| Mookie Betts (illness) has rejoined the team and could serve as the designated hitter Monday against the Padres. Connor Rooney Sun, Mar 8th | Juan Soto came into contact with a teammate that tested positive for coronavirus, and is currently isolating away from Nationals Park. Carmen Maiorano - Carm's Clubhouse Tue, Jul 7th | |
| Mookie Betts is dealing with a stomach illness and is expected to be sidelined until Wednesday. Brendan Tuma - Too Much Tuma Sat, Mar 7th | The Nationals called off Monday’s workout due to concerns with a delay in getting back COVID-19 test results. Brendan Tuma - Too Much Tuma Mon, Jul 6th | |
| Mookie Betts went 0-for-2 with a sacrifice fly in his Dodgers debut on Sunday. Connor Rooney Tue, Feb 25th | Nationals outfielder Juan Soto went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's loss to the Miami Marlins. The homer was his second of the Spring. Mike Maher - The Birds Blitz Tue, Mar 10th | |
| Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says Mookie Betts will be the team's primary leadoff hitter this season.

| Notes | ||
| Jeter Downs. Alex Verdugo. Betts will be tied to these players moving forward, and he has 60 games to show the Dodgers and the Dodger faithful that he was worth it. Betts could be the top player in fantasy by season's end, and it shouldn't surprise you. Michael Waterloo - FantasyPros | In OBP leagues, you can make the case for Soto to be the third player off the board, as his plate discipline may just be the best in the league. He's only going to get better, too, as there's more room for power growth in his game. His plate discipline gives him a safe floor moving forward, too. Michael Waterloo - FantasyPros | |
| After weeks of rumors, Betts was finally traded to the Dodgers, but the move shouldn't impact his value much. His plate appearances and home runs, because of the less hitter-friendly parks in his new division, may downgrade his numbers ever so slightly. But Betts has essentially averaged a .305-120-30-95-25 line over his past four seasons. Even with a minor drop, he'll still earn his top-five draft position. Dan Harris - FantasyPros | It seemed impossible that Soto could be even better than his rookie year but that is just what we got with 34 homers, 110 RBIs, 110 runs and a .282 batting average to go with 12 steals. Considering how young he is, we may see even more in 2020 which would make his second round ADP a steal. Bobby Sylvester - FantasyPros | |
| Mookie's batting average dipped 50 points from the year prior and he stole 14 fewer bases despite an extra 15 games played. With that said, his 2018 performance shows he has the upside to finish as the #1 fantasy player. As it is, the choice at #4 and #5 is between he and his teammate, Cody Bellinger. Bobby Sylvester - FantasyPros | I have some concerns that the stolen bases aren't going to develop like his offensive potential has and will continue to. He has Top 5 potential if he can become a 15-20 Stolen Base guy on top of his immense upside with the bat. He would rank higher if I felt more optimistic about the SBs. Chris Mitchell - FantasyData | |
| Betts looks like a very safe, conservative 25/25 2020 OF in LAD. Leaving Fenway Park won't be a huge hit to the HR totals, if at all. Betts could be statistically better than Story/Lindor and Turner but it's a close call. Take the SS' ahead of the OF and go with the SB potential of Turner before Betts.
