Team hoping for minimal IL stay Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday he's optimistic that Bellinger (hamstring) will be ready to return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible June 22, Bill Plunkett...
Impact Roberts was previously hopeful that the tightness Bellinger experienced in his left hamstring last Friday wouldn't result in a trip to the IL, so fantasy players may want to take the manager's comments with a grain of salt. The IL stint is the second of the season for Bellinger, who was sidelined for nearly two months with a hairline fracture in his left fibula before returning to action May 29. While Bellinger is on the shelf, Mookie Betts and Chris Taylor are expected to share duties in center field, which should help open up more playing time in the corner outfield for Zach McKinstry and Matt Beaty.

Dodgers' Bellinger returns to IL with left hamstring strain
Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger is returning to the injured list with a left hamstring strainJUNE 16, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Moves to injured list Bellinger was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with left hamstring tightness, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
Impact Manager Dave Roberts indicated earlier in the day Bellinger was expected to miss his fifth consecutive contest Wednesday, so it's not a major surprise to see the outfielder landing on the shelf. Bellinger will be eligible to be activated sometime next week, though it's unclear when he'll be ready to play.

Impact The 25-year-old hasn't seen the field since exiting Friday's contest with a left hamstring issue, and he's not expected to return to action until at least Friday's series opener at Arizona. Bellinger hit in the batting cage and did some running Tuesday, but he could be headed for the injured list if he doesn't illustrate some improvement within the next day or two.

Out as expected Tuesday Bellinger (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact The outfielder's absence from Tuesday's lineup comes as no surprise, as it was reported Monday that he wouldn't return until Wednesday at the very earliest. A trip to the injured list remains a possibility for Bellinger, though he can remain considered day-to-day until the Dodgers provide further update.

Return to injured list possible Bellinger (hamstring) isn't expected to return before Wednesday and could wind up returning to the injured list, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Bellinger missed most of April and May with a broken fibula and had been back in action for less than two weeks when he was pulled from Friday's game against the Rangers due to tightness in his left hamstring. The Dodgers previously expressed optimism that he'd return Sunday, but he hasn't made the desired progress and will be at minimum three days behind that schedule. Whether or not he lands on the injured list will depend on his progress over the next day or two.

Remains sidelined Bellinger (hamstring) will remain on the bench for Monday's game against the Phillies, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Dodgers previously indicated that Bellinger would return to the lineup Sunday, so the fact that he's still out Monday is potentially cause for concern. He'll miss his third straight game, with Mookie Betts again sliding to center field and Zach McKinstry starting in right.

Sitting again Sunday Bellinger (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against Texas.
Impact Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that he expected Bellinger to return to the starting nine Sunday, so the center fielder's absence is somewhat surprising. That said, Roberts has indicated that Bellinger is feeling better and that the hamstring issue seems to be minor, so the team could just be taking a cautious approach to his return. According to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, Roberts said that Bellinger could be available off the bench Sunday in a pinch-hitting capacity, which would seem to leave the door open for the 25-year-old to rejoin the lineup Monday against Philadelphia.

Expected back Sunday Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that he expects Bellinger to return to the lineup for Sunday's series finale against Texas, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Impact Bellinger is not in the starting lineup Saturday, but Roberts's latest update suggests that the outfielder's hamstring is feeling much better. The 25-year-old is tentatively slated to be back in the starting nine Sunday.

Not in starting lineup Saturday Bellinger (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Rangers, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
Impact Bellinger exited Friday's game with what was initially thought to be a leg cramp, but further update indicated that his exit could be due to a more serious hamstring issue. He'll sit the middle game of the series against Texas, with the Dodgers likely to provide further update later Saturday. Mookie Betts will shift to center field as Zach McKinstry takes over in right field.

Day-to-day with hamstring tightness Bellinger was pulled from Friday's win over the Rangers after feeling tightness in his left hamstring during an at-bat, Michael J. Duarte of NBC LA reports.
Impact Initial reports suggested that Bellinger may be dealing with only a cramp, so the follow-up news of the departure being related to his hamstring is more concerning. There is no word yet on the severity of the issue or the potential for missed time, thus he should be considered day-to-day for now. Bellinger had previously been scheduled to receive the day off Saturday, and he is expected to be re-evaluated at some point during the day.
