Mookie Betts will play at shortstop when he returns to play

The Los Angeles Dodgers have a record of nine wins against nine losses so far, which puts them second in the National League West Division, two games behind the surprising Arizona Diamondbacks.

One of the reasons for this erratic start to the season is certainly the inaction of the general staff during the off-season. But this is not the only explanation, the injuries coming to haunt the Californian formation since the beginning of this campaign.

To overcome certain infield shortcomings, among others due to the loss of Gavin Lux for the entire 2023 season and the uncertain status of Miguel Rojas, outfielder Mookie Betts will play at shortstop if he returns today (Wednesday), according to manager Dave Roberts.

It looks extremely natural. The guy can play anywhere on a baseball field. I think there were reservations about him playing second base last year and he quickly put them to rest.

Betts was placed on the paternity list yesterday (Tuesday), but will likely be back in the lineup against the New York Mets this afternoon.

It will be Betts’ first career start at shortstop, having already started 13 professional games at the minors position.

However, the outfielder has always done the same type of drills that other infielders do with infield coach Dino Ebel. He is therefore ready to take up this new challenge.

Another string will thus be added to the star player’s already full bow.
