Dodgers News: Trea Turner Will Not Bat Leadoff When Mookie Betts Returns

The Dodgers are hoping to get Mookie Betts back into their lineup sooner rather than later. The superstar outfielder went down with a cracked rib after colliding with Cody Bellinger in the outfield in a game against the Angels on June 15th. He has sat out since then and is currently working his way back.

Betts progressed to taking batting practice on the field and making some throws on Thursday afternoon. The Dodgers are hopeful that he can keep moving forward and Dave Roberts believes he could return early next week.

But when he does return, Trea Turner has made the conversation around leadoff hitters very interesting.
