Mookie Betts Nearing Return, Rehab Assignment Starting Friday
CONFIRMEDMookie Betts is set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, with plans to also be in the lineup Saturday against the Salt Lake Bees (Angels affiliate), per staff at DodgerBlue.com. Dave Roberts indicated earlier this week that Betts was potentially nearing the start of a rehab stint, and now we have dates on the calendar. This is the news we’ve been waiting for — getting Mookie back in our lineup changes the complexion of this roster (and this one bears watching closely over the weekend).
