The Dodgers star outfielder is sidelined due to a cracked right rib. It his his third stint on the IL the past two seasons.
"It's sore but it is what it is," Betts said Sunday before the Dodgers faced the Cleveland Guardians."I thought it was a little bruise or something and played through it. It got worse over the next couple days and now we're sitting here."
"With the crowd and both of us yelling I didn't hear him ," Betts said about the play."You don't want to take your eye off the ball,. It shouldn't have happened but it was one of those plays where we both could have caught it. It would have been worse if no one caught it and it dropped." Betts said he didn't think he further aggravated the injury when he made a leaping dive on a line drive by Shohei Ohtani in the ninth inning to try and preserve Tyler Anderson's no-hitter. Betts wasn't able to get to it in time and it resulted in a double.
