Smacks leadoff homer Betts went 1-for-4 with a homer in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Brewers.
Impact Betts connected on the second pitch of the game for his seventh home run of the season. The outfielder is hitting just .174 over his last six games, but half of his hits are home runs in that stretch. Betts has stolen at least 10 bases in eight straight seasons, but he has not cashed in on the new rules, as he has swiped just one bag this year.

Delivers clutch homer Betts went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday in a 5-2 extra-winning victory over the Padres.
Impact Betts had a rough time overall in the three-game set against San Diego, going 1-for-11 with four strikeouts. However, he had the most memorable hit for either team, tying the game with a solo shot off Josh Hader with two outs in the ninth inning Sunday. Betts hasn't quite lived up to his fantasy managers' expectations so far this season, slashing .254/.361/.468 with six homers, 19 RBI, 22 runs and just one stolen base over 147 plate appearances. However, he's begun May on a promising note, slashing .333/.407/.625 with two homers and eight RBI through six games.

Another three-hit game Betts went 3-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 13-1 win over the Phillies.
Impact Betts is trying to shake off a sluggish April, and a pair of three-hit efforts to open May is a great way to do just that. He had a two-run single in the second inning and added another RBI on a single in the fourth. The 30-year-old has added 35 points to his batting average over the last two games, and he's now slashing .270/.372/.486 with five home runs, 17 RBI, 20 runs scored and a stolen base through 29 contests this season.

Drives in three runs Betts went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in a win over Philadelphia on Monday.
Impact After starting the game 0-for-2, Betts collected a hit in three straight at-bats. He drove in a run with a double in the fifth inning before drilling a two-run shot for insurance in the seventh. Betts made his fourth start at shortstop Monday and will have even more fantasy value if he can pick up eligibility in the infield. He improved his slash line to .252/.360/.477 with 14 extra-base hits and 19 runs scored through 125 plate appearances.

Impact Miguel Rojas is back from the injured list, but it will be Betts handling shortstop Monday. It's the fourth start and sixth appearance at short for Betts, who before this season hadn't made a start at the position since short-season ball back in 2012.

Goes deep in win Betts went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-3 victory versus St. Louis.
Impact Betts led off the Dodgers' half of the first inning with a homer to left field for his only hit of the game. He started at shortstop for the third time in his past five contests before later shifting to right field. Betts is in a bit of a slump at the moment, as Friday's long ball is his only hit over his past 17 at-bats.

Drives in four Betts went 2-for-4 with one double, one homer, four RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Cubs.
Impact Betts knocked in four of the Dodgers' seven runs Sunday, going 2-for-4 and taking Marcus Stroman deep for a two-run home run in the third inning. As a top talent hitting toward the front of one of the best offenses, Betts should continue to be a strong fantasy producer and is currently slashing .269/.387/.474.

Making first career start at short Betts is hitting leadoff and playing shortstop against the Cubs on Sunday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Impact For the first time in his MLB career, Betts will make the start at shortstop. The 30-year-old has been moved to the position twice during the 2023 campaign, and the Dodgers feel comfortable enough with what they've seen to give him the start. Jason Heyward gets the start in right field with Betts playing up the middle.

Starting in right field Betts is starting in right field and batting leadoff Friday for the Dodgers in their game against the Cubs, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
Impact Betts came off the bench as a pinch-hitter Thursday and even played a little shortstop, but this is his first start since returning from paternity leave. The superstar looked surprisingly comfortable at shortstop and it appears as though he will get some playing time there, but for this game he'll be in his customary right field.

Plays shortstop in return Betts returned from the paternity list against the Cubs in a 6-2 win Thursday, coming off the bench to go 1-for-2 at the plate while playing three innings at shortstop.
Impact Betts had to hurry to the ballpark in order to be active for the contest, as he had been on the paternity list since Tuesday and didn't make it to Chicago until shortly before game time Thursday. A rain delay that pushed the start time of the contest back an hour may have helped his case, though the star outfielder wasn't part of the Dodgers' starting lineup. Betts came into the contest as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and promptly singled, and he stayed in the game thereafter to log his first career MLB innings at shortstop. He looked comfortable at the position, turning a smooth double play to stymie a Cubs threat in the eighth. Betts figures to be a lineup regular now that he's back with the club, and it won't be surprising if he sees additional time at shortstop with Miguel Rojas (hamstring) on the injured list and Chris Taylor day-to-day with a side injury.
