Cody Bellinger goes yard in first game off the injured list

Cody Bellinger goes yard in first game off the injured list originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago

"Allow me to reintroduce myself."

That's Cody Bellinger, probably. The Cubs lefty stroked a ball into the Wrigley Field basket on Tuesday during his first game back at the Friendly Confines off the injured list.

Bellinger hadn't played in a game since April 23, when he crashed into the outfield wall attempting to make a catch in center field. He fractured two ribs from the incident, forcing him to go onto the 10-day injured list.

He now has six home runs on the season, accompanied by 17 RBIs, a .226 batting average and a .760 OPS.
