Dodgers Lineup vs Red Sox: Mookie Betts Out For Personal Reasons, Miguel Rojas Starting

The Los Angeles Dodgers begin their series against the Boston Red Sox Friday night at Fenway Park.

The Dodgers lineup will face Red Sox right-handed pitcher Brayan Bello, who is sporting a 3.23 ERA with 74 strikeouts this season.

On Wednesday, manager Dave Roberts revealed Mookie Betts could miss Friday’s series opener against his former team due to personal reasons. It appears that will be the case as Betts is not in the Dodgers lineup.

In Betts’ place, the Dodgers have penciled in Miguel Rojas as the starting shortstop.
