Mookie Betts' Stomach Illness Leaves Dodgers' Lineup in Flux

The Dodgers star continues to battle an undiagnosed illness causing severe weight loss, casting doubt on his availability for Thursday's home opener.

Mookie Betts has lost up to 25 pounds due to an undiagnosed stomach illness that prevents him from eating solid food.
Despite undergoing medical tests and starting new medication, Betts' symptoms, including persistent vomiting, remain unresolved.
The Dodgers are considering Miguel Rojas as a potential shortstop replacement if Betts is unavailable for the home opener against the Detroit Tigers.
Betts has expressed frustration with the prolonged illness but remains eager to return to the field when his health stabilizes.
Manager Dave Roberts has stated that while Betts' long-term health is not a concern, his short-term availability is uncertain.
