Betts (hand) will play right field when he returns Monday against the Brewers, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Betts noted Friday that the decision to move off shortstop was "mostly" mutual between him and manager Dave Roberts, and the superstar acknowledged that the Dodgers' best chance to win likely comes with him in right field, per Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register. That means Nick Ahmed and Miguel Rojas will continue to split time at shortstop, while Jason Heyward sees less playing time in the outfield. Roberts could also tinker with his lineup depending on who's on the mound for the opposition. Betts has been sidelined since June 17 due to a bone fracture in his left wrist. Prior to the injury, he was slashing .304/.405/.488 with nine stolen bases, 10 home runs and 40 RBI across 331 plate appearances.
