Overview
- Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Betts feels no pain in his right oblique and will not be activated when his 10-day injured list stint ends.
- Los Angeles placed him on the IL after an MRI confirmed an oblique strain that the club believes followed a checked swing against the Nationals.
- The Dodgers recalled infielder Hyeseong Kim from Triple-A, and he is sharing shortstop duties with Miguel Rojas based on pitching matchups.
- Betts said he feels “light years ahead” in his rehab and wants to return quickly, though he acknowledged he must be careful with this type of injury.
- Oblique strains often sideline players for a month or longer, which leaves his timeline open as the Dodgers start 9-3.
