Dave Roberts Says Dodgers Won’t Play Mookie Betts ‘Every Single Day’ Upon Return

Dave Roberts said the Dodgers won’t run Mookie Betts out there every single day when he comes back from the IL. Smart. Betts played in his second rehab game with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday after going 1-for-3 on Friday, and he’s still on track to be activated off the 10-day injured list. I like the cautious approach here — we need Betts healthy for October, not just May. Per staff at DodgerBlue.com, Roberts is planning to be deliberate about managing his workload (and given how important Betts is to this lineup, that’s the right call).
