3 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on Friday that outfielder Cody Bellinger's playing time will mostly come against right-handed pitchers the rest of the season. The Dodgers have a ridiculous amount of offensive talent and Bellinger seems to be the odd man at the moment. Bellinger will now become a platoon player and it is a big downfall from where he was entering this season. Bellinger has dealt with plenty of injuries this season and has been dismal at the plate when he has been healthy with a .168 batting average to go along with five home runs and 21 RBI in 179 at-bats. It's hard to drop someone with the history of Bellinger and managers have no choice other than to hope that he can turn his season around when he plays against righties.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller
