Dodgers seek stronger performance from Mookie Betts this season

The Los Angeles Dodgers, enjoying a 5.5-game lead in their division, are looking for improved performances from Mookie Betts. After dealing with a right oblique strain that sidelined him for a month, Betts returned on May 11 but has struggled to regain his form. His current stats for the 2026 season include a.194 batting average, six home runs, and 16 RBIs over 25 games played. Betts has shown signs of improvement recently, including a three-hit game and two home runs in a single week, but the team needs him to produce consistently, especially after dropping him to the cleanup spot in the lineup.
