Cody Bellinger’s right shoulder has a tendency to pop in and out of its socket. It happened once in 2018 and then again last season when he dived to try to stop a grounder while playing first base. In both instances, Bellinger didn’t need to go on the injured list and missed only minimal time, though the 2019 incident did spell the end of his time as a first baseman.
It happened again in Sunday night’s Game 7 between the Dodgers and Braves, but not while trying to make a spectacular defensive play. Bellinger dislocated the bothersome shoulder while celebrating a home run.
