Impact Betts was reportedly managing the ailment heading into the game, but he still started and went 0-for-3 with a strikeout before his condition took a turn for the worse as the contest unfolded. As a result, the Dodgers pulled Betts in the sixth inning, but the skipper is optimistic that after a night to rest up, the 28-year-old will be ready to go. If Betts is cleared to start, he could be joined in the outfield by Cody Bellinger (hamstring), who is on track to be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of the series finale.

Impact Betts wasn't known to be nursing an injury after he went 1-for-3 with a double, two walks, an RBI and two runs while playing all nine innings of Saturday's 9-3 win, so he's presumably sitting Sunday in what amounts to a pre-planned maintenance day. Chris Taylor will cover center field for Betts in the series finale.
