Cody Bellinger Returns From Illness
3 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger (illness) is back in center field and is hitting seventh on Thursday night against Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Humberto Castellanos. Bellinger was scratched from the lineup due to a non-COVID-19 illness on Tuesday and he also missed Wednesday's contest. The 26-year-old left-handed slugger has continued to be an all-or-nothing hitter at the plate this year after hitting under .200 with only 10 long balls in 95 games in 2021. He's currently slashing just .213/.285/.407 with five home runs, 15 RBI, 19 runs scored and six stolen bases in 41 games. Despite high swing-and-miss rates, Bellinger remains attractive due to his power/speed profile in the best lineup in baseball.
