Might play more 2B this year Dodgers manager Dave Roberts suggested Tuesday that Betts might play more second base this year, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Impact The topic came up -- yet again -- because Gavin Lux has been diagnosed with a torn ACL and will likely be sidelined for the entire year. Chris Taylor could be thrust into shortstop duties here and there, and the Dodgers want to prepare Betts to handle second base when the alignment makes sense for him to do so. He's already slated to see some action at second for Team USA in the upcoming World Baseball Classic.

Might not hit leadoff this season Betts could be moved down from leadoff in the Dodgers' batting order this season, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact All 138 of Betts' starts last season came in the leadoff spot and that helped him score 117 runs, which tied for the National League lead with teammate Freddie Freeman. Manager Dave Roberts did add he'd have to find another player who would make sense for the top of the batting order over Betts, and he's not sure at this juncture who that might be. While Roberts might want to shift the veteran outfielder down into the heart of the order, Betts' career .368 OBP could wind up being the Dodgers' best table-setting option.

To play some 2B in WBC Betts is expected to play a couple of games at second base during the World Baseball Classic, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact And his work at that position for Team USA could carry over into more looks at second base for the Dodgers when the MLB regular season gets underway. Betts logged five starts -- seven total appearances -- at the keystone in both 2021 and 2022. He'll still primarily serve as the everyday right fielder in Los Angeles.

Purposely puts on weight Betts said Thursday he gained eight pounds during the offseason in an effort to add strength, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Impact Betts indicated that he visited Driveline Baseball this winter at the request of the Dodgers, and the primary takeaway seems to have been a conscious effort to put on some pounds. The star right fielder didn't exactly lack in power last season -- he hit a career-best 35 homers in 142 games -- so any gain in that category would be icing on an already very sumptuous cake for Los Angeles and Betts' fantasy managers. The Dodgers had quite a bit of lineup turnover during the offseason, but they figure to again rank among the top offenses in baseball, which should provide Betts plenty of opportunities to put up production worthy of a first-round pick in 2023 drafts.
