Mookie Betts Loses 25 Pounds to Mystery Illness, Faces Season Uncertainty

Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts is sidelined by a disturbing mystery illness that has resulted in a significant weight loss of 25 pounds due to persistent vomiting and an inability to eat. Betts reported that the issue began nearly two weeks ago and has left him feeling drained and scared to eat, as every attempt to fuel his body results in vomiting. Despite undergoing tests that returned normal vitals, he remains without a clear diagnosis and is currently on medication while preparing for further examination. Betts expressed his frustration, stating, 'I'm tired of sitting, tired of throwing up,' while also maintaining his desire to return to the field. As he continues to work out, the Dodgers are monitoring his condition closely as they face potential challenges without their star player. With the season opening approaching, Betts is eager to play but acknowledges he might start at a disadvantage physically.
