Former Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder and current Chicago Cubs star Cody Bellinger suffered a fractured rib after running into the Wrigley Field outfield wall.
Former Dodgers MVP Cody Bellinger is hitting the injured list with the Chicago Cubs after suffering a fractured rib. Bellinger, 28, suffered the injury on Tuesday while playing outfield at Wrigley Field.
In the top of the fourth inning, Houston Astros catcher Yainer Diaz hit a ball to left-center field. Bellinger went back to catch it, and ran into the wall at Wrigley Field.Bellinger was forced to exit the game, and is now going on the injured list with a fractured rib. In his place, Cubs top prospect Pete-Crow Armstrong is being called up.
Bellinger had a breakout season with the Cubs last year, winning National League Comeback Player of the Year, but was off to a slow start this year before finally getting things going last week. The 2019 MVP with L.A. was riding an eight-game hitting streak, and was finally looking like the player that earned the three-year, $80 million contract this offseason.
However, now Bellinger will be sidelined for the foreseeable future, which hurts both him and the 14-9 Cubs. The Dodgers don't see the Cubs again until September, so Bellinger should have ample time to return for that series.Will Shohei Ohtani Play Outfield for the Dodgers in 2024?
