Mookie Betts not with Dodgers to start road trip
Briefly

Mookie Betts is out of the Dodgers lineup for personal reasons as they begin a road trip against the Red Sox. Manager Dave Roberts indicated that Betts is dealing with personal matters but reassured that everything is okay. There is uncertainty regarding Betts' exact return date, though he is expected back for Saturday's game. Betts has been in a prolonged slump this season, and the Dodgers are adjusting their lineup in response to his absence.
"I know there's some things going on personally for him, so I've got to talk to him. We'll see if he's going to be there for the Friday game."
"There might be some things going on that he might not be around, that he's got to deal with personally. But everything is OK with him, so we'll see."
