Dodgers: Cody Bellinger Held Out of Starting Lineup Against Diamondbacks

Amid a 1-14 slump, and with only 5 hits in 31 at-bats this season, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts opted to give reigning NL MVP Cody Bellinger Saturday night off in Phoenix. Earlier on Saturday, Doc explained his reasoning why.

Dave Roberts says that Cody Bellinger is fine — he wanted to be in the lineup but Doc says he wants to give him a day and get Matt Beaty in the lineup.

So yes, Belli is fine.
