The Los Angeles Dodgers called up Cody Bellinger from Triple-A Oklahoma City for his MLB debut last week in response to multiple injuries and lack of production from their outfielders. Bellinger’s time in the Majors was expected to be relatively short.
Los Angeles saw the return of Franklin Gutierrez on Tuesday, and Logan Forsythe and Joc Pederson may also come off the disabled list by the weekend. Scott Van Slyke was demoted to Oklahoma City as the corresponding roster move to reinstate Gutierrez.
That left Bellinger in the Majors, with Friday now looming as the next key date.
