Mookie Betts is going through unquestionably the roughest stretch of his career.
The beginning of the season started off as poorly as it could’ve for the Los Angeles Dodgers star player. When in Japan for the two-game series versus the Chicago Cubs this past March, Betts was sent home after getting sick with some sort of stomach illness. Aside from being immensely dehydrated, Betts, already a slim person to begin with, reportedly lost upwards of 20 pounds during this physical ordeal.
He lost precious time working out with the team when ramping up for the season to begin.
