The Los Angeles Dodgers began their 2025 regular season at the Tokyo Dome without key player Mookie Betts, who is struggling with the impacts of a stomach virus. Despite initial hopes he could play, his condition deteriorated, leading to concerns about potential injuries. With Betts returning to Los Angeles for treatment, the team has turned to Miguel Rojas to fill the shortstop position. His absence raises questions about his readiness for the upcoming Freeway Series and overall season performance.
It just made the most sense for him to get back to a regular routine. That's kind of where we're at and we all support it.
Roberts stated the Dodgers were concerned with potentially risking a soft-tissue injury amid the sudden weight loss and dehydration.
With Betts unavailable for the time being, the Dodgers are turning to Miguel Rojas at shortstop.
Betts hasn't played in a game since March 9, creating uncertainty for the team as they open the season in Japan.
