Injuries have been a recurring theme for Bellinger over the last year, going back to a surgery he had on his right shoulder last November after injuring it in a celebration with Kiké Hernández in the National League Championship Series.While Bellinger was ready for opening day, he said he didn’t have his normal strength after spending the winter rehabbing.
Two subsequent injured list stints earlier this season — one for a hairline fracture in his leg, and another due to hamstring tightness — didn’t help either. “I haven’t ever dealt with injuries, really, in the past,” he said, adding: “It’s been a grind for sure. It’s not fun. But at the end of the day, I have confidence in myself, belief in myself. And with the adjustments and the time and all that stuff, I feel good. As bad as it’s been, I still feel really good and confident and excited. I’m in a good spot.”
Oh yeah, and about his new buzz cut: Bellinger said it was a spur of the moment decision he made this week while visiting his hometown barber back in Phoenix, deciding to get rid of the long shaggy hair he’s had for most of his big-league career.Even when they don’t play their best, the resilient Dodgers find ways to win and stay on the heels of the San Francisco Giants for the NL West title.
“I sat down in the chair and I was like, ‘Just buzz it,’” Bellinger said. “This is what happened. I really like it.”“I mean, hey, it wasn’t me. It had to have been the hair,” Bellinger joked about his season-long slump. “But honestly, it was getting annoying. Now I feel fresh.”
Like no.
No thank you
