As our Alex Perez wrote yesterday, Roberts indicated their returns will send Cody Bellinger to the minors.
While those players may be returning, Andre Ethier isn’t close. He told David Vassegh he’s started swinging the bat again, however.

Despite the injuries, L.A. is off to a 12-12 start. The rotation and lineup have been inconsistent, but perhaps the return of several bats will mitigate the offensive concerns.
