Dodgers Make Unexpected Mookie Betts Decision After One Missed Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Shortstop Mookie Betts is in his sixth season with the Los Angeles Dodgers, having spent the first six years of his career with the Boston Red Sox before being traded to Los Angeles in 2020.

Betts, an eight-time All-Star who has won three World Series, was left off the NL All-Star team this year as he's struggling through his worst season as a professional. Betts started the season dealing with a mystery illness and then fractured a toe going to the bathroom.

Betts didn't play Saturday and the Dodgers hope putting him at the top of the order will help the struggling shortstop get back on track.
