Dan Altavilla's 98 mph fastball hit Betts near the pinky and ring finger of his left hand...Betts appeared unable to move his left hand...slowly flexed it and did a preliminary strength test.
Betts is the second notable injury the Dodgers have faced in as many days. Yoshinobu Yamamoto left his start on Saturday due to right triceps tightness and has since been placed on the 15-day injured list.
Dodgers are likely to rely on Miguel Rojas to fill in at shortstop for Betts... Dodgers are 19-0 this season in games when Rojas has at least one hit.
Replacing Betts as the leadoff hitter might be the most challenging aspect for the Dodgers. Shohei Ohtani might be the obvious candidate.
