Bellinger returns to IL

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed infielder/outfielder Cody Bellinger on the injured list with a left rib fracture, retroactive to Saturday. The team recalled outfielder Luke Raley.

Bellinger, 26, returns to the injured list for the third time this season. He also missed time with a left calf contusion and left hamstring tightness.

Bellinger has played in 89 games this year and is batting .159 with nine doubles, nine homers and 34 RBIS. The 2019 National League MVP has been with the Dodgers five seasons, batting a combined .257 with 107 doubles, 132 homers and 352 RBIS.

LASORDA’S WIDOW DEAD

Jo Lasorda, the widow of legendary Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda, died Monday. She was 91.

She died at her home, according to the Dodgers. No cause of death was given.

Tommy Lasorda, who died last January at age 93, won two World Series for the Dodgers during his Hall of Fame career.

The couple were married for 70 years.

GARVER BACK WITH TWINS

The Minnesota Twins reinstated catcher Mitch Garver from the injured list and shortstop Andrelton Simmons from the restricted list.

Garver, 30, has missed the past 25 games with tightness in his lower back. He is batting .242 with 13 homers and 29 RBIS in 61 games this season.

Simmons, 32, missed the weekend series in Toronto due to visa issues that prevented him from traveling to Canada.
