Los Angeles Dodgers’ Mookie Betts’ status for their home opener is in question as he continues to deal with an illness that kept him out of the Tokyo Series.
Mookie Betts was unable to play in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ first two games of the regular season in Tokyo last week due to an illness — and he still may not be able to suit up this week.
The Dodgers swept the two-game set overseas against the Chicago Cubs, despite Betts missing both games and even Freddie Freeman missing action.
It was revealed that Betts was dealing with some sort of stomach bug, and he hasn’t been able to keep solid food down for nearly two weeks, forcing him to lose 25 pounds.
« You weigh yourself and you weigh 150 pounds. Before I left spring, I was 175 (pounds). It’s hard to just not eat. . My body is just kind of eating itself. Literally every time I fuel my body, I throw up, and I don’t know what to do about it.
