Dodgers receive encouraging update on Mookie Betts recovery

After being hit on the left hand by a 97.3-mph heater from Dan Altavilla in the seventh inning, Mookie Betts continued to make strides on his fractured left hand.

The shortstop is reportedly close to live batting practice. He has started to swing his bat and has also hit some balls off the tee.

“I’ve gotten to swing a little bit, hitting the little rubber balls and then eventually move into some tennis balls, then baseballs and whatnot,” Betts told reporter Kirsten Watson.

“So just want to make sure every swing I take, the hand is okay. There’s no vibration or anything that’s gonna slow the healing process down.”

According to manager Dave Roberts, Mookie Betts' left hand continues to get “stronger.” but reserved his comments on being asked about the timeline of his return.

Initially, it was expected that the leadoff hitter would return in 6–8 weeks. However, the recovery started slow but has picked up pace of late. In his absence, the Dodgers have done well (19-15 since June 16). His early return would boost the franchise's second-half campaign.

Moreover, before getting injured, Betts batted .304 with 10 homers and 40 RBI in 72 games.
