Dodgers Rest Mookie Betts Amid Season Struggles in Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Dodgers have benched Mookie Betts to allow him a mental reset amid a slump, with manager Dave Roberts noting the decision is not related to his defensive position. The Atlanta Braves are preparing to integrate Jurickson Profar back into their lineup in a middle-order role after his suspension, as manager Brian Snitker aims to leverage Profar's switch-hitting ability for increased RBI opportunities. The Braves are also set to host the Los Angeles Angels, who recently activated Soler from injury, in a game where pitching adjustments are ongoing, including lineup shifts and starting pitcher changes. Dodgers are highlighted as a top offensive stack for MLB daily fantasy sports contests, with attention on Yoshinobu Yamamoto's pitching performance, despite some recent struggles. Meanwhile, Angels pitcher Kochanowicz has faced challenges with limited innings and high runs allowed, leading to short outings under interim manager Ray Montgomery's cautious pitch count management.
