When the Cubs were stringing together some good baseball, they were dealt another blow today. According to multiple reports, Cody Bellinger suffered a fracture in his left middle finger when he was hit on the hand by a pitch, prompting him to leave the game and undoubtedly resulting in an IL stint.
Bellinger is expected to be shut down through the MLB All-Star break next week and scheduled to begin range-of-motion testing the following week. This is an issue for the Cubs lineup, but it’s also an issue if Bellinger isn’t healthy when the trade deadline rolls around in a few weeks.
