Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts is currently listed as day-to-day after suffering a stubbed toe on his left foot during an off-the-field incident at home.
Betts was absent from the Dodgers’ lineup on Friday night for the opener of a highly anticipated weekend series against the New York Yankees. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told Alden Gonzalez of ESPN that Betts was scheduled to undergo X-rays at Dodger Stadium before the game. “It’s day-to-day right now,” Roberts said. “So, that’s where we’re at.” (credit: Alden Gonzalez, ESPN)
The injury occurred when Betts stubbed his toe at home on Wednesday night. Roberts mentioned that while Betts might be available to pinch-hit, simply putting on a shoe remains difficult for him.
In Betts’ absence, Miguel Rojas filled in at shortstop. Betts, an eight-time All-Star and three-time World Series Champion, has played 53 games this season, posting a .254 batting average, eight home runs, 31 RBIs, and 42 runs scored.
Despite ongoing injuries to key players, including Betts, the Dodgers maintain a 34-22 record and lead the National League West, aided by strong performances from Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman.
The Dodgers-Yankees matchup, their first since the 2024 World Series in which the Dodgers triumphed, is one of the most anticipated series of the 2025 MLB season, with both teams currently leading their divisions.
