Day off Friday Betts will sit for Friday's game against the Brewers, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Betts hits the bench for the eighth time so far this season. While most of his previous off days were due to minor injuries, this one appears to be just routine rest. Matt Beaty will start in right field in his absence.

Plates two runs Wednesday Betts went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Wednesday's win over the Reds.

Impact Betts has hit safely in five of his last six games, but this was his first multi-hit outing in more than a week -- he hadn't accomplished this feat since he went 2-for-4 against the Mariners on April 19. The star outfielder is not having a good start to the year and is only hitting .250 with a .774 OPS through his first 94 plate appearances. Both figures would be career-low marks for Betts if sustained across the entire season.

Swipes bag in loss Betts went 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored, a stole base and was also hit by a pitch in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Padres.

Impact Betts was able to rope a double down the left field line to lead off the first and later came around to score for a quick 1-0 lead but the Dodgers' bats were mute for most of the game. He was able to get on again his next at-bat after getting hit and notched his third stolen base of the year but was left stranded when Edwin Rios struck out to end the inning. Despite slashing .273/.403/.473, Betts has only two RBI to his name thus far but has made up for it by scoring 12 times and posting a 9:8 BB:K.

Impact Though Betts is out of the lineup for Tuesday's series finale after he was plunked by a pitch late in Monday's loss to Seattle, he was fortunate to avoid any structural damage to his forearm. Roberts noted that Betts was "feeling pretty good" after reporting to the ballpark Tuesday, so he should have a good chance at gaining clearance for the start of the Dodgers' four-game series with the Padres, which begins Thursday. The Dodgers will first see how Betts responds to treatment before deciding on his status for the weekend series.
