Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Mookie Betts (ankle) remains absent from Sunday's lineup versus the Cincinnati Reds. The 30-year-old was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to ankle soreness, but this doesn't appear to be a significant setback at this time. The Dodgers are off on Monday, so perhaps they're simply playing things safe with the superstar. Betts should be labeled as day-to-day and fantasy managers can hope he returns for the start of a three-game series with the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday. David Peralta is leading off and watching left field on Sunday.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (ankle) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. It appears the 30-year-old is dealing with right ankle soreness. This sounds like a minor injury and the Dodgers are just holding him out as a precaution. In his absence, Jason Heyward will cover right field, while David Peralta plays left field versus right-hander Luke Weaver. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with Betts out.

In 2018, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts was the American League MVP, slashing .346/.438/.640 and winning a World Series with the Boston Red Sox. With the Dodgers this season, he is batting .285/.385/.587 and has set a franchise record with 10 leadoff home runs. Betts' defensive contributions at shortstop and second base are keeping him in the MVP conversation. His infield contributions can't be ignored, with just three defensive errors on the season. While he is still behind Ronald Acuna Jr., and competing against his teammate, Freddie Freeman, for this year's MVP award, his defensive versatility is keeping him in the conversation.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Mookie Betts went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and two runs scored in a 5-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday. Betts drew another start at shortstop in this contest and did his usual, productive thing. He doubled off Johan Oviedo in the first inning and came around to score on a Freddie Freeman home run in the same inning. He would pick up another double in the seventh inning where Freeman would drive him in again with a single. The 30-year-old is now slashing a rock-solid .271/.373/.557 with 23 home runs, 57 RBI, and seven stolen bases over 325 at-bats on the year. He'll be starting in the outfield for the National League in next week's All-Star game in Seattle.

Now that Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts has officially been named to the National League All-Star team this year, he has formally committed to take part in this year's Home Run Derby. This will be Betts' first time participating in the event during All-Star week, which will be held in Seattle in 2023. Although he's not typically thought of as a home run hitter, Betts could definitely surprise some folks in this event if he's able to get on a roll. The 30-year-old has mixed in occasionally at middle infield for the Dodgers this year, and he's currently hitting .255 (76-for-298) with 20 home runs, 15 doubles, a triple, 50 RBI, seven stolen bases and 58 runs scored in 76 games. The seven-time All-Star is one of the best overall fantasy assets in the game.

He tacked on a second RBI in the second inning of the ball game with a sacrifice fly to score James Outman. While the batting average is a bit lower than what we've come to expect from Betts, his counting stats and OPS are excellent.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts will switch positions for Tuesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Normally, Betts is in the outfield, but will make the move to shortstop for Tuesday's contest. This marks the ninth time this season that Betts has played shortstop. The Dodgers have been moving Betts into the infield more frequently this season. The injury bug has taken out some of their infield depth, so Betts has been asked to cover second base and shortstop more often, but he continues to do well. He'll bat leadoff and play shortstop versus right-hander Lance Lynn on Tuesday.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts is normally in the outfield, but will shift into the infield for Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. The Dodgers are giving Miguel Vargas a rest day, so Betts will cover his spot at second base here. The 30-year-old has played sparingly at second base throughout his MLB career. However, the Dodgers have increased his infield appearances this season. Betts will make his 13th appearance of the season at second base on Saturday. He has blasted four home runs over his last two games, so fantasy managers should make sure to have Betts in there for this game.

Los Angeles Dodgers superstar outfielder Mookie Betts hit two home runs in Wednesday's 10-6 loss to the Washington Nationals. Betts went 2-for-5 at the plate, with both of his homers being solo shots. Despite an impressive day at the plate for Betts, the Dodgers' offense fell short and was capped at just six runs.

The veteran All-Star is batting just .148 with a .657 OPS over his last seven games but has gone deep twice in that span. Overall, he's slashing .246/.348/.471 with seven home runs, 21 RBI, and a stolen base over 138 at-bats.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts is getting the start at the keystone and is hitting in his usual leadoff spot on Thursday against right-hander Mitch Keller and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Jason Heyward will get the start in right field and is hitting third in the batting order. Along with seeing some time at second base now, Betts is also playing right field and seeing occasional starts at shortstop. Adding positional eligibility for one of baseball's best players is just a cherry on top for Betts' fantasy managers. The 30-year-old has been a slight disappointment at the plate so far, hitting .241 (21-for-87) with three home runs and 10 RBI in 23 games, but he's a must-start in all single-year fantasy formats.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts has been playing in the outfield throughout a majority of his career. However, Betts does have infield experience and played second base for the first time on Thursday. The Dodgers desperately need help at shortstop right now with Chris Taylor (side) and Miguel Rojas (hamstring) both injured. That being said, it's possible that Betts moves over to shortstop on Saturday, according to manager Dave Roberts. It would probably only be for a few games until the Dodgers get healthy. Luke Williams is playing shortstop on Friday versus the Chicago Cubs.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder/second baseman Mookie Betts is back in the starting lineup on Friday against the Chicago Cubs and left-hander Drew Smyly after missing two games while on the paternity list this week. Betts is back in right field and is hitting in his usual leadoff spot for the Blue. The 30-year-old was activated from the paternity list Thursday night and entered the game at shortstop with both Chris Taylor (side) and Miguel Rojas (hamstring) injured, but he'll be back in right field on Friday. There's a chance we'll see Betts at the 6 again, but he's unlikely to see enough time there to gain eligibility at the premium position in fantasy leagues. Return the All-Star to your starting lineups this weekend.

The Los Angeles Dodgers activated outfielder Mookie Betts from the paternity list on Thursday, although he did not get the start against the Chicago Cubs. The Dodgers also recalled right-hander Andre Jackson, optioned infielder Yonny Hernandez and placed right-hander Evan Phillips on the paternity list. Betts missed the last two games, but he entered the game on Thursday at shortstop for the first time in his career and went 1-for-2 at the plate. Both Chris Taylor (side) and Miguel Rojas (hamstring) are injured, so Betts could see more time at the 6 in the near future. Luke Williams, who started at shortstop on Thursday, is the team's only other option at the position. Regardless of where Betts is playing, he should be in all starting fantasy lineups when he returns to the lineup on Friday in Chicago.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder/second baseman Mookie Betts, who is on the paternity list this week, remains out of the team's starting lineup on Thursday against the Chicago Cubs. Fantasy managers should expect him to return to the team's lineup on Friday, possibly at shortstop with Miguel Rojas (hamstring) now on the injured list. Betts is hitting .266 (17-for-64) with six doubles, two home runs, six RBI and 13 runs scored in his first 17 games and is a must-start when he returns to the field. Luke Williams will handle the 6 on Thursday and hit eighth in the order against Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon, while James Outman starts in right field and hits leadoff. Outman has been hot at the plate and should continue to be a popular DFS play.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that second baseman/outfielder Mookie Betts (paternity list) may start at shortstop when he returns from the paternity list on Wednesday. The Dodgers have been struggling as a whole and both Chris Taylor (side) and Miguel Rojas (torso) are dealing with injuries, so Roberts may have to get creative with a solution. Betts has seen time at second and outfield this season, so it does not seem far-fetched to have him fill in at short. The 30-year-old has gotten off to a decent start, slashing .266/.390/.453 with two home runs, six RBI, and no stolen bases. While that is not quite what fantasy managers had hoped for, the potential multi-position eligibility certainly helps.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts has been placed on the paternity leave list on Tuesday. He will be away from the team for at least two days due to the birth of his child. In a corresponding move, the Dodgers have recalled Luke Williams from Triple-A. The 26-year-old will provide some extra outfield depth while Betts is gone. Williams isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the New York Mets.

The 30-year-old started at second base for the Blue for the fourth time already in the early going before moving to right field later in the game. He has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games and has six extra-base hits in that stretch. Betts remains one of the best overall players in baseball, and he's proving it early in the 2023 season. Overall, he's hitting .293 (12-for-41) with four doubles, two home runs, four RBI and 11 runs scored in 11 games. Keep the six-time All-Star in your starting fantasy lineups on a daily basis.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder/second baseman Mookie Betts (ankle) collided with Jason Heyward on a pop-up during Tuesday's 5-2 win against the Colorado Rockies. The former took some time to get up but has since said that he's "fine" after twisting his ankle, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Betts stayed in the game without any issues and shouldn't need any time off. The 30-year-old superstar is having a solid start to the season, slashing .300/.440/.550 with a home run, five runs, and an RBI in six games. Fantasy managers should expect another great season from Betts, who hit .269 with 35 homers and 12 stolen bases in 2022. As the leadoff hitter for a great Dodgers offense, the veteran should have no problem providing value in every category.
