Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Betts (hand) is participating in batting practice and that a return in a couple weeks is "very realistic," Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Betts continues to ramp up his baseball work in his rehab from a fractured left hand, and the finish line may finally be in sight. The 31-year-old could soon progress to live batting practice, and that figures to be one of the final hurdles before he's cleared for game action. It remains to be seen if Betts will require a rehab assignment before returning, but even if necessary, it may not be a lengthy stint in the minors.

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Perdomo will take a seat in the day game after a night game, paving the way for Kevin Newman to draw a start at shortstop. In Tuesday's 17-0 win, Perdomo tied a season high with three hits while scoring twice and driving in two runs in five at-bats.

Crawford went 2-for-4 with an RBI double in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Rangers.

Crawford has served as a backup option on the left side of the Cardinals' infield, but he's seen limited playing time behind Masyn Winn and Nolan Arenado. Tuesday's game was just his sixth in July, and he's gone 3-for-13 with a walk and four strikeouts in those contests. For the season, the veteran is batting .182 with a .583 OPS, one home run, four RBI, five runs scored, five doubles and no stolen bases over 75 plate appearances.

Winn went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Rangers.

Winn is hitting .250 over 11 games since the All-Star break, with two homers and four RBI in that span. The shortstop has hit safely in eight of those games and is still showing enough consistency at the plate to stay in the leadoff spot. He's at a .280/.328/.408 slash line with seven long balls, nine stolen bases, 37 RBI and 48 runs scored across 99 contests this season.

Sosa will start at shortstop and will bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

Sosa will pick up just his fourth start since the All-Star break while he checks in for Trea Turner, who is getting rest for the day game after playing all 12 innings in the Phillies' 7-6 loss Tuesday night. While the Phillies have all their key position players at full strength, Sosa will continue to handle a utility role and won't benefit from consistent playing time.

Turner is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

Turner will join fellow lineup regulars Bryson Stott, J.T. Realmuto and Brandon Marsh on the bench while manager Rob Thomson gives all four players rest for the day game after a night game. Edmundo Sosa will step in at shortstop for Turner, who had started every contest since the All-Star break while slashing .167/.231/.292 with two home runs and one stolen base.

Perdomo went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 17-0 win over the Nationals.

Perdomo joined the Diamondbacks' 22-hit attack with his second straight multi-hit game. He drove in Arizona's third run with a single then doubled home the team's 13th tally. Following an eight-game stretch during which Perdomo batted .115 (3-for-26) without an RBI, the shortstop and ninth-place hitter has driven in five runs over the last four contests.

Newman went 2-for-5 with a steal and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

Newman logged his second straight two-hit game and swiped his fourth bag of the year and his first since June 13. He got the start at first base, but his path to extra playing time may have been closed off by the Diamondbacks' acquisition of Josh Bell from the Marlins on Tuesday to fill the void left by Christian Walker's oblique injury. Newman will continue to play a utility role off the bench for the most part, and he is now slashing .277/.307/.385 with two homers, 22 RBI, 31 runs and a 10:32 BB:K in 229 plate appearances.

Tovar went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and two total runs scored in Tuesday's 10-7 loss to the Angels.

Tovar provided the Rockies' last run with a solo shot in the seventh inning. It was his second multi-hit effort in a row, and it extended his hitting streak to 16 games, a span in which he's lifted six homers and driven in 15 runs. Tovar is up to a .290/.315/.493 slash line with 18 long balls, 52 RBI, 57 runs scored and four stolen bases over 105 contests this year.

The Cubs optioned Mastrobuoni to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

With Isaac Paredes now active and set to take over as Chicago's primary third baseman, Mastrobuoni no longer has a place in the Cubs' infield unit and will now head back to Triple-A. The 28-year-old slashed .260/.283/.300 in 53 plate appearances after being recalled in mid-June.
