Cody Bellinger, Mookie Betts Out Wednesday
3 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers outfielders Cody Bellinger (illness) and Mookie Betts are not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals. Bellinger will be out for the second straight game after he was scratched from Tuesday's lineup with a non-COVID-19 illness. Betts is getting a regular day of rest. Gavin Lux is in left field and hitting seventh, Chris Taylor is in center and batting fifth and Hanser Alberto is in right and hitting eighth against Nationals right-hander Erick Fedde on Wednesday. Bellinger has five homers on the year and six stolen bases, but he's hitting just .216 with a .288 on-base percentage in 40 games for LA. Betts, meanwhile, has been his usual solid self with a .292/.385/.578 slash line with a .963 OPS, a league-leading 12 home runs, 30 RBI, a league-leading 44 runs and three stolen bases in 40 games.
