Cody Bellinger out for Dodgers on Sunday due to food poisoning
Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger is not in Sunday's lineup against the San Franciso Giants due to a case of food poisoning.
What It Means:
Kike Hernandez will play first base and bat cleanup versus Giants southpaw Ty Blach, but it's not clear whether or not Bellinger will be available off the Dodgers' bench. He's slashing .250/.294/.344 with 1 home run, 3 RBI, 4 runs scored, 2 walks, and 7 strikeouts through eight games.
Bellinger is averaging 7.8 FanDuel points per game this season. numberFire's models project him to bat .257 with 33 home runs, 92 RBI, 77 runs scored, and 33 steals in 561 plate appearances over the remainder of the season.
