It can always be out of a few books, but Mookie Betts is apparently better.
The former MVP returned Tuesday in the programming of the Los Angeles Dodgers, playing his usual stop and hit his usual second, only two days after revealing to journalists, he had lost 18 pounds due to an unidentified illness that made him unable to eat solid foods without vomiting.
Betts missed the Tokyo series of the Dodgers series against the Chicago Cubs as well as each spring training match since, but was on the field before and during the match of the Tuesday motorway series against the Los Angeles Angels. He went 0-for-3 without removal to the stick by playing five defense heats. None of his three bullets in play was struck stronger than 81.6 MPH in the bat, by baseball scientist.
More encouraging, he said “I feel good, guys. Awesome. Normal“To journalists when he came from the fields on the ground. It was the second consecutive day of good news, because he also worked on Monday while the manager of the Dodgers Dave Roberts reported that he kept solid foods.
Roberts said before the match on Tuesday that he hoped that Betts would get three bats and four or five defense rounds, then – assuming that everything went well – would be assessed Wednesday while taking light bats. The Dodgers will face the Detroit Tigers on the opening day on Thursday.
When Asked if there were persistent concerns about weight loss and betts dehydrationRoberts said Betts had already regained the weight:
“(Worrying about weight loss) was somehow thought, but he has resumed weight in the last two days, which we feel good about. The force test he did about his strength, where he is, which is a good thing. We have managed the piece of dehydration. We feel good where it is for food for the two days.”
The condition, as Betts described it on Sunday, seems brutal. We still do not know what he has exactly, because the tests of his vital signs and his blood have returned normal, but that has afflicted him since March 11 and made him absolutely miserable during the trip to the Tokyo series. He was a late scratch before the opening of the Dodgers season.
As he said to journalistsHis body just didn’t know what to do with food:
“My body is just eating itself,” he said. “It is difficult not to feed it. And so each time – literally, every time – I was fuel, I vomit. … I don’t know what to do.”
Betts enters its 12th season and is one of the most irreplaceable players of the Dodgers, and not only because of an all-star assessment eight times. For a second consecutive year, he tried a move to the Copstrame, a position that upset the Dodgers since Trea Turner left for the 2022 season.
Without Betts, the Dodgers would be likely to start one of the Tommy Edman, Miguel Rojas or Kiké Hernández short, injuring their relatively shallow depth in the central field and the second goal.
