However, just 90 minutes before the game, Betts was removed due to persistent illness, leaving only Freddie Freeman, who also missed the Dodgers&rsquo; opening series in Tokyo, in the starting lineup. Miguel Rojas took Betts&rsquo; place at shortstop as the Dodgers cruised to a 7-1 victory.<\/p><p>Betts has <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/mlb-tokyo-series-illness-puts-mookie-betts-availability-in-doubt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>reportedly<\/a> been struggling with severe nausea and an inability to keep down solid food for nearly two weeks.
