Mookie Betts could play shortstop for the Los Angeles Dodgers when he returns from the paternity list.

"We'll see," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said with a smirk prior to Tuesday's game. "We'll see."

Chris Taylor suffered an injury to his left side Monday, and Gavin Lux has been lost for the year to a torn ACL, leaving Miguel Rojas, who's slashing .129/.182/.161 through his first 10 games, as the only shortstop on the roster. 

Roberts said Betts nonetheless takes ground balls at the position on a daily basis and has been "clamoring for quite some time" to draw a start there.
