Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Mookie Betts has been battling more than just fastballs this season — the former MVP has been dealing with a mysterious and undiagnosed illness that led to a dramatic weight loss of 18 pounds in just two weeks. While fans and teammates grew concerned over his sudden absence and visible physical toll, recent updates from the Dodgers clubhouse suggest Betts may finally be on the mend.

The 31-year-old outfielder had reportedly been experiencing severe symptoms for over a week, prompting medical evaluations and tests, though no clear diagnosis was determined. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed the illness during a recent media availability, noting that Betts’ energy levels were severely depleted, and the weight loss raised red flags among the team’s medical staff.

“It was very concerning,” Roberts said. “To lose that much weight in such a short period of time, and not have a clear answer as to why — that’s not something you take lightly. But the good news is, he’s finally turning a corner.”

While Roberts didn’t give a specific timeline for Betts’ return to the starting lineup, he hinted that it could be sooner than later. “He’s getting stronger every day,” he added. “He’s starting to eat normally again, putting some of the weight back on, and you can see the old Mookie coming back.”

Betts, known for his athleticism, discipline, and consistent performance at the plate, is a cornerstone of the Dodgers’ roster. Losing him for any extended period would have been a major blow to Los Angeles, especially as they look to stay dominant in a highly competitive National League West.

Though he hasn’t spoken publicly in detail about the illness, Betts has been seen back at the facility, engaging in light workouts and interacting with teammates. His return, even in limited capacity, has been a morale boost for the club.

Teammates like Freddie Freeman and Shohei Ohtani have expressed relief and excitement at seeing Betts return to form. “We were all worried,” Freeman said. “Mookie’s the kind of guy who doesn’t complain much, so when you see him clearly not himself, you know something serious is going on. It’s great to have him back around — we missed his energy.”

While the Dodgers managed to hold steady in his absence thanks to depth in their lineup, there’s no denying that the team is simply better with Betts in it. His glove, leadership, and ability to change the game with one swing are irreplaceable assets. Prior to his illness, Betts was off to a strong start this season, boasting a .310 batting average and leading the team in on-base percentage.

Medical experts consulted by local media have noted that such rapid weight loss could be due to a variety of viral infections, digestive disorders, or other autoimmune responses. Without an official diagnosis, however, speculation remains just that.

For now, both the team and fans are focused on the silver lining — Betts is improving, and all signs point to a full recovery. As the Dodgers prepare for a tough upcoming stretch of games, having their All-Star back could not come at a better time.
