The swinging, there's still trying to figure out how he ended up doing it. So the running part of it, he's run, and I've seen that, that looks good."

Mookie Betts remains limited in baseball activities due to a right oblique strain. He can throw and run but has not started swinging a bat. Betts is performing rotational exercises with a medicine ball to prepare for swinging. He aims to avoid developing bad habits during recovery. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts noted no setbacks in Betts' condition, and he is moving well without symptoms. The team is cautious about Betts' return to swinging to ensure he is fully ready and to prevent further injury.
