The Los Angeles Dodgers are expected to get Mookie Betts back in the lineup tonight against the San Francisco Giants, which means a player on the roster will be heading back to the minors.
Second baseman Alex Freeland will be demoted when Betts is reinstated, reports Jack Harris of the California Post. Freeland made the Dodgers roster out of camp despite an underwhelming Spring Training. He slashed .235/.309/.337 in 113 plate appearances.
Betts went down with an oblique strain in early April. He’ll ultimately miss just over a month of action. The eight-time All-Star picked up five hits over 28 at-bats to begin the season.
