Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger (groin) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bellinger is out of the starting lineup for the fourth straight game, but he'll be available off the bench and is expected to be back in there for the series opener against the New York Mets on Thursday. Chris Taylor is playing center field and batting fifth, while Kevin Pillar is in left field and hitting eighth against Pirates left-hander Jose Quintana. Bellinger is hitting just .221 on the season with a .291 on-base percentage in 44 games, but he's gone 11-for-34 (.324) in the last 14 days and has six stolen bases on the year. The power will come, but his swing-and-miss tendencies won't help your team's batting average.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger (illness) is back in center field and is hitting seventh on Thursday night against Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Humberto Castellanos. Bellinger was scratched from the lineup due to a non-COVID-19 illness on Tuesday and he also missed Wednesday's contest. The 26-year-old left-handed slugger has continued to be an all-or-nothing hitter at the plate this year after hitting under .200 with only 10 long balls in 95 games in 2021. He's currently slashing just .213/.285/.407 with five home runs, 15 RBI, 19 runs scored and six stolen bases in 41 games. Despite high swing-and-miss rates, Bellinger remains attractive due to his power/speed profile in the best lineup in baseball.

Mookie Betts, who was originally set to have a scheduled day off on Tuesday, is remaining in the lineup. It's been a mixed bag start to the year for Bellinger.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger put together a strong performance during Sunday's matchup against the San Diego Padres. The lefty power swinging outfielder went 2-for-4 with two home runs during Sunday's victory. It appears the former NL MVP has found his groove again. Thus far, Bellinger is hitting .273/.333/.582 with four home runs and three stolen bases this season. Fantasy managers are hopeful to see more performances like this all season long.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger is getting the day off on Tuesday as the team takes on the Atlanta Braves. Chris Taylor will be covering center field for the game. Bellinger has been showing some promising signs at the plate early on this year. Through his first 10 games, he's gone 10-for-36 with two home runs, two doubles, five walks and 12 strikeouts. He has a 45.8% hard-hit rate and a 12.5% barrel rate. Last year, those numbers were 34.4% and 7.1%, respectively. It's of course a small sample size for the 26-year-old, but early returns are certainly encouraging.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger is having a bounce-back season at the plate so far, batting .278 with a .366 on-base percentage, two home runs, and three stolen bases in 41 plate appearances so far. Bellinger hit just .165 with a .240 on-base percentage, 10 home runs, and three stolen bases in 350 plate appearances during the 2021 season. On any other team, he'd probably be hitting near the top of the order, but Bellinger has mostly hit seventh or eighth this season in a stacked Dodgers lineup.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger struck out four times in a Cactus League game on Saturday and has 14 strikeouts in 19 spring at-bats so far. "Tonight was the first time I felt like things sped up on him. We just got to go back to work and keep grinding," manager Dave Roberts said. As of now, Bellinger's regular season role as a starting outfielder is not in danger, according to Roberts. Fantasy managers should always take spring results with a grain of salt, but Bellinger is coming off an injury plagued season in 2021 in which he hit just .165 with 10 home runs and three steals in 350 plate appearances. The 26-year-old lefty slugger still has plenty of power and resides in the best lineup in baseball, but his stock is down as we approach Opening Day.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and outfielder Cody Bellinger agreed to a one-year, $17 million deal to avoid salary arbitration before the league's Dec. 1 lockout, according to sources familiar with the agreement. The 26-year-old is coming off the worst season of his career, slashing .165/.240/.302 with 10 home runs in 95 games, but he played much better in the postseason. Bellinger is only two seasons removed from winning the National League MVP in 2019 by slashing .305/.406/.629 with 47 home runs. The deal won't be guaranteed until Bellinger makes the Opening Day roster, but he won't hit the free-agent market now until after the 2023 season. A hairline fracture in his left leg, a rib fracture and a hamstring strain caused him to miss time last year, so with better health, fantasy managers should expect better production in 2022.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder and first baseman Cody Bellinger is getting the start in center field for the fifth game of the National League Championship Series on Thursday night.

In 96 plate appearances during the regular season against left-handed pitching during the regular season, the 26-year-old hit .116 with a .208 on-base percentage and one home run.

Bellinger has gone 1-for-7 with a double, two RBI, a run and five strikeouts so far this series. He's 1-for-12 with four strikeouts over his career against the Giants' Game 4 starter, Anthony DeSclafani.

Chris Taylor is getting the start in center field in the game.

He has a .107/.202/.167 slash line against southpaws and a .183/.252/.349 slash line against righties. We could see him enter the game on Sunday as a pinch-hitter if an opportunity against a righty reliever presents itself.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger isn't in Friday's lineup for a matchup with left-handed starter Eric Lauer and the Milwaukee Brewers. The 25-year-old is hitting .162 with a .238 on-base percentage, 10 home runs, and two stolen bases in 344 plate appearances this season. AJ Pollock, Chris Taylor, and Mookie Betts are starting from left to right in the outfield against the Brewers. Pollock could be worth a look as a streaming option on Friday. The veteran is hitting .302 with a .360 on-base percentage, 20 home runs, and nine stolen bases in 411 plate appearances this season. He's batting sixth on Friday.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger isn't starting on Wednesday against the San Diego Padres and left-hander Ryan Weathers.

AJ Pollock, Gavin Lux, and Mookie Betts are starting from left to right in the outfield for the Dodgers against the Padres. Fantasy managers in search of streaming help should consider Pollock. The outfielder is batting .299 with a .359 on-base percentage, 17 home runs, and nine stolen bases in 404 plate appearances this season.

The Los Angeles Dodgers activated outfielder Cody Bellinger (ribs) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Albert Pujols was placed on the injured list without an injury designation in a corresponding move. Bellinger is not part of the team's starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Yu Darvish and the San Diego Padres. The 26-year-old missed the minimum 10 days due to a left rib fracture. He was slashing just .073/.174/.122 through September prior to the injury. It's been a train wreck season for the slugger and fantasy managers are best off getting away from him in the final week of the year.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger (ribs) has been scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The Dodgers placed their struggling outfielder on the 10-day injured list due to a left rib fracture. The move is retroactive to September 18. Fellow outfielder Luke Raley was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Bellinger had missed the team's previous two games due to the rib fracture, but was being listed as day-to-day and was initially part of the lineup on Tuesday. Instead, Raley is starting in right field with Mookie Betts in center field. Bellinger could still return from the injured list with six games left in the year, but he has no business on fantasy rosters in most season-long leagues at this point.
