Mookie Betts May Play Shortstop Wednesday
2 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that second baseman/outfielder Mookie Betts (paternity list) may start at shortstop when he returns from the paternity list on Wednesday. The Dodgers have been struggling as a whole and both Chris Taylor (side) and Miguel Rojas (torso) are dealing with injuries, so Roberts may have to get creative with a solution. Betts has seen time at second and outfield this season, so it does not seem far-fetched to have him fill in at short. The 30-year-old has gotten off to a decent start, slashing .266/.390/.453 with two home runs, six RBI, and no stolen bases. While that is not quite what fantasy managers had hoped for, the potential multi-position eligibility certainly helps.
