The Dodgers are off Wednesday, then start a four-game series against the Padres on Thursday. Sounds like Betts can be back by then. "We dodged a bullet," Roberts said.

Ohtani threw a 30-pitch bullpen on Saturday and the reports were positive. "He's feeling good," Angels manager Joe Maddon said, "so we'll just pay attention to it and try to make our best guess."
