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 hasn't quite looked like himself since 2025 after he missed games at the beginning of that season due to an illness. As his issues at the plate have continued into 2026, the Dodgers seem to be trying to shake things up with the batting order. Andy Pages has the shortstop's typical spot in the two hole.
