  • Getting rare day off
    Betts isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: After starting 47 consecutive games and posting an incredible .341/.440/.562 slash line to begin the year, Betts will step out of the lineup for the first time all season. Miguel Rojas will instead start at shortstop while batting ninth. Rotowire.com May 18, 1:12 pm
