A wild slider in on Cody Bellinger’s hands Wednesday night delivered a blow to the Cubs’ offense, Bellinger’s momentum and the team’s trade deadline options in one fell swoop.

The Cubs put Bellinger on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a fracture in his left middle finger and recalled outfielder Alexander Canario.

“It’s just so frustrating,” Bellinger said. “I like playing every day and making the adjustments from the previous day. … I will do whatever I can to make sure when I am healthy, I’ll be ready to roll.
