Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Continuing resurgence
Betts went 2-for-3 with two walks and two runs Thursday in a 9-5 victory against the Rockies.
Betts got a turn in the leadoff slot with Shohei Ohtani (thigh) given a rest day. The outfielder-turned-shortstop set the table well in the series finale, reaching four times and scoring twice. Betts went through an 0-for-20 five-game stretch from late July to early August that brought his season batting average down to .231, but he's bounced back nicely since, slashing .351/.415/.491 with two homers, nine RBI, 14 runs and a 6:4 BB:K over his past 14 contests. Betts' .689 OPS on the campaign is still tracking toward his worst career mark by far, but he's at least surging at the right time as the Dodgers head into the stretch with a one-game lead over San Diego in the NL West.

Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Smacks go-ahead homer
Betts went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Padres.
Betts posted an eight-game hitting streak between Aug. 5-13, though he opened this critical weekend series versus the Padres by going 0-for-6 over the first two games. The 32-year-old's first hit of the series was clutch, as he put the Dodgers ahead for good in the eighth inning after the bullpen squandered a lead. Betts is still dealing with some inconsistency at the plate, batting a modest .254 (15-for-59) with four extra-base hits over 15 games in August. Overall, he's hitting .242 with a .683 OPS, 13 homers, 57 RBI, 75 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 114 contests.

Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Goes yard Friday
Betts went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and two total runs scored in Friday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jays.
Betts' fifth-inning homer was ultimately all the Dodgers needed in the win, but he plated another run as part of a rally in the seventh. The 32-year-old could be sparking a better stretch at the plate -- he's 6-for-12 with three extra-base hits over his last three games, rebounding from an 0-for-20 skid prior to that. Overall, it's still been an underwhelming campaign for Betts, who is slashing .239/.309/.371 with 12 homers, 51 RBI, 68 runs scored and eight stolen bases through 106 contests.

Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Gets on base four times
Betts went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and three runs scored in Tuesday's 12-6 win over the Cardinals.
Betts entered Tuesday 0-for-20 over his previous five games. His lack of production has been a hot topic of conversation, but manager Dave Roberts has no plans of dropping Betts in the order. He's now gone a month without a homer, batting just .186 (16-for-86) with four doubles and four RBI over that 22-game sample. Overall, the 32-year-old has a .236/.308/.361 slash line, 11 homers, 48 RBI, 66 runs scored, 16 doubles, one triple and eight stolen bases through 104 contests this season.

Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Sticking in top of order
Betts will continue to hit in the top two spots of the batting order despite his recent struggles, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.
Manager Dave Roberts stated in his pregame presser that moving Betts down in the order isn't in the game plan at this time. "You've got to think of the alternatives. How guys are swinging right now and the way I look at our lineup and the way guys are swinging, there's not better alternative," said Roberts. "Also, given that Will Smith doesn't play every day, you're trying to not mix and match the top of the order when the catcher plays three out of four or whatever it is. So that's kind of the math." Betts has been scuffling at the dish for a good part of the last month, slashing .167/.219/.265 with two home runs, seven RBI, two stolen bases and 12 runs scored over his last 26 matchups but should continue to see opportunities to produce atop the Dodgers' batting order.

Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Pilfers seventh base, scores thrice
Betts went 2-for-4 with a walk, a steal and three runs scored in Monday's 5-2 victory over the Reds.
Betts drew his sixth straight start in the leadoff spot and snapped a 30-game stretch without a steal when he stole second in the seventh inning. Since drawing his first start as the leadoff batter July 20, the former MVP has hit .231 (6-for-26) with six runs, one RBI and four walks as manager Dave Roberts seeks a way to kickstart Betts' bat. Through 425 total plate appearances, the 32-year-old is slashing .240/.313/.372 with 11 homers, 62 runs scored and 46 RBI.

Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Rejoins lineup Sunday
Betts (personal) is starting at shortstop and batting leadoff Sunday against the Red Sox.
The 32-year-old didn't start the first two games versus Boston due to a personal matter, but he made an appearance as a pinch hitter in Saturday's contest. Betts has gone 3-for-30 over his past eight games, dropping his slash line for the season to .237/.308/.369, all of which would be career worsts.

Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Remains out of lineup Saturday
Betts (personal) is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus Boston, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Betts missed Friday's series opener to tend to a personal matter, and he's absent from the starting nine again Saturday. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Betts is expected to arrive in Boston around game time Saturday, so it appears his absence from the lineup is a matter of timing. If Betts gets to the ballpark during the contest, he could enter at some point during the game, but Miguel Rojas is getting another start at shortstop in the meantime.

Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Returns as pinch hitter
Betts (personal) entered Saturday's loss to Boston as a pinch hitter and struck out in his only at-bat.
Betts missed Friday's series opener to attend to a personal matter and didn't make it to Fenway Park in time for the start of Saturday's game. However, he was able to arrive in time to pinch hit in the top of the ninth inning, when he represented the tying run with two outs. There would be no dramatics against his former club, however, as Betts struck out against closer Aroldis Chapman to end the contest. With Betts now back with the Dodgers, it's likely that he'll return to the lineup Sunday for the series finale.
