Mookie Betts slump update: Dodgers star amid struggles, 'It's up to God at this point'
As the Los Angeles Dodgers look to repeat as World Series Champions, the historic franchise will need its star-studded roster to rise to the occasion again this season. Among those stars is Mookie Betts, who has accomplished just about everything the sport of baseball has to offer. The latest hurdle in his career is his season-long slump. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts had briefly benched Betts before moving him to the leadoff spot in the lineup on July 20. Roberts tried switching Betts and Shohei into the first two spots for 11 games, hoping it would create a spark for Betts. 'I've done everything possible,' Betts told reporters on Sunday in Tampa. 'It's just kind of the same result. I'm out of answers. I've done everything I can do. It's up to God at this point.' The manager decided to move Betts back to second in the batting order on Sunday with Ohtani now back to leadoff in the lineup. He would go 0-for-3 and is now 0-for-16 over the last four games. Betts has a .233 batting average this season with 93 hits, 11 home runs and 48 runs batted in. He has a career-low .664 OPS this season. Betts has averaged 142 hits, 94 runs, 24 home runs, and 73 RBI throughout his career. He also has a .290 career batting average and a .881 career OPS. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts recently moved Betts from the leadoff spot to second in the lineup with the hope that it can help make a difference. 'I thought yesterday in a vacuum that he had a good offensive day,' Roberts told reporters before Sunday's game. 'I really did. I thought he had good at-bats. … Other days it looks like he is lost.' Roberts did not completely shy away from the possibility of still moving Betts around in the lineup, but a lot of it may depend on what he sees from Betts going forward and what the rest of the roster looks like in terms of health. Max Muncy is expected to return to the Dodgers' lineup soon and has been playing for the Triple-A Oklahoma City Comets this past weekend. There is a possibility that Betts could continue to shift around in the lineup after Muncy returns. On Betts, Roberts expressed his desire to 'instill my faith in him and confidence in him.' 'I know he is frustrated and obviously at a point now where he wants results, which I can appreciate, but hopefully he can build off the at-bats quality from yesterday,' Roberts added. Betts continues to work closely with his hitting coaches to refine his mechanics at the plate, but the Dodgers manager believes that there may be a mental aspect contributing to the slump. Off the field, it has been just as tough a season for Betts. Before the start of the season, Betts was dealing with an undiagnosed illness that caused him to lose approximately 18 pounds in a two-week span and he was throwing up every time he had solid foods. He did undergo necessary blood work and vital tests, but everything came back normal. Betts recently spent a few days away from the Dodgers to be with his family, located in Nashville. 'My stepdad passed, so I had to go home,' Betts told reporters on July 27. '(He's) been there in my life from fourth grade until now, so that was tough for me and the family. 'I just had to be there for my mom and my brothers and sisters. It's just a tough time and there's no real way to really explain something like that outside of just being there and spending time with the family.' When will Mookie Betts and the Dodgers play next? Betts and the Dodgers will play six games at home this week. The St. Louis Cardinals will start a three-game series with the Dodgers on Monday, Aug. 4 at 10:10 p.m. ET. The Toronto Blue Jays will visit Dodger Stadium for a three-game series starting Friday, Aug. 8.

Braves lose third baseman Austin Riley to IL for 2nd time in 2 months with abdominal strain
ATLANTA — Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley was placed on the 10-day injured list for the second time in two months with a strained lower abdominal muscle on Monday. Riley suffered the injury while tagging out Cincinnati's Elly De La Cruz near home plate in the Braves' 4-2 win on Sunday in the rain-delayed MLB Speedway Classic at Bristol Motor Speedway. Riley also landed on the IL on July 12 with a strained abdomen. He returned on July 25. The Braves recalled infielders Nacho Alvarez Jr. and Jonathan Ornelas from Triple-A Gwinnett before opening a home series against Milwaukee on Monday night. The team optioned outfielder Jarred Kelenic to Gwinnett following Sunday's game. Riley is hitting .260 with 16 homers and 54 RBI.

Phillies' Kyle Schwarber Projected to Break Bank With Free Agent Contract
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Kyle Schwarber has become indispensable for the Philadelphia Phillies, and that's something that will weigh heavy on the team's mind this winter. After one more push for the Phillies' first World Series title since 2008, Schwarber is set to hit free agency. After landing a four-year, $79 million deal from Philadelphia before the 2022 season, he looks poised to do far better this time around. With 169 homers in a Phillies uniform (second-most in baseball behind Aaron Judge since 2022), Schwarber is such a power threat that even as a primary designated hitter approaching his mid-thirties, he should command a nine-figure deal.

The Phillies defeated the Yankees 12-5. (Photo by) More McIsaac/Getty How far into the hundreds of millions will Schwarber push? And more importantly, will it be the Phillies to give him his well-earned contract? On Monday, Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller predicted that Philadelphia would indeed step up, projecting a four-year, $140 million contract for Schwarber to remain a Phillie through 2029. "Bryce Harper has been quite vocal in his opinion that the Phillies should re-sign Schwarber this offseason. Do they have room in the budget, though? While simultaneously trying to deal with the impending losses of JT Realmuto and Ranger Suárez?" asked Miller. "As vitally important as he has been to their cause this season, they almost have to find a way. Maybe they borrow a page from the Dodgers' deferrals playbook to get it done, but there should be many more Schwarbombs in Citizens Bank Park for what's left of the 2020s." Schwarber has been the Phillies' best hitter this season, posting a .957 OPS while leading the National League in home runs with 38 and all of Major League Baseball in RBI with 88. That's the type of production you can't replace, and it would be surprising to see the Phillies let it slip from their grasp.
