Betts (personal) won't be activated from the paternity list prior to Wednesday's game against the Mets, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
After Betts was placed on the list Tuesday, manager Dave Roberts suggested that the six-time All-Star would be back with the team Wednesday, likely as the Dodgers' starting shortstop. However, Betts has elected to take another day to spend with his family, and Roberts relayed that the 30-year-old could remain away from the club for Thursday's game against the Cubs, too, per Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com. With Miguel Rojas (hamstring) joining Gavin Lux (knee) on the injured list Wednesday and Chris Taylor (side) still considered day-to-day, Betts could still end up making his first career start at shortstop if he rejoins the team Friday in Chicago.
