ARLINGTON, Texas – Cody Bellinger has provided flagship plays in midfield during this playoff and is a Gold Glove finalist for position in the National League
But he was transferred to the designated hitter for Game 4 of the World Series after waking up with a stiff lower back on Saturday morning
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Bellinger arrived at Globe Life Field for treatment and tried to move around the field and swing into the batting cage
This roster change came after Bellinger went ‘100% in the cage’ and Roberts got reassurance from Bellinger and the coaching staff that he would be able to handle the offensive side of the game
“I think it’s an everyday affair,” said Roberts “If the floor is, he can DH, that’s fine If tomorrow it relaxes, then he’ll be back in center field »
With Bellinger at DH, AJ Pollock was moved to center field This is the position Pollock played for most of his career until he was moved last season when Bellinger took over the field central Pollock started 15 games at center during the regular season
Roberts said he was considering moving Mookie Betts from right field to center field but dismissed him as it would mean a domino effect of the changes and « Mookie dominated right field »
