Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts is expected to return to the team sometime Saturday night after missing a game due to a death in the family, manager Dave Roberts said.

The Los Angeles Dodgers missed Mookie Betts in their series opener against the Boston Red Sox, and he won't play in Saturday's game either.

Roberts added that Betts was home in Nashville before he planned to join the team back at Fenway Park. Betts won his first World Series title in a year to remember for the Red Sox back in 2018, when Boston defeated the Dodgers in five games. He won American League MVP that season among a slew of individual accolades.
