Mookie Betts to Miss Friday's Game for Personal Matter, Saturday Status Uncertain

Mookie Betts will not play in the Los Angeles Dodgers' Friday night game against the Boston Red Sox and did not travel with the team due to an undisclosed personal matter. Manager Dave Roberts indicated that Betts' status for Saturday's game is uncertain, though he is expected to arrive in Boston around the game's start time. Roberts confirmed that everything is okay with Betts, despite the situation. This absence comes as Betts has been struggling offensively this season, hitting career lows of .238 with 11 homers and 45 RBIs in 94 games, a significant dip for the former American League MVP.
