Mookie Betts' wife Brianna marks support for Dodgers while flaunting sick RF's jersey at Tokyo Dome

Mookie Betts’ wife, Brianna, served sincere wifey goals, representing her ailing husband while cheering on the Dodgers for the Opening Day Tokyo Series match against the Chicago Cubs. She sported Betts’ jersey to mark support for the contending team and led fans to the energy and excitement that prevailed at the Tokyo Dome. Mookie Betts is back in the US to recover from his illness, which forced him to opt out of the game.

It seems Mookie Betts has returned home alone due to sickness! Brianna, his wife, shared an update on her Instagram story where she is seen representing the Dodgers’ missing shortstop. Clad in Betts’ number 50 jersey, she captioned the picture with text - ‘Reppin for 50’ - showing her unwavering support for the Dodgers, who are playing the 2025 Opener Games at Tokyo against the Chicago Cubs. Take a look at this heart-warming picture of Brianna standing for her husband to cheer his team on:

This season, he underwent a position change, moving from right field to the shortstop position. Earlier, Betts shared that he took up the shortstop position for a ‘personal reason,’ which essentially involved his mission to leave a respectable legacy behind as a legendary baseballer. Betts had started prepping for this position right from the offseason time and was looking forward to giving his best and playing a pivotal role in the team’s game plan.

Mookie Betts got hit by a stomach virus, and he is reportedly sent back to the US for full recovery, as per the updates shared with the reporters by Dave Roberts. The illness caused him fatigue and weight loss, compelling the star shortstop to make a U-turn from the Dodgers’ Tokyo Series line-up.
While talking to reporters, Dave Roberts shared plans to ‘save’ Mookie Betts for the upcoming games from March 27 onwards, which will mark the regular 2025 season. Updating on the Dodgers’ decision to send Betts home, he shared with reporters:
“Mookie flew home, uh, late early evening, late afternoon yesterday, arrived safely, um, and it was just made the most sense for him to get back, uh, to a regular routine, um.”
He continued, “So, that’s kind of where we’re at, and uh, we all support it.”

On March 27, 2025, the Dodgers will take on the Detroit Tigers in the home opener game, and for that, Betts is expected to return to hold the team’s forte at the shortstop position.
Mookie, an MVP Player, a three-time World Series champion, a six-time Gold Glove Award winner, a seven-time Silver Slugger Award winner, and an eight-time All-Star, is a pivot to the Dodgers’ roster. His absence from the Opener Games is undoubtedly a loss for the Dodgers fans.
