Mookie Betts Undergoes MRI for Lower Back Pain

Dodgers star Mookie Betts exited Saturday's game against the Nationals in the first inning due to moderate right lower-back pain. The injury occurred while rounding the bases on a Freddie Freeman double. Betts is undergoing an MRI to determine the severity and a potential recovery timeline. At 33 years old, his potential stint on the injured list only eight games into the season has raised concerns regarding the team's overall durability.
