Dodgers Veterans Taking Slow Approach to Spring Training

Max Muncy made his spring debut on Thursday, but veteran teammates like Mookie Betts are skipping early games to prioritize rest after back-to-back World Series titles.

Dodgers veterans are taking a slow approach to spring training, prioritizing rest and recovery over early workload management following consecutive World Series victories. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed this strategy allows stars like Mookie Betts to build up gradually over the six-week camp.

Despite the cautious approach, Los Angeles remains the only undefeated team in the Cactus League. The strategy aims to keep the league's oldest position player core fresh for the regular season.
