Impact Betts landed on the IL on April 5 due to a right oblique strain, which kept him out of game action for more than a month before he played 11 innings over two rehab contests with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday and Friday. With Betts checking out fine following the rehab assignment, he's on track to rejoin the Dodgers lineup for Monday's series opener, though Roberts said he's undecided whether the eight-time All-Star will hit second or third in the order, according to Dan Greenspan of the Associated Press. Betts should immediately settle back into an everyday role at shortstop, and his return will also force the Dodgers to make a tough roster decision. Alex Freeland and Hyeseong Kim have been serving as the Dodgers' primary starters in the middle infield during Betts' absence, but one of the two would appear at risk of being sent to Triple-A in a corresponding move since the team's other two reserve infielders (Miguel Rojas and Santiago Espinal) don't have minor-league options remaining.

Impact Betts was cleared to embark on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday. He's gone 2-for-5 with a walk and a run scored across two minor-league outings, and it looks like the veteran shortstop has progressed enough in his recovery from a right oblique strain to return to the Dodgers. If Betts is activated off the IL, then Hyeseong Kim and Miguel Rojas would both stand to lose out on playing time.

Beginning assignment Friday Betts (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

Impact Betts landed on the injured list April 5 due to a strained right oblique, and his time on the shelf was slightly extended due to a setback he suffered in late April. He was cleared to play in a sim game Thursday and is now ready to test his oblique in a competitive setting. The Comets confirmed that the eight-time All-Star will play for them Friday and Saturday, leaving the door open for him to return to the Dodgers' lineup by the end of their weekend series against Atlanta. Otherwise, he could be activated ahead of Los Angeles' four-game series versus San Francisco.

Cleared to face live pitching Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Betts (oblique) is on track to face live pitching in a simulated game Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact If Betts experienced no setbacks with his strained right oblique during the upcoming workout, Roberts suggested that it could be the final step before the 33-year-old heads out on a rehab assignment. Because he's been on the shelf since April 5, Betts will likely need at least a couple of games in the minors to regain his timing at the plate. Once he's deemed ready to return from the 10-day injured list, Betts should settle back in as the Dodgers' everyday shortstop, resulting in Hyeseong Kim fading into more of a utility role.
