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. Bellinger is hitting eighth against the Atlanta Braves and left-handed starter Max Fried. It'll be Bellinger's first start of the series in the outfield after starting three games at first base. 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.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder and first baseman Cody Bellinger isn't in the starting lineup for the first game of the National League Championship Series. The 26-year-old is hitting .294 with a .368 on-base percentage in 19 plate appearances this postseason, but he'll move to the bench on Saturday. Los Angeles is starting Albert Pujols at first base with Mookie Betts, Chris Taylor, and AJ Pollock starting from right to left in the outfield against the Atlanta Braves and left-hander Max Fried.

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman/outfielder Cody Bellinger is back in the team's starting lineup for Game 4 of the NLDS against the San Francisco Giants. He'll be batting seventh in the order and playing first base. The 26-year-old started each of the first two games of the series with righties pitching for the Giants, but he remained on the bench for Game 3 as lefty Alex Wood was on the mound. 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.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger is not in the starting lineup for the team's season finale against left-hander Brett Anderson and the Milwaukee Brewers. Chris Taylor is getting the start in center field in the game. The left-handed Bellinger has struggled against just about all pitchers this year, but he's been much worse against lefties than he has against righties. 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. The 25-year-old is hitting .158 with a .237 on-base percentage, nine home runs, and a pair of stolen bases in 338 plate appearances this season. 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.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger (ribs) is back in the lineup Tuesday and batting eighth against Antonio Senzatela and the host Colorado Rockies. The 26-year-old missed a few games with a non-displaced fracture to his left rib cage. Injuries have plagued the former NL MVP this season, and it has shown when he is at the plate. Bellinger is hitting a disappointing .159/.237/.291 on the year and hasn't done much against Senzatela, getting one hit in five at-bats against the right-handed pitcher.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger isn't in Friday's lineup. The Dodgers will take on the San Diego Padres and right-hander Joe Musgrove but will do so without Bellinger, who is hitting .158 with a .232 on-base percentage, nine home runs, and a pair of stolen bases in 315 plate appearances this season. The 25-year-old had previously started the Dodgers' last five games. Los Angeles will instead start Gavin Lux, Chris Taylor, and Mookie Betts from left to right in the outfield on Friday. Taylor and Betts are likely rostered in most leagues, leaving Lux as the only potential streaming option for fantasy managers. Given the matchup with Musgrove, you're probably better off looking elsewhere for streaming help.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger is on the bench for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves and left-hander Max Fried. Bellinger is batting .172 with a .247 on-base percentage, nine home runs, and a pair of stolen bases in 291 plate appearances this season. The Dodgers will go with AJ Pollock, Chris Taylor, and Mookie Betts from left to right in the outfield against Atlanta. Taylor and Betts are likely rostered in most leagues, but Pollock is worth a look as a streaming option in any leagues he isn't currently rostered in. The 33-year-old is batting .297 with a .354 on-base percentage, 16 home runs, and nine stolen bases in 379 plate appearances this season.

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman/outfielder Cody Bellinger got off to a strong start to the month of August. He recorded hits in 11 of his first 13 games of the month, a stint that included four home runs and five doubles. However, he's cooled off over the past week, going just 1-for-16 over his past five games. It's been a nightmare season for Bellinger, who is slashing .174/.258/.336 with nine home runs and 31 RBI over 66 games on the year. Fantasy managers who can't afford to continue waiting for a Bellinger turnaround can consider dropping him for someone who is producing more consistently right now.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger, who hit a tie-breaking double in the 10th inning Saturday night to lift the team to a 2-1 victory over the New York Mets, is showing signs of a turnaround to his dismal season. Bellinger is slashing .259/.310/.778 over his past seven games. Fantasy managers should remain patient with the 26-year-old former MVP, who is batting .183 with nine home runs and 29 RBI on the year. He is still capable of posting big numbers down the stretch as part of a potent offense.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger went 2-for-5 with a pair of two-run home runs in Wednesday's victory versus the Philadelphia Phillies. Bellinger has been having a disappointing season, but he is finally starting to turn the corner and has now hit the ball in seven consecutive games with four homers during that span. Manager Dave Roberts said last week that Bellinger would mostly play against right-handers, but with Bellinger heating up and outfielder Mookie Betts (hip) on the injured list, Bellinger should remain in the lineup for now. Bellinger is now hitting .183 with nine home runs and 28 RBI.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger went 1-for-4 with a two-run home in Sunday's victory versus the Los Angeles Angels. Manager Dave Roberts said on Saturday that Bellinger would mostly play against right-handers moving forward, but he got the start on Sunday with a lefty on the mound and outfielder Mookie Betts (hip) sitting with a hip injury. Bellinger has now homered in two consecutive games and is now hitting .175 with seven home runs and 24 RBI. Bellinger has been a major disappointment for managers this season, but he should still be rostered in all formats.
