Mookie Betts Day-to-Day With Broken Toe

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts fractured the fourth toe on his left foot by stubbing it on a wall during a nighttime trip to the bathroom at home, and X-rays confirmed the injury. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has described Betts as day-to-day, stating there are no plans to place him on the injured list, and Betts could return as soon as next week. Betts is currently unable to start due to pain but is available for pinch-hitting if needed, and Miguel Rojas will fill in at shortstop during his absence. The Dodgers have already dealt with another unusual bathroom-related injury this season when Freddie Freeman missed nine games after slipping in the shower. Despite these setbacks, the Dodgers defeated the Yankees 8-5 in the series opener and remain optimistic about Betts's swift recovery. Betts has contributed a .254 average, eight home runs, and 31 RBIs this season.
