Dodgers' Mookie Betts remains out with undiagnosed stomach illness: 'My body's just kind of eating itself'

After missing the Los Angeles Dodgers' two games in Japan against the Chicago Cubs last week, Mookie Betts' status for Thursday's home opener at Dodger Stadium is uncertain as he deals with a stomach illness.

An exact diagnosis of what's affecting Betts, 32, remains unknown and the Dodgers star has lost nearly 20 pounds since he began feeling ill days before the team left for Tokyo. It was looking like he was going to see action at shortstop on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels, but he began vomiting again hours before the game.
