Rollie's Mustache
Exciting times. Would he play mostly OF? Maybe some CF with Pederson on the shelf?
alexgordonbeckham
He’s left-handed.
ABK99
What, a lefty dodger?
cvarneski
He will not be providing a right handed option at any point. Excited to see him so soon tho!
dodgerfan711
Bellinger is not right handed.
thinkblech
Nailed it on the callup, I’ll admit to being surprised for sure. Fingers crossed!
sportsdoctor
Interesting move. With Pederson out, I don’t see Bellinger playing CF (or a corner OF spot). Bellinger is a legitimate 1B prospect. As AGon continues to struggle, this may be transition time in Los Angeles for another young bat.

Bellinger is athletic enough to play the outfield. Just sticking him at 1B when there’s not a real need yet would be silly. He’ll see time in the outfield.
LADreamin
He’s capable of playing CF and LF. With Pederson on the DL and Toles going through a bit of a sophomore slump, he’ll be plugged into either spot. Dodgers need something to wake up those bats, we’ll see if this is it.

Urias n Bellinger, the future is now! Go Dodgers!
rjgoin
He’s puigs replacement.
bsim31
No he’s not. He’s the replacement for a horribly underperforming left field platoon and an injury replacement for Joc. Get your dumb hate out of here.
dodgerfan711
I think the FO realized to start putting the best product on the field. Taylor , bellinger and urias all need to be on the team.

Dodgers seem desperate

More than the Giants?
dodgerfan711
Padres fans here are more arrogant then giant fans and idk how thats possible. Bellinger was supposed to be ready in 2017 so how is calling someone up who is ready and tearing it up at AAA desperate?
LADreamin
Dodgers are making adjustments, every team makes them trying to catch lightning in a bottle. It’s one of the things that makes baseball great. We’ll be desperate if we still have a losing record come all star break.
BlueSkyLA
Desperate isn’t the right word, but we gotta admit, nothing else is working this year and this team needs a serious kick in the slats.

Greg Jeffries.
thegreatcerealfamine
And I suppose they were desperate with Seager! Grab some sun!
vtadave
Promoting a prospect is desperate? Cool story bro.
Wolf Hoffmann
Enjoy your 105 loses this year.
bastros88
a rock can out pitch the padres, the padres would win more games if the team didn’t even show up
theroyal19
I’m guessing Kazmir to the 60-day DL to open 40 man spot and maybe Fields sent down for active roster
Blue_Painted_Dreams_LA
No it’ll probably be Ethier and an OF sent down, most likely Toles or Eibner.
saredciders
Eibner, because Toles has already proven himself
Blue_Painted_Dreams_LA
But Kaz and Stewart will be options for who knows who else. I’m guessing Kaz heads way for Oaks if Oaks is needed.
amjr
Here’s hoping Bellinger does well and replaces Pederson in the OF. So tired of Pederson’s all-or-nothing approach at the plate.
Blue_Painted_Dreams_LA
No Pederson is their CF. it’s probably not a good time to point out that Bellinger has Kd at a 28% clip just as Pederson has.
Phattey
Looks like Andrew toles won’t be around too much longer
ReverieDays
What a shocker :p
padresfan
They didn’t necessarily hold firm on all that hit the majors
They traded one to Tampa
biasisrelitive
they did but he’s not the same kind of prospect as seager urias Bellinger
bluejays92
Good for Cody. I’ve been excited to see him for awhile now.
Cam
Great news. Will be expecting him to play OF primarily to patch up the holes there…but if he hits, I have zero doubt he’s going to eat into A-Gon’s playing time – and fair enough too, A-Gon is slowly but surely overcooked.
Blue_Spirit19
Who was removed from the 40 man? Did someone get moved to the 60-day DL or was someone DFAd?
saredciders
SCREW A-GON DODGER FANS, WE GOT SOMETHING WAY BETTER!
vinscully16
Good to see Bellinger get the call, looking forward to watching him play.
bballblk
Just when we thought the dodgers couldn’t get any worse against left handed pitching…
crazysull
Van Slyke is good as gone now
BlueSkyLA
Not for as long as Pederson remains on the DL. Ethier’s ETA is also unknown. When one or both of them are available the traffic jam will have to be resolved.
