LOS ANGELES (AP) — All-Star Mookie Betts was scratched from the Los Angeles Dodgers’ lineup with right ankle soreness on Saturday night.

He injured his ankle while trying to back out of an inside pitch from Alexis Diaz in the eighth inning of Friday’s loss to the Cincinnati Reds.

Manager Dave Roberts said Betts is day-to-day with minor swelling and soreness.
