Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts provided more insight into the injury superstar Mookie Betts is dealing with. Betts has a small fracture at the tip of his fourth toe on his left foot.
Betts sustained the injury at home earlier in the week, after the Dodgers returned from a road trip on Wednesday night.
“I was just going to the bathroom in the dark and hit my toe on a wall,” Betts told The Los Angeles Times.
However, Roberts does not believe Betts will require a stint on the injured list, but the 32-year-old is considered “day to day.”
Betts will not be available for this weekend’s three-game series against the New York Yankees. The Dodgers gave veteran Miguel Rojas the start at shortstop during Friday’s 8-5 comeback victory for the opening game of the Fall Classic rematch.
On Saturday, infielder Hyeseong Kim will start at shortstop in place of Betts. Kim is hitting .366 with five runs batted and an OPS of .859 across 41 at-bats.
