The Cardinals offense mustered only two hits combined and only four baserunners in the shutout loss. The 28-year-old outfielder has recorded only one hit in nine at-bats since returning from the injured list over the weekend.
Los Angeles Dodgers Fantasy Spin
Cody Bellinger blasted a three-run homer — his 37th round-tripper of the season — to power the Dodgers to an 8-0 victory over the Cardinals on Monday. Bellinger launched a 95-mph heater from Cardinals starter Michael Wacha into the right field seats in the opening frame to pull within two home runs of Brewers slugger Christian Yelich for the major-league lead this season. It was his lone hit in four at-bats in this one. The 24-year-old fantasy superstar owns a .325/.426/.675 triple-slash line with 90 runs scored, 88 RBI and nine stolen bases in 470 plate appearances
