Cody Bellinger Sitting Against Left-Hander
1 year agoChicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger is not in the team's starting lineup on Friday against the Baltimore Orioles and left-hander Cole Irvin. Bellinger returned from the injured list on Thursday and went 1-for-3 with a double, RBI, run scored, walk and a strikeout in the team's 7-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates, and now he'll take a seat for a day of rest. The 27-year-old left-handed slugger has looked rejuvenated in Chicago so far in 2023, as he's hitting .272 (40-for-147) with 10 doubles, a triple, seven home runs, 21 RBI, nine stolen bases and 30 runs scored in 38 games. Christopher Morel is getting the start in center field on Friday and is hitting third in the batting order against Irvin and the O's.
