Homers in return Betts went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional run, a walk and a strikeout in Los Angeles' 13-0 shutout of the Diamondbacks on Sunday.
Impact Betts reached base three times Sunday, walking in the first, singling and scoring in the seventh and slugging his 15th home run in the ninth. It was reported that Betts could see increased opportunity at second base -- Sunday was his second appearance there this season - to limit the strain on his injured hip, though his performance at the dish didn't resemble a hampered player.

Activated, starting at second base Betts (hip) was activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday and is starting at second base against the Diamondbacks, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact Manager Dave Roberts indicated Saturday that Betts could spend some time at second base to reduce the strain on his hip, and the outfielder is indeed starting at the keystone in his first game off the shelf. The 28-year-old played a few innings at the position July 10 and has a handful of appearances there in his big-league career, though he played more at second in the minors. According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, Roberts plans on having Betts return to his usual post in right field Tuesday against the Astros.

Could see time at second base Betts has discussed with Dodgers manager Dave Roberts the possibility of spending some time at second base to reduce the strain on his injured right hip, Bill Plunkett of The Orang...
Impact The Dodgers recently took a similar approach with Cody Bellinger, having him play two games at first base after returning from a hamstring injury. Betts has some experience at second base, having played the position at times in the minors and occasionally in the majors -- most recently, for a few innings July 10. He's unlikely to spend substantial time at the position, however, given the recent acquisition of Trea Turner (COVID-19), who is expected to share the middle infield with Corey Seager. Per David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports, Betts indicated that he will return to the lineup when he is eligible to be activated off the injured list Sunday.
