Mookie Betts has been dealing with a bone spur since the beginning of the season that twice required the Los Angeles Dodgers to place him on the 10-day injured list.
The 2018 American League MVP visited with specialists in L.A. to figure out options and ended up receiving a second cortisone injection, which appears to have provided the relief he sought.
Because he is no longer dealing with the pain in his hip, Betts expressed confidence last month that he would finish the season on the field. That’s held true with less than two weeks remaining as Betts ramped up to playing every day.
