Impact Betts exited Friday's series opener with right hip discomfort, but the injury didn't prevent the five-time All-Star from starting Saturday, when he finished the night 1-for-4 with a strikeout. His absence from the lineup Sunday looks to be a pre-planned maintenance day, as Betts has started each of Los Angeles' previous five games since he was reinstated from the injured list Aug. 1. The Dodgers are expected to roll out an outfield of AJ Pollock, Chris Taylor and Cody Bellinger as they wrap up the Freeway Series.

Exits with right hip discomfort Betts was removed from Friday's game against the Dodgers in the top of the seventh inning due to right hip discomfort.
Impact Betts appeared to be in some pain after he crossed the plate in the bottom of the first inning Friday, but he was initially able to remain in the contest. However, the right fielder was ultimately removed from the game as part of a double switch in the top of the seventh. The severity of the issue isn't yet clear, but Betts spent time on the injured list with a hip injury in late July. Prior to his departure, the 28-year-old had gone 2-for-3 with a run and an RBI.

Returns to right field Betts is starting in right field Friday after playing the previous three games at second base, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Impact Manager Dave Roberts has opted to use Betts at the keystone to limit the strain on his injured hip, so his return to the outfield Friday is certainly an encouraging sign that the issue is subsiding. With multiple Dodgers having position flexibility, it's possible Betts sees more time at second base in the future. That being said, he's set to resume serving as the primary right fielder Friday.
