Cody Bellinger returns to Cubs and plays 1B. But how long before he goes back to the outfield? JDietzSports has the story from Wrigley Field.
Over the past month, the Cubs have most definitely missed Cody Bellinger's powerful bat in the lineup and his stalking presence in center field.
"Some of the stuff that he yells out of the dugout at times is pretty entertaining," said manager David Ross."You guys should mic him up really quick. It's a unique mentality coming from a guy that's a great competitor, who has a great way about him.Bellinger sustained a knee bruise after making a spectacular catch off a drive by Kyle Tucker in Houston on May 15. He fell awkwardly after crashing into the wall and had to come out of the game.
Bellinger played first base against the Pirates and will likely stay there for the time being. He cleanly fielded a pair of ground balls in the third inning for outs. Palatine native Mike Tauchman remained in center field and batted leadoff. "The way I look at it is what's the best version of the Cubs as a team?" Ross said."That's offensively and defensively. be back in center field soon I'm sure. ...
It will also be interesting to see if Tauchman can keep up his impressive play. After all, the 32-year-old is only a career .238 hitter in 750 plate appearances.
