MILWAUKEE—Mookie Betts welcomes a return to right field even though he believes he has shown he also can do a fine job at shortstop.

The eight-time All-Star came off the injured list Monday at Milwaukee, playing right field and batting second for the Los Angeles Dodgers after missing nearly two months with a broken left hand. Betts had spent most of this season playing shortstop—a new position for him—and hitting leadoff before his injury.
