Needing 'a little bit of a reset,' Los Angeles Dodgers bench struggling outfielder Cody Bellinger

MILWAUKEE -- Cody Bellinger, the 2019 NL MVP whose production has fallen off dramatically since, was benched by the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Bellinger might sit out the final three games of the team's series at Milwaukee.

"I just wanted to give him a little bit of a reset," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "He's been grinding a lot."

Bellinger is batting .206 with 15 homers and 50 RBIs. He started in center field Monday night against the Brewers, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts, and has two hits in his last 19 at-bats.
