The Dodgers were supposed to be giving Cody Bellinger some time off. In the middle of a wildly terrible 0-for-24 slide, Dave Roberts admitted Friday that they were giving Belli time off. Doc also said that Bellinger would NOT be in the lineup on Saturday after getting Friday night off as well.
That proved to be relatively inaccurate. The Dodgers released their lineup for Saturday’s game, and Belli was right there in the 7th spot and playing out in centerfield. That was a little different than the game plan that Roberts had previously laid out.
