CODY BELLINGER NEWS

Another two-hit game Bellinger went 2-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's win over the Angels.

Impact Bellinger's bat appears to be waking up from a season-long slumber -- the reigning NL MVP has collected four hits in his last eight at-bats to bring his batting average near the Mendoza line at .195. The slugger's average hasn't been above .200 since an 0-for-4 performance dropped it to .192 on July 29.

Goes yard twice Bellinger went 2-for-4 with two home runs in Friday's win over the Angels.

Impact Both of Bellinger's homers were two-run shots -- he took starter Patrick Sandoval deep in the sixth with a bomb to right field, and he later added another two-run bomb off reliever Ryan Buchter in the eighth. This two-homer day should boost Bellinger's confidence, as the 2019 NL MVP is only hitting for .181 this season. He seems to be turning things around, however, as he has recorded hits in four of his last six games.

Plates RBI in defeat Bellinger went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's loss against the Padres.

Impact The entire Dodgers offense struggled against the Padres -- notching just four hits in 30 at-bats -- and Bellinger produced the team's lone RBI on a single that scored Mookie Betts in the bottom of the first. Bellinger is off to a disappointing start, as he is hitting just .176 with a .512 OPS in 68 at-bats. He might be heating up, however, as he has recorded hits in four of his last six games, going 5-for-24 in that stretch.

Launches second homer Bellinger went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to San Diego on Monday.

Impact Bellinger has started the season slowly, but he appears to be coming around with two homers in his last two contests. Monday's long ball was a 409-foot shot to right field against Padres closer Kirby Yates in the ninth inning that brought Los Angeles to within one run. Despite the recent power surge, Bellinger is hitting only .159 (7-for-44) on the season.

Expected to start through Wednesday Bellinger will be in the lineup for each of the Dodgers' contests prior to their off-day Thursday, Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Impact Bellinger was given a day off Saturday in response to his slow start to the campaign, but he returned to the lineup Sunday and belted his first home run of the season. The Dodgers have no intent on sitting last year's National League MVP during their upcoming three-game series against the Padres, having already committed to including Bellinger in the lineup for each contest. Despite Bellinger's two-run blast Sunday, his slash line sits at a disappointing .150/.209/.250.
