Cody Bellinger is out of the lineup Saturday for the Dodgers, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports. Bellinger has a non-displaced rib fracture that he suffered when colliding with Gavin Lux during the Dodgers series versus the Diamondbacks. Bellinger has been awful this season and has suffered various injuries, with this rib displacement being the latest ailment.
Bellinger is batting a horrific .159 with only nine HRs and 34 RBI in 337 at-bats covering 89 games. This is a far cry from his former MVP campaign, and even when healthy may prove not to be in the starting lineup versus left-handed pitching.
