Mookie Betts went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and a walk against the Marlins on Saturday.

Betts put the first run on the board in the first inning, taking Tyler Phillips deep for a solo homer. He later drew a walk and stole a base in the sixth. The 33-year-old outfielder is hitting .248/.313/.432 with 20 homers, 63 runs scored, and 61 RBI across 470 plate appearances.

LAD Shortstop #50

Mookie Betts finished 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and three runs scored Wednesday in the Dodgers’ 14-1 rout of the Reds.

Betts has three homers in seven games and is now just one away from getting to 20 and matching last year’s total despite spending five weeks on the IL early on. He’s 12-for-32 with 13 RBI and six walks in eight games this month.
Mookie Betts

LAD Shortstop #50

Mookie Betts went 2-for-3 with four RBI and two walks against the Cardinals on Tuesday.

With the bases loaded in the third inning, Betts put the Dodgers on the board with a bases-clearing double. He doubled again in the fifth to collect his fourth RBI before drawing a pair of walks. The 33-year-old outfielder is slashing .242/.304/.411 with 16 homers, 52 runs scored, and 51 RBI across 428 plate appearances.
Mookie Betts

LAD Shortstop #50

Mookie Betts went 2-for-4 with a double as the Dodgers were shut out by Chris Sale and the Braves on Thursday evening in Atlanta.

Betts smacked a two-out single off of Sale in the opening inning and was left stranded at first base. He then led off the fourth inning with a double — the Dodgers’ only extra-base hit in the contest — but he never advanced from there. With his two-hit attack, the 33-year-old infielder is now slashing .239/.298/.407 with 16 homers, 47 RBI and just one stolen base (in three attempts) on the season.
Mookie Betts

LAD Shortstop #50

With Andy Pages on the IL, Mookie Betts has been moved up to third in the Dodgers lineup Saturday.

Pages had been alternating between hitting second and third of late. Betts, who had mostly been batting fifth recently, has reached six times in his last two games, but that still leaves him with just a .295 OBP on the season. Eventually, it might be Will Smith hitting third to help break up the lefties.
Mookie Betts

LAD Shortstop #50

Mookie Betts went 3-for-5 and hit his 16th homer Wednesday as the Dodgers topped the Rockies 6-4 in 10 innings.

Betts singled in the second run of the 10th after Freddie Freeman singled to knock in the automatic runner. The three-hit game was Betts’ 10th of the year. He’s batting .237/.291/.412 through 91 games.

LAD Shortstop #50

Mookie Betts is not in the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Thursday night’s battle against the Brewers.

It looks to be nothing more than a routine night off for the dynamic 33-year-old infielder. Miguel Rojas will start in his place at shortstop and will bat sixth for the Dodgers against Brewers’ left-hander Shane Drohan on Thursday evening in Los Angeles.

LAD Shortstop #50

Mookie Betts went 2-for-3 with a homer in a victory for the Dodgers over the Royals on Wednesday.

Betts went deep in the second inning to put the Dodgers on the board and give the 33-year-old his 15th homer of the 2026 campaign. The power drought seems to be over for Betts, as he’s homered in back-to-back games after not hitting one July 21 and August 10.
Mookie Betts

LAD Shortstop #50

Mookie Betts went 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and two RBI to lead the Dodgers to a 5-4 win over the Royals on Tuesday.

Betts put the Dodgers on the board with a solo homer off Michael Wacha in the second inning. He later doubled in the seventh and scored before driving in the game-tying run in the bottom of the eighth with a base hit. The 33-year-old outfielder is hitting .235/.291/.406 with 14 homers, 46 runs scored, and 38 RBI across 350 plate appearances.
Kyle Tucker

LAD Right Fielder #23

Kyle Tucker is in right field and hitting cleanup against the Royals on Tuesday.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is shaking things up by moving Freddie Freeman up to the second spot in the order with Andy Pages following and Tucker in the cleanup spot. Max Muncy and Mookie Betts remain in the middle of the lineup with Teoscar Hernández on the bench.

Freddie Freeman will take a seat on Monday, manager Dave Roberts said.

Freeman has started the last two games after sitting with knee soreness Friday, but he hasn’t been himself. Hopefully, it’ll just be one day off. The Dodgers have a very kind schedule with four games in Cincinnati and three at home versus the Giants this week, so it’d be a shame to have to sit Freeman in fantasy leagues. Kiké Hernández will likely start in his place tomorrow.

Burke was lit up for seven runs in 1 1/3 innings last time out, so the White Sox will try something a little different. It’ll be Burke’s first time pitching behind an opener since June 18.

Steven Kwan went 3-for-5 with a leadoff homer, an RBI double and a walk in the Guardians’ 9-2 win over the Twins on Sunday.

Kwan started the game with a 357-footer to right that was a homer in 15 ballparks and probably a double in the rest. It was just his third homer of the year, but he’s been very productive the last couple of months, hitting .356/.438/.411 with 38 runs scored in 51 games since the break. He scored a total of 37 runs in 89 games during the first half.

Tanner Bibee pitched two-run ball for 6 2/3 innings in defeating the Twins on Sunday.

Bibee struck out seven and generated 16 whiffs on his way to improving to 6-15 on the season. He looks like a nice play in mixed leagues with a home start against the A’s on deck for next weekend.

Joe Ryan surrendered four runs and seven hits in four innings Sunday against the Guardians.

Ryan gave up a pair of homers and struck out just one in his second start back from the injured list. He also lost the previous one, and he’s now 6-10 with a 3.84 ERA overall. One wonders if he might be looking at a shutdown with the Twins all but out of the playoff hunt. He’s lined up to face the Angels next weekend.

The homer was his 12th through 112 games, and the steal was his 19th. Bazzana has been hitting well of late, but he had been stuck on 18 steals since Aug. 21, going 0-for-1 in his previous 16 games.

Jo Adell homered and doubled to knock in two runs Sunday versus the Twins.

Adell’s homer off Joe Ryan was absolutely crushed, leaving his bat at 116.8 mph and traveling a projected 451 feet. It’s the second hardest he’s ever hit a ball, trailing a 117.2-mph homer off Drew Smyly in 2023, and it’s the third hardest-hit home run of the year, coming in behind only a pair of blasts from Oneil Cruz.

Walker Jenkins went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Sunday versus the Guardians.

Jenkins is just 4-for-41 as a major leaguer. He did make good contact the one time he put a ball into play today, hitting a ball 100.4 mph to center, but it was still an easy play for Steven Kwan. Now that Byron Buxton has been ruled out, Jenkins figures to finish out the season as the Twins’ center fielder. However, in light of his struggles, he probably will do some sitting against left-handers.
