It’s remarkable to think the Los Angeles Dodgers are 40 games over .500 despite getting minimal production from Cody Bellinger.
It’s been tough to watch. Has the league finally figured out how to neutralize Bellinger’s abnormally long swing? Or is this merely the season from hell and he’ll return to All-Star form in 2022?
Nobody knows, and that’s the most frustrating part.
However, Dave Roberts might’ve provided an explanation for Bellinger’s struggles while addressing the media before Saturday’s game.
During the presser, Roberts dropped a mini bomb on Bellinger’s health, saying the former NL MVP is dealing with a non-displaced fracture in his ribs that he suffered in a recent outfield collision with Gavin Lux.
