Cubs roster move: Cody Bellinger activated from injured list, Matt Mervis optioned

Cubs center fielder Cody Bellinger was injured making this spectacular catch in Houston last month [VIDEO].

At first it was said he was “day to day,” but eventually he went on the injured list with a left knee contusion. He’s missed nearly a month of MLB action.

Today, the Cubs activated Bellinger from the injured list and optioned Matt Mervis to Triple-A Iowa. Bellinger is in tonight’s lineup, playing first base.

Bellinger got off to a terrible start but then had a hot streak which had cooled off at the time he was injured.
