BOSTON -- Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts returned to the team Saturday night after missing a game because of a death in the family, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.
Betts, 32, traveled to his home in Nashville, Tennessee, for the day off Thursday and missed Los Angeles' 5-2 victory over his former team, the Boston Red Sox, on Friday night at Fenway Park.
"Mookie is 'wheels up,'" Roberts said, sitting in the Dodgers' dugout about two hours before the scheduled first pitch. "He's on his way here, and I expect him to be at the stadium sometime around, shortly after the first pitch.
