For the second time since the All-Star break, the Los Angeles Dodgers placed Mookie Betts on the 10-day injured list due to right hip inflammation.
Betts hasn’t appeared in a game since Aug. 7. He missed the Freeway Series finale and most recently was scratched from the lineup in last Tuesday’s opener against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Betts’ hip trouble has plagued him for most of the year, and it played a role in his decision to skip this year’s Midsummer Classic. Aside from a cortisone shot last month, the 28-year-old’s primary form of treatment has been rest.
