TORONTO — Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts struck an optimistic tone in front of his locker at Rogers Centre on Monday. But neither he nor manager Dave Roberts put a date on the star’s return from a right oblique strain. He called it “much less severe” than the left oblique strain he sustained during his 2018 MVP season. That injury came on a swing in the batting cage and sidelined him for about two weeks. This time, there is some debate over exactly how Betts injured his oblique, which prompted him to be put on the 10-day injured list.
