Mookie Betts is sick. The Los Angeles Dodgers star traveled with the team for their season-opening series in Tokyo, but did not play because of a mystery illness and things have not improved since he returned to the states.
Betts spoke with the media on Sunday and revealed some jarring details about his situation. Betts, who is listed at 180 pounds, says that he was 175 and is now down to 157 and he's sounds miserable. Via Yahoo!:
Betts said he felt fine on Sunday morning and showed up at the park for the team's spring training game against the Angels, but had to throw up a few hours later. He's trying to give it a go, but no one knows what's happening with him.
Betts hopes to be in the starting lineup on Thursday for opening day, but who knows?
