The 31-year-old Betts will not require surgery, Roberts added, though there is no specific timetable for a return.
The Dodgers (44-27) currently are eight games clear atop the NL West, with the San Francisco Giants (35-37) 8.5 games behind.

When asked after the game what he will do next, Betts said, "I'll be watching the boys and cheering them on. Other than that, just kind of rest, maybe use it as a mental break and be ready to go whenever it heals up."
Roberts also added that 35-year-old Miguel Rojas is expected to fill in Betts' spot in the lineup.
After winning two of three games in their series against Kansas City, the Dodgers will next head to Colorado to meet the NL West-worst Rockies in a four-game set beginning Monday.
