Together they’ve sought out “the little wins,” Betts said. Like Wednesday, when Marte again chopped a ball in Muncy’s direction. The third baseman had a good first step toward the ball and attacked it, using the same finishing motion that Betts had repeated behind him earlier that afternoon. Muncy fielded it cleanly and got the out.

Dodgers’ manager, Dave Roberts, issued a discouraging statement on Betts’ fractured toe. When asked about Betts, Roberts said this injury could linger for “quite some time.” The Dodgers’ skipper went on to say this when discussing a possible timeline:

Mookie Betts was back in the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup against the New York Mets on Tuesday night and he played again Wednesday after missing four games due to a fractured fourth toe on his left foot.
