Mookie Betts did not travel with the Dodgers and will not play Friday night when Los Angeles faces the host Boston Red Sox as he deals with a personal matter, manager Dave Roberts told reporters Friday.

Red Sox fans will have to wait to welcome Mookie Betts back to Fenway Park this weekend versus the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Roberts added that Betts was home in Nashville before he planned to join the team back at Fenway Park. Betts won his first World Series title in a year to remember for the Red Sox back in 2018, when Boston defeated the Dodgers in five games. He won American League MVP that season among a slew of individual accolades.
