The Los Angeles Dodgers lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks, 6-1, on Saturday night, and fell to 77-59 on the year. LA is now just one game ahead of the San Diego Padres in the NL West.
In other news, while the Dodgers are awaiting the return of All-Star Max Muncy, he has suffered an unfortunate setback on his road to recovery. The slugger’s setback isn’t related to his current oblique injury as his return date to the team is at risk of being pushed back.
Additionally, manager Dave Roberts made his intentions known about where he wants to play Mookie Betts for the rest of the season. The superstar shortstop has received no shortage of scrutiny from the baseball world amid his position change and the Dodgers’ lack of depth in the outfield.
Finally, Roberts claimed that the reason for the Dodgers’ offensive slumping was a lack of focus. The skipper also found a correlation between the tight divisional race with the Padres and increased production on offense amid the recent skid.
