Will face live pitching Tuesday Manager Dave Roberts said Betts (hip) is scheduled to face live pitching in a simulated game Tuesday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
Impact Betts is still tending to a sore hip after being struck by a pitch in Saturday's win over the Angels, and the injury will relegate him to the bench for Sunday's regular-season finale. Roberts doesn't seem too concerned about the injury, as Betts should be ready to handle his normal duties in the outfield and as the Dodgers' leadoff hitter during the postseason, assuming his sim game goes according to plan.

Sitting in regular-season finale Betts (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact Betts is believed to have avoided any major damage after he was removed in Saturday's 7-6 win when he was struck by a pitch in the left hip area. With the Dodgers having already secured baseball's top record, manager Dave Roberts is likely just holding Betts out of the final lineup of the regular season as a precaution. A.J. Pollock will serve as Los Angeles' leadoff man in Betts' stead.

Exits after first inning Betts was removed from Saturday's game against the Angels after being hit by a pitch around the left hip, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 27-year-old was hit by a pitch on the sixth pitch of the game and stayed in to run the bases, though he didn't return to the field for the following frame. Betts didn't appear visibly impacted after being plunked, but it's not much of a surprise to see the Dodgers expressing caution in the final weekend of the regular season since they've already secured the best record in the National League.
