He injured it Wednesday night at home by hitting his toe on furniture. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Betts is day-to-day and won't need the injured list. X-rays on Friday confirmed a small fracture in his fourth toe, making it hard to wear a shoe.

Dodgers face many injuries in 2025 seasonThe Dodgers are dealing with several injuries besides Betts’ toe issue for tonight’s 7:10 p.m. ET game. Pitcher Evan Phillips needs Tommy John surgery and will miss all of 2025 and most of 2026. Other pitchers, including Brusdar Graterol, Blake Treinen, Kirby Yates, and Michael Kopech, are also injured. Starting pitchers Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, and Roki Sasaki have shoulder problems, and Shohei Ohtani won’t pitch until after the All-Star break.
Although the Dodgers made a trade for pitcher Alexis Diaz, but he's in training in Arizona, the Dodgers managed to beat the Yankees 8-5 on Friday. Fans hope stars like Ohtani and Freddie Freeman can keep the team connected. This series is a rematch of the 2024 World Series, and the Dodgers want to show that they are still a strong team, even with Betts gone.
Even in this series, when the depth of the Dodgers is up against it due to a challenging Yankees team, it's tough getting over Betts' absence as he is hitting .254 with eight home runs this season.. Fans are cheering for a quick recovery, and the team is focused on staying competitive in this exciting matchup.
