The Los Angeles Dodgers are getting a major boost just in time for a pivotal series. Superstar Mookie Betts is expected to return to the lineup on Monday when the Dodgers open a four-game set against their longtime rivals, the San Francisco Giants.

Betts has been sidelined for over a month with a right oblique strain, an injury that can be notoriously tricky for hitters. The seven-time All-Star and former MVP has been a key catalyst for the Dodgers' lineup, and his return couldn't come at a better time as the team looks to solidify their standing in the NL West.

With Betts back in the mix, the Dodgers regain one of the most dynamic players in the game—a player who can impact the game with his bat, glove, and legs. For Dodgers fans, seeing No. 50 back in the lineup is a welcome sight, and for those who love the game, it's a reminder of the star power that makes October baseball so special.
