Dodgers center fielder Cody Bellinger is struggling at the plate again, so manager Dave Roberts said he won't be in the lineup Tuesday or Wednesday against the Brewers.
, the former most-valuable-player center fielder who, amid another up-and-down season, had started slumping again over the last week.But there was an acknowledgement that, with the slugger’s numbers dipping again, Roberts believed it was time to give the 27-year-old a midseason “reset,” telling Bellinger he would sit for the next couple of games.Freddie Freeman and Gavin Lux homered to back Julio Urias’ solid pitching as the Dodgers beat the Brewers 4-0 on Monday in Milwaukee.
“Last year, for sure, I was super internal, not having any fun,” said Bellinger, who has 16 home runs and 50 RBIs this season. “This year, I’ve had a lot more fun on an everyday basis. Just fine-tuning what makes me really good.”There have been glimpses of promise. He conceded he is probably pressing too, still trying to rediscover anything approaching his once-elite form at the plate.
“Very surprised,” Roberts said when asked about another disappointing season from Bellinger. “I think we all are. But I kind of just look at things of, this is where we’re at. … So for me, it’s just not helpful to look how we got here. I’m trying to figure out how we’re going to move forward with him.”
