The Los Angeles Dodgers were without star Mookie Betts in the team’s 8-5 win over the New York Yankees due a freak toe injury he reportedly sustained walking to a bathroom. 

Betts, 32, said he banged his toe into a wall as he walked to the bathroom in the dark, according to the Los Angeles Times. 

X-Rays revealed Betts fractured the toe, according to ESPN.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Betts will miss games against the Yankees Saturday and Sunday, but he doesn’t expect the eight-time All-Star to go on the injured list. 

"I feel confident saying it’s day to day," Roberts said, "but putting on a shoe today was difficult for him."

Betts is having a down year, relative to his career numbers. The 2018 AL MVP has a .254 batting average with eight home runs and 31 RBIs and a .742 OPS in 53 games this season.

In his 12-year career, Betts has a batting average of .293 and an .891 OPS. 

Betts’ freak injury is not the first for the Dodgers this season. First baseman Freddie Freeman had a similar incident that caused him to miss nine games after he slipped in the shower and aggravated his surgically repaired right ankle.

"Mookie’s toe, that’s kind of freaky, like what happened to me," Freeman said after the Dodgers' win. "You hit the speed bumps along the way. We did it last year, and we did all right. Hopefully, we can do that again this year."

The Yankees (35-21) and Dodgers (35-22) will play the second game of their three-game series Saturday at 7:15 p.m. ET on FOX.

Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., urged the Democratic Party to be more tolerant of dissenting opinions on controversial issues — such as transgender athletes competing in women's sports — during a conversation with Bill Maher on "Real Time" on Friday.

Moulton argued that one of the Democratic Party’s biggest problems is its intolerance of internal dissent, which has led to Republicans winning over the public on hot-button issues.

The Massachusetts representative faced calls for his resignation last November after he challenged the left's stance on transgender athletes in girls' and women's sports during an interview with The New York Times.

"Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face," he said at the time. "I have two little girls. I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat I’m supposed to be afraid to say that."

Maher brought this up during his conversation with Moulton and praised him for speaking out, claiming that Democrats need to stop taking the unpopular side of "80/20" issues.

The late-night host also mentioned that Moulton's campaign manager quit over his statement on transgender athletes and that people like his former campaign manager "are the problem."

"The point is, we can't have disagreements in the party," Moulton claimed. "That was actually the latter half of my juicy quote to the New York Times. I just said, ‘I don’t want my daughter getting run over,' but as a Democrat, I'm not allowed to say that."

He continued, saying, "That's the problem: we can't even discuss these issues. We can't even have a reasonable policy on trans people in sports because we're not allowed to talk about it, and Republicans just run away with the issue, and they're very extreme."

Maher told Moulton that while he appreciates him taking that stance, "it's got to go further than that."

"You have to be able to talk about it, and also, that guy's wrong and you're right! How about that? You're right about this," he asserted. 

Later on in the conversation, the Democratic representative called out his party for slamming Republicans as "weird," while simultaneously requiring members to have their pronouns listed in their email signatures.

"Look, if you want to be trans, go for it. It's a free country, and you can put your pronouns out there, but don't put that on me," Moulton explained.

He reiterated that Democrats need to stop taking the "20" side of "80/20" issues and expect to win over the majority of the country.

"We got to actually be real with the American people — just be honest — and it's okay if you disagree, I'm fine with that," Moulton stated. "But I get to speak as a dad, that's legitimate."
