Mookie Betts returns to the Dodgers’ lineup after getting an off-day Friday, reclaiming his spot as the leadoff hitter for the team’s Saturday home game against the Colorado Rockies.

Justin Turner is in the three-hole as the designated hitter, followed by center fielder AJ Pollock in the cleanup spot. For the third straight game, Austin Barnes is behind the plate, batting ninth.

Rookie Dustin May takes the mound for his sixth start of the season, entering with a 1-1 record and a 3.00 ERA. The right-hander is averaging 98.4 mph on his fastball, second-fastest among MLB pitchers with at least 250 innings.
