Betts will not be in the team’s lineup on Sunday.

The former MVP is batting .152 with seven hits, three home runs, eight runs and eight RBI’s in his first 12 games of the season.

He is in his seventh year playing for the Dodgers (and they have won the World Series three times in that span).

Before the Dodgers, the future Hall of Famer spent his first six seasons with the Boston Red Sox.

Dodgers Right Now

The Dodgers come into Sunday as the top team in the National League West with a 28-18 record in 46 games.

They are 13-8 in the 21 games they have played on the road.

After the Angels, the Dodgers will visit the San Diego Padres for a series that starts on Monday night.

Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic wrote (after Saturday’s game): “The Dodgers won, 15-2. They are 28-18 and have won four in a row (and taken a series against the Angels). Justin Wrobleski threw six innings to help save a tired bullpen. The offense exploded. Shohei Ohtani hit one off the netting for a Little League homer.”
