LOS ANGELES — Mookie Betts will move from shortstop back to right field when he returns to the Los Angeles Dodgers' lineup next week. Manager Dave Roberts says Betts will make the move Monday in Milwaukee, where the Dodgers open a four-game series. Roberts says Betts is "is most confident right now in right field versus at shortstop." Earlier in the week, Roberts said Betts would remain at short but drop to No. 2 in the order when he comes back from a broken left hand. Shohei Ohtani will continue atop the order.
