Impact Betts will be absent from the lineup Sunday for the eighth game in a row, as his recovery from a sore right hip continues to linger longer than anticipated. He received a cortisone shot Saturday to address the pain in his hip, and the Dodgers may want to wait and see how Betts is feeling 24 hours after the injection before making a call on whether or not he'll go on the IL. After Sunday's series finale, the Dodgers won't play again until Tuesday in San Francisco, so a formal announcement on Betts' status may not be made for a couple of days, even if the team is in fact planning to place him on the shelf.
