Cubs' Cody Bellinger to Injured List; No. 1 Prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong Called Up

The Chicago Cubs received bad news about Cody Bellinger's rib injury that forced him out of Tuesday's win over the Houston Astros in the seventh inning.

Manager Craig Counsell told 670 The Score's Parkins & Spiegel Show that Bellinger will be placed on the injured list with a fractured rib.

"It's kind of unknown yet in terms of like when he'll return, but obviously, tough news," Counsell said of Bellinger's injury.

Counsell added Pete Crow-Armstrong, the No. 15 overall prospect in MLB, will be called up from Triple-A to take Bellinger's spot on the roster.
