Mookie Betts Remains at Shortstop Amid Dodgers' Defensive Challenges

AutoDraft Pro AI

Mookie Betts remains the starting shortstop for the Los Angeles Dodgers despite ongoing discussions and recent struggles in the team's outfield defense. Manager Dave Roberts has expressed confidence in Betts's play at shortstop, where he holds a .984 fielding percentage with only six errors. While Betts has discussed a potential return to right field, where he is a six-time Gold Glove winner, and is currently experiencing career-low offensive production at shortstop, Roberts stated there isn't a viable alternative to move him at this time.
