Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger (hand) was removed from Wednesday's game against the hosting Baltimore Orioles after being hit in the left hand by a pitch. Miles Mastrobuoni took over in right field in the seventh inning. Bellinger looked to be in a decent amount of discomfort before coming out of the contest, and the Cubs figure to have him head for X-rays to check for any potential fractures in his hand or fingers. Fantasy managers have to stay tuned and hold their breath that the 28-year-old star slugger isn't dealing with a significant injury after he's further evaluated. After going 2-for-3 with his fifth stolen base of the year on Wednesday against Baltimore, Bellinger is now slashing .269/.331/.410 with nine home runs, 37 RBI, and 39 runs scored over 312 at-bats this season. Pete Crow-Armstrong is the next man up on Chicago's depth chart in center field, and he would see a bump in playing time if Bellinger needs to go on the injured list.UPDATE: Bellinger hurt his left middle finger on the hit-by-pitch and felt he couldn't throw a baseball, which is why he was pulled from the game. Manager Craig Counsell said Bellinger is going to get testing on his finger.
Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger came up clutch in Wednesday's win over the hosting Tampa Bay Rays, blasting his ninth home run of the season. For a Cubs team that was just 5-15 over the last 20 games, Bellinger gave them a lift after crushing a go-ahead three-run homer off Rays left-hander Garrett Cleavinger to right-center field to give the team a 4-2 lead in the seventh inning. The 28-year-old star slugger is starting to look like his 2023 self over the past month or so, hitting .293 with three homers, 15 RBI, 14 runs scored, and three stolen bases in 32 games since returning from the injured list on May 7. Settled in as Chicago's everyday No. 3 batter, Bellinger sports five-category fantasy upside in this formidable lineup.
Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger was 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. It was Bellinger's first homer since May 10.

The former MVP has also tallied eight home runs, 26 RBI, 19 runs scored and one stolen base in 2024.
