Mookie Betts Returns to Dodgers Lineup After Five-Week IL Stint

Mookie Betts was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday after missing 32 games with a strained right oblique. Sidelined since April 5, Betts completed a two-game rehab assignment before returning for the series opener against the Giants, batting second and playing shortstop. His return is aimed at sparking a sluggish Dodgers offense. Separately, his former private chef, James Dalton, recently opened a new sandwich shop, Table 504, in Santa Clarita.
