Dodgers' Mookie Betts Likely Out vs. Nationals Due to Injury; CT Scan, MRI Negative

The Los Angeles Dodgers are hopeful Mookie Betts' foot injury isn't serious, but they will exercise caution with their superstar outfielder to avoid making the situation worse.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Betts will likely sit out all three games this weekend against the Washington Nationals.

"Mookie is better than he was yesterday," Roberts said before Friday's game. "He's in a tube somewhere in D.C. getting a CT scan. I know we're doing the whole gamut of CT, X-rays yesterday, MRI just to kind of make sure we have all the information. [He's] better today, I just don't see him in there [Saturday] and most likely not in there on Sunday.
