Story

Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts suffered a left hand fracture after being hit by a pitch in the seventh inning of Sunday’s game against the Royals. Betts won't need surgery and there is no timetable for his return. Betts was hit in the left wrist by a 97.9-mph fastball from Royals reliever Dan Altavilla. Despite taking two of three from the Royals, it was a tough weekend for the Dodgers, who are 44-29 and have an eight-game lead over San Diego in the NL West. This will be Betts’ first stint on the injured list in two years.
