Mookie Betts to Return for Brewers Series

Los Angeles Dodgers' Mookie Betts is set to return from a fractured left hand in time for the team's road series against the Milwaukee Brewers next week. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Betts will play shortstop and bat second in the lineup to separate left-handed hitters Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman. Betts, who has been recovering since mid-June, had shown impressive stats this season with a .304 batting average and 10 home runs before his injury. Despite speculation about his position, Betts will remain at shortstop, where he has committed nine errors in 65 games. The Dodgers had considered other infield options due to injuries to key players like Miguel Rojas and recent acquisitions like Nick Ahmed. Betts' return is expected to provide a significant boost to a Dodgers lineup that has struggled in his absence.
