Betts, 32, began experiencing flu-like symptoms in the final week of camp and struggled during the team&rsquo;s flight to Japan. Despite attempting light workouts, his condition hasn&rsquo;t improved enough for him to take the field.<\/p><p>Betts was ruled out of the series on Sunday by manager Dave Roberts, who emphasized the team&rsquo;s caution in handling his recovery. The six-time All-Star missed Saturday&rsquo;s exhibition game against the Yomiuri Giants and Sunday&rsquo;s matchup with the Hanshin Tigers. Though he briefly participated in pregame drills, he fatigued quickly and opted out of Monday&rsquo;s scheduled workout.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Mookie Betts gingerly walking off the field after working out pregame.
