BOSTON -- Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts is expected to return to the team sometime Saturday night after missing a game due to a death in the family, manager Dave Roberts said.
The 32-year-old Betts traveled to his home in Nashville 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.
