MLB: Caution in LA! Mookie Betts is pulled from the lineup vs. Giants

The right fielder of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Mookie Betts, was eliminated from the lineup today Monday with inflammation of the right hip. It’s the same injury that forced Betts out of Saturday’s game in the seventh inning. Betts said the injury has been something he has been struggling with all season.

It is not yet clear when he will play again. Matt beaty replaced Betts for the first game of the series today against the San Francisco Giants at Dodgers Stadium:

The former Boston Red Sox outfielder is hitting .271 this season with 14 home runs and 40 RBIs in 81 games. He has scored 63 runs, has 85 hits and has stolen seven pads.

So when does this happen to Mookie, when the Dodgers are just one game behind the Giants and they’re looking to catch up. In addition, LA has a four-game lead over the San Diego Padres, third-place in the NL West.

I am fond of the King of Sports, especially the Boston Red Sox in MLB and in general all of Mexican baseball. This profession has given me the opportunity to cover major events such as the Caribbean Series, LMB All Star, LMP (uninterrupted since 2009), signings of important players. I had the chance to attend the 2013 World Classic in Arizona, USA, albeit as a fan. Apart from this beautiful sport, I love basketball, where I have also narrated games and even an NBA friendly 10 years ago, but I carry baseball in my veins. Bachelor of Communication Sciences from the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS) , from which I graduated in 2011. I was born in Mazatlán, Sinaloa and started in the world of sports journalism in 2004 in the newspaper El Sol de Mazatlán, where I was a baseball columnist and reporter at the same time. In January 2009 I came to El Debate as a journalist reporter and it was almost six years (in the first stage), until in November 2014 I emigrated to the radio providing my services in Línea Directa-Grupo RSN. My cycle there ended in July 2019 and within days, El Debate gave me another opportunity to work and opened the doors for me again. That is how I came to Al Bat, where I have been since 2019 as a web journalist.
