Finally goes on IL The Dodgers placed Betts on the 10-day injured list with right hip inflammation.
Impact Los Angeles spent the hours leading up to Sunday's series finale against the Rockies weighing whether to place Betts on the IL before ultimately pulling the trigger on the transaction minutes before opening pitch. Ideally, the Dodgers would have made the call earlier, as Betts failed to quickly shake off the hip injury and ended up sitting out each of the past seven contests. Due to the timing of the IL move, Betts won't be eligible to return to action until Aug. 1, when the Dodgers conclude a series with the Diamondbacks. Billy McKinney, Matt Beaty and Luke Raley appear to be the main candidates to pick up work in the outfield while Betts is on the shelf.

Impact Betts will be absent from the lineup Sunday for the eighth game in a row, as his recovery from a sore right hip continues to linger longer than anticipated. He received a cortisone shot Saturday to address the pain in his hip, and the Dodgers may want to wait and see how Betts is feeling 24 hours after the injection before making a call on whether or not he'll go on the IL. After Sunday's series finale, the Dodgers won't play again until Tuesday in San Francisco, so a formal announcement on Betts' status may not be made for a couple of days, even if the team is in fact planning to place him on the shelf.

Receives cortisone shot Betts (hip) will sit as expected Saturday against the Rockies as he waits for the cortisone shot he received recently to have an effect, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Impact The Dodgers may wish that they placed Betts on the injured list several days ago, as he hasn't played since Monday and isn't expected to play again until the Dodgers head to San Francisco on Tuesday. He still isn't being placed on the injured list, however, with the team seemingly optimistic that the cortisone shot will have the desired effect. That aligns with recent comments from manager Dave Roberts, who noted that Betts' main issue at the moment is pain tolerance.

Impact Betts hasn't played since July 19 due to the hip issue, and he's likely to miss at least two more games despite the reassuring tests. Manager Dave Roberts indicated that the star outfielder's ability to compete is dependent on his pain tolerance, and Los Angeles has thus far been hesitant to put Betts on the injured list despite the multi-game absence. That may largely be due to the team's big upcoming series against the NL West-leading Giants, which Betts would have to miss entirely if he were to be placed on the IL. The team is hoping that having Betts sit out the final two games of the current series against the Rockies and rest during Monday's off day will allow him to return in time for Game 1 of the division clash versus San Francisco, which begins Tuesday.

Injured list possible Betts (hip) remains day-to-day, but a stint on the injured list is possible, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports
Impact Betts remains out of the lineup Thursday against the Giants and has now missed five consecutive games. It was reported earlier in the week that Betts was available as a pinch-hitter, so the fact that a stint on the injured list is now considered may mean he isn't recovering as quickly as expected. Billy McKinney is starting in right field Thursday, though Zach McKinstry could also see an uptick in playing time if Betts does land on the injured list.
