Cody Bellinger Fantasy

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger (shoulder) popped his shoulder out of socket during a celebration with Kike Hernandez after his go-ahead home run in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series against the Braves on Sunday. The training staff popped Bellinger's shoulder back into place and he returned to the field in the eighth inning. The left-handed hitter was 4-for-23 with nine strikeouts entering Game 7 of the NLCS, but he broke out with his huge game-winning home run. His shoulder felt sore but functional, and he should be fine for Game 1 of the World Series against the Rays on Tuesday, but it will be something to watch heading into the Fall Classic.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger was 3-for-5 with a homer, three RBI, and two runs scored during Friday's 15-6 win over the Colorado Rockies. The homer was Bellinger's first in September, as he has endured a disappointing 2020 campaign. He owns a .228/.307/.430 slash line to go along with 11 homers, 27 RBI, and six stolen bases. He failed to live up to the MVP hype of his 2019 season, but expectations will be high again headed into the 2021 campaign. Maybe he will be able to go on a hot streak right before the postseason begins.

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman/outfielder Cody Bellinger is once again batting sixth during Thursdays contest against Colorado and left-hander Kyle Freeland, the sixth time in the last seven games that he has held that spot in the lineup. Bellinger is yet to hit a home run during the month of September, having slashed just .216/.293/.405 on the season. On the heels of his National League MVP campaign, fantasy managers certainly expected much more production, as the 88 OPS+ that Bellinger has compiled makes him a middle-of-the-road fantasy asset. He will retain value moving forward due to his upside, but he can no longer be seen as an elite DFS or season-long commodity in 2020.
