CINCINNATI – After Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger went through an extensive workout that included hitting and throwing Monday, the team reinstated him from the 15-day IL before its series opener against the Reds.
They had an open active roster spot after trading third baseman Christopher Morel to the Rays the day before. Third baseman Isaac Paredes, who the team acquired for Morel and pitching prospects Hunter Bigge and Ty Johnson, was expected to arrive in Cincinnati later on Monday and wouldn’t be activated until Tuesday.
