Dodgers News: Doc Answers Whether or Not MVP Cody Bellinger Will Ever Return

One of the big storylines so far this Dodgers season has been a few lineup mainstays struggling to find it at the plate. Max Muncy and Justin Turner headline a grouping of LA All-Stars who have yet to find their grove offensively. But that group also includes 2019 NL MVP Cody Bellinger.

Since the start of the 2020 season, Bellinger owns a .649 OPS and a .200 batting average. His 25.2% strikeout is second behind Chris Taylor (29.5%). Last season was particularly dreadful as Cody was working his way back from offseason shoulder surgery and suffered a significant leg injury that caused him to miss 46 games in April and May.
