ANAHEIM, Calif. – Cubs center fielder Cody Bellinger is heading to Arizona to get live batting practice at the team’s spring training complex starting Friday, manager David Ross announced.

“Then hopefully get off on a rehab assignment here really soon,” Ross said.

Bellinger (bruised left knee) worked out at Angel Stadium before the game Thursday and “felt really good” running the bases, according to Ross. Bellinger is scheduled to progress to sliding in Arizona.
