Swats solo shot Betts went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Rockies.
Impact Betts was back in right field Tuesday after drawing a start at second base Monday. The 29-year-old was initially going to be used in the infield after returning from a fractured rib, but Chris Taylor's (foot) impending trip to the injured list means the Dodgers need Betts in the outfield instead. In three games since his return, Betts has gone 4-for-11 (.364), picking up right where he left off. He has a .277/.354/.547 slash line, 18 homers, 42 RBI, 56 runs scored and six stolen bases in 63 contests overall.

Starting at second base Betts will hit leadoff and start at second base in Monday's game against the Rockies.
Impact It's no surprise that Betts is occupying the top spot in the order, but it is notable that he is getting the start at the keystone, as that could make him eligible at that position in some leagues. Betts is not a stranger to second base, having started five games there a season ago.

Doubles twice in return Betts (rib) went 2-for-3 with two doubles, two walks and two runs scored in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Padres.
Impact Betts hit doubles in the first and ninth innings, coming around to score both times. He also played the full game in right field, taking over for Chris Taylor (foot). Betts' return after a two-week absence should be a welcome sight for fantasy managers and Dodgers fans, and it looks like he'll immediately reclaim his leadoff role, pushing Trea Turner back to second in the order. Betts hadn't posted a multi-hit effort since June 4. He's now slashing .278/.357/.544 with 17 home runs, 40 RBI, 55 runs scored, six stolen bases and 15 doubles through 61 contests this year.

Impact Utility man Eddy Alvarez was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City to clear room on the 26-man active roster for Betts, who was sidelined for approximately two and a half weeks with a fractured right rib. Though Betts still doesn't feel 100 percent when he throws, the Dodgers' decision to deploy him in the outfield rather than at designated hitter suggests the team doesn't have many concerns about his ability to play defense. Before hitting the shelf, Betts was on his way to a big season with a .273 average, 17 home runs, six stolen bases, 53 runs and 40 RBI through 60 games.

Expected back Sunday Manager Dave Roberts said after Saturday's game that he expects Betts (ribs) to start in right field Sunday against the Padres, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Impact Look for Betts to be back in the leadoff spot against lefty MacKenzie Gore in the series finale. Betts took live BP before Saturday's game, and while throwing is still painful for him, the Dodgers will return him to the outfield regardless after Chris Taylor suffered a foot injury Saturday. Betts hit .273/.349/.535 with 17 homers, six steals, 40 RBI and 53 runs scored in 60 games before hitting the shelf with the fractured rib.

Could return Sunday or Monday Betts (ribs) said Saturday that he could be activated Sunday or Monday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Betts took live at-bats ahead of Saturday's game against the Dodgers and said afterward that the pain stemming from his fractured rib has been more tolerable recently. The 29-year-old will likely play second base upon his return since long throws are still painful for him, but he expects to be back in the outfield before too long.

Takes live at-bats Saturday Betts (ribs) took live at-bats prior to Saturday's game against the Padres, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Impact Betts sustained a fractured rib two weeks ago but resumed baseball activities this week and has been swinging a bat recently. Saturday's hitting session against live pitching is likely one of the final steps in his rehab process, so it's certainly possible that the 29-year-old rejoins the Dodgers in the coming days.

Could face live pitching Saturday Betts (ribs) could hit against live pitching Saturday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
Impact Betts has been out for just shy out two weeks with a fractured rib, but it doesn't look like he'll miss too much more time. He hit off a machine Friday but could face Caleb Ferguson (forearm) in live batting practice Saturday, setting him up for a return a few days later.
