Where do the Dodgers play Mookie Betts when he returns from injury?

LA Times  

Mookie Betts, above working out before a game at Dodger Stadium in July, is getting closer to coming back from a broken hand. One of the greatest defensive right fielders in baseball history, Mookie Betts moved to second base last year because the Dodgers needed him to. But look at the players the Dodgers picked up before the trade deadline, examine their roster, and it’s clear Betts could help them more in his old position than at shortstop or second base. “So I don’t think … playing two different positions affects Mookie because, using his words, when he plays defense, he plays defense, and when he’s in the box, he’s focused on hitting.” Provided it wouldn’t adversely affect Betts as a hitter, returning to right field could allow the Dodgers to best maximize their roster. “Mookie told me time and time again, whatever it takes to make us the best ballclub, that’s what he’s willing to do,” Roberts said.
