The 29-year-old former MVP can heat up in a hurry, and it looks like he could be primed for a big finish to the season. Bellinger's counting stats could also benefit from the addition of Isaac Paredes to the Chicago lineup.

Homers in return Bellinger (finger) went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Reds.

Cody Bellinger reinstated from injured list by Cubs

Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger was reinstated from the 10-day injured list before Monday’s game at Cincinnati

JULY 29 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Activated from injured list The Cubs activated Bellinger (finger) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Manager Craig Counsell had indicated Bellinger was likely to be activated in the coming days, but the 29-year-old came out of a hitting session so well Monday that the team opted to go ahead and return him to the active roster now. Bellinger is not in Monday's lineup against the Reds but will be available off the bench.

Impact Bellinger went through a long hitting program Monday and did some additional hitting during batting practice before the team's game in Cincinnati. That he's on the road trip would suggest Bellinger has a chance to return before the Cubs' series with the Reds ends Wednesday, although it's possible they'll wait for the start of a homestand Thursday. Bellinger has been shelved since mid-July with a fractured left middle finger.

JULY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Could return on road trip Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Wednesday that Bellinger (finger) could be activated as soon as the team's July 26-31 road trip, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Bellinger will do some hitting and throwing on the field Wednesday and it sounds like he might not require a rehab assignment before returning. He's been shelved since mid-July with a fractured left middle finger. Bellinger could wind up being a trade chip next week if the Cubs sell, and it looks like he'll have a good shot to play in some games prior to the deadline.

Gripping ball still problematic Bellinger (finger) is able to hit without much discomfort but is still having some trouble gripping a baseball, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact Bellinger is nearly two weeks removed from suffering a fractured left middle finger and the Cubs are encouraged with how he's progressed. It sounds like he could be ready to hit in a game before playing defense, but the team likely wants him to be able to do both before it clears him to return. Adding some intrigue to Bellinger's timetable -- which remains up in the air -- is that he is a possibility to be traded before the July 30 deadline.
