Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger sustained fractures in two ribs on his right side, manager Craig Counsell revealed Wednesday.
Bellinger will be going on the 10-day injured list, and in a corresponding move, the team is recalling top prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong.
Bellinger hurt his ribs jumping into the brick outfield wall Tuesday in the Cubs’ 7-2 win against the Astros at Wrigley Field. He was chasing down a deep fly by Yainer Diaz in the fourth inning, but the ball hit the wall as he was trying to corral it.
Bellinger stayed in the game, eventually exiting before the top of the seventh inning.
