Wed Sep 1 202109:09Mookie Betts Goes Yard In Victory
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts went 1-for-2 with two runs, two walks and solo home run in Tuesday's victory versus the Atlanta Braves. Betts did a little bit of everything in the contest and looked healthy in the process. The superstar recently returned from a hip injury that his troubled him throughout the season and he has been banged up this season with a number of stints on the injured list. At this point in the season, managers just need Betts to be healthy and active with the playoffs slowly approaching. With the Dodgers deadline acquisition of middle infielder Trea Turner, Betts has moved from the top spot in the order to the No. 3 spot and should see an increased amount of RBI opportunities. For the season, Betts is hitting .272 with 19 home runs, 46 RBI and seven stolen bases.

Tue Aug 17 202119:58Mookie Betts To Resume Baseball Activities Thursday
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (hip) will resume baseball activities on Thursday, according to Juan Toribio of MLB.com. Betts has been on the injured list for almost a week now, as he is dealing with a bone spur in his hip that has been plaguing him all season long. He received a cortisone shot last week, and while it's a good sign for him to begin resuming baseball activities, there's still no timetable for his return to action. Betts had begun to heat up at the plate recently, but he's now landed on the injured list twice since the All-Star break. Managers will hope that he can make a quick return to action, and they'll have to continue to stash him on the injured list.

Fri Aug 13 202119:52Mookie Betts Diagnosed With Bone Spur In Hip
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (hip) has been diagnosed with a bone spur in his hip, according to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register. Betts received a cortisone shot, and while his pain has subsided somewhat, there's still no timetable for his return. The new diagnosis seems to have found the cause of the hip issues that have been plaguing Betts all season long, but manager Dave Roberts said that the cortisone shot is only a short-term solution aimed at getting him back on the field this season. At this point it's unclear when or for how long Betts will be back on the field, and how much of an impact he can still have in fantasy through the rest of the year. Barring any major setbacks, managers are stuck having to ride it out with Betts and hope for the best.

Wed Aug 11 202116:51Mookie Betts Continues To Be Sidelined
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (hip) will miss his third consecutive game with a hip injury on Wednesday versus the Philadelphia Phillies.

Bellinger has been having a weak year at the plate, but has hit in six consecutive games with two homers during that span. More should be known on the status of Betts as the day goes on, but the Dodgers have every reason to be cautious with their star outfielder.

Tue Aug 10 202119:09Mookie Betts Could Be Facing Another IL Stint
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (hip) could be facing another stay on the injured list, according to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register. Manager Dave Roberts said that Betts came in during the off-day on Monday feeling, "just achy, sore. Basically can't play. I don't know what other tests we may do. But to envision an IL (move) happening is very probable." This is disappointing news for managers as Betts had just returned from a stint on the IL at the beginning of the month. Managers should keep an eye out for further updates, but it seems reasonable to anticipate Betts landing on the injured list within the next few days.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (hip) will be sidelined for Sunday's contest versus the Los Angeles Angels.

With Betts sidelined, outfielder Cody Bellinger will take over and bat eighth versus rookie Reid Detmers. Bellinger has been having an awful season at the plate, but did homer on a Saturday. Betts remains day-to-day.

Sat Aug 7 202120:31Mookie Betts Hitting Third On Saturday Night
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (hip) is starting on Saturday night against the Angels, although he is scheduled for a routine day off on Sunday for the series finale. Betts left Friday's matchup against Los Angeles because of right hip discomfort, so seeing him back is good news for the fantasy managers who've been enjoying his recent uptick in production. With Trea Turner (illness) making his team debut after a battle with COVID-19, the veteran will hit third, but it's unknown how that will impact the fantasy outlook of the 28-year-old moving ahead. However, it's unlikely to jeopardize his consistent must-start designation.

Managers will likely have to deal with regular breaks for Betts throughout the remainder of the season, but he'll still be able to provide good value in all formats.

Thu Aug 5 202100:54Mookie Betts Hits Two Homers In Victory

Betts has been hitting the ball very well since returning from the injured list on Sunday and has now hit three homers in his last three games. Betts has also been playing second base and gaining eligibility there would be a huge score for managers. The talented outfielder has dealt with injuries throughout the year, but it looks like he's finally living up to his preseason value. Betts is now hitting .274 with 17 home runs, 43 RBI and seven stolen bases.
