Cody Bellinger On Track To Return Saturday

J.P. Hoornstra confirmed that Cody Bellinger is on track to return on Saturday. The Los Angeles Dodgers have been without their center fielder since April 5. Although they’ve struggled at times without Bellinger, the Dodgers have found their rhythm, winning 12 of their last 14 games.

Bellinger’s injury was initially suspected to be a short-term ailment that wouldn’t keep him out of action for long. However, he plateaued early in his recovery, and further diagnostics were warranted. At that time, a hairline fracture was discovered, altering the trajectory of Bellinger’s rehabilitation.

Chris Taylor has taken over patrolling center field, with Mookie Betts and DJ Peters providing intermittent relief.
