Mookie Betts News: Rejoins lineup Sunday

Updated on July 28, 2025 at 6:23am

Betts (personal) is starting at shortstop and batting leadoff Sunday against the Red Sox.

The 32-year-old didn't start the first two games versus Boston due to a personal matter, but he made an appearance as a pinch hitter in Saturday's contest. Betts has gone 3-for-30 over his past eight games, dropping his slash line for the season to .237/.308/.369, all of which would be career worsts.
