Cody Bellinger suffered fractured ribs in the game April 23 against Houston at Wrigley Field. The aftermath of the play is depicted above.
Here’s the entire play [VIDEO].
It didn’t look too bad at the time and Bellinger actually stayed in the game for a couple of innings before departing. He said he felt all right after the game and X-rays were negative, but an MRI done later showed the fracture.
Fortunately, Bellinger hasn’t been out too long and the Cubs have managed to fill in for him admirably with Mike Tauchman and Pete Crow-Armstrong.
