Betts is not in the lineup Thursday versus the Giants, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports. Betts returned from a right oblique strain Monday, which was the first of a four game series versus the Giants. Playing in the first three games of the series, the shortstop went 2-for-13 with a home run, but he will rest for the final game of the series Thursday.

Markus Betts: Breaking News
Goes yard in win
Betts went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Giants. Betts has gone 2-for-13 with one strikeout over three games since he returned from a right oblique strain. The shortstop wasn't hitting all that well prior to the injury, so he may need to shake off some rust over the next few games. Betts is up to three homers, eight RBI, eight runs scored and no stolen bases over 45 plate appearances this season while batting .171 with a .659 OPS.
Activated, batting second Monday
The Dodgers activated Betts (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday. Betts has been sidelined since early April with a right oblique strain, but he's been cleared to return to action after going 2-for-5 over a couple rehab contests with Triple-A Oklahoma City. The eight-time All-Star did not complete either of his rehab games, so it would not be a surprise if the Dodgers initially give him less than a full workload as he breaks back into the lineup. Betts is starting at shortstop and batting second Monday versus the Giants in his first game back with the big club.
