Mookie Betts has played strong defense in his first full season as a shortstop, but the recent outfield play for the Los Angeles Dodgers has manager Dave Roberts fielding questions about whether the 2018 AL MVP would be more valuable to the team in right field. Outfield defense has been a problem for Los Angeles, and Roberts called out Teoscar Hernández's play in right after Monday night's 4-3 loss to the Colorado Rockies. Hernández failed to catch Ezequiel Tovar's high popup that landed for a double in the ninth inning, and Tovar scored the winning run two pitches later.
