Markus Betts: Breaking News
Batting cleanup
Betts is batting cleanup and starting at shortstop Tuesday versus the Rockies. Betts has struggled since his return from an oblique strain with a .494 OPS across 12 games since May 11. The 33-year-old has had struggles since the beginning of 2025 after he missed games at the beginning of the season due to an illness and would go on to have his worst statistical year in his career. As his issues at the plate have continued into 2026 along with the oblique injury, the Dodgers seem to be trying to shake things up with the batting order Tuesday. Andy Pages has the shortstop's typical spot in the two hole.
On bench Sunday
Betts is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports. Betts started the first two games of the series but will take a seat for the finale after going 2-for-4 with a walk and a homer in Saturday's contest. Miguel Rojas will step in at shortstop and bat eighth Sunday.
