The Dodgers placed on the 10-day injured list this afternoon, a formality after he suffered a fractured left hand yesterday. is back up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to take his spot on the active roster. That alone didnt provide much of an update, but skipper Dave Roberts outlined a loose timetable when speaking with the L.A. beat tonight. Roberts said the Dodgers anticipate being without Betts for 6-8 weeks ( via Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times). will draw into the lineup as the primary shortstop in the interim. Betts was hit by a 98 MPH fastball from in yesterdays win over Kansas City. The Dodgers revealed after the game that hed sustained a fracture. It halts what could have been an MVP season. Betts is hitting .304/.405/.488 with 10 longballs through 331 trips to the plate. He has walked 14.5% of the time against a 10% strikeout rate. On top of the customarily elite offense, Betts has logged 531 1/3 innings at shortstop (plus 97 frames at second base). Public metrics are mixed on his shortstop glovework Defensive Runs Saved has rated him four runs better than par, while Statcast has him three runs below average but the fact that Betts was able take over the Jordan Lawlar Jersey position on short notice at the end of spring is itself a huge boost. Rojas is at least a steady replacement. He remains a high-end defender at age 35. Rojas has turned in good offensive results in a utility capacity this year, hitting .278/.328/.444 with a trio of homers in 42 games. Hes not likely to continue hitting at that level in an everyday role, as he ran a .246/.299/.348 line between 2021-23. The 6-8 week timeline means Betts probably wont be back before the July 30 trade deadline. Roberts and GM Brandon Gomes told reporters that L.A. is open to reinstalling Betts at shortstop once hes healthy (Harris ). With an eight-game cushion in the NL West, the Dodgers probably dont need to change their deadline approach to the shortstop position. Yet middle infield help looked like a potential target before Betts went down. The Dodgers havent gotten much out of second base, where is hitting .212/.262/.280 acro s 202 plate appearances. There probably wont be many significant shortstops on the market. The White Sox will almost certainly trade for a modest return, but hes not a clear upgrade on Rojas. Miamis hasnt hit for a second consecutive season.The top impending free agents, and , are on contenders and unlikely to move. Second base offers a couple more po sibilities.
