Cubs OF Cody Bellinger (fractured rib) lands on IL

The Chicago Cubs placed two-time All-Star Cody Bellinger on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a fractured right rib.

The Cubs called up their top prospect, Pete Crow-Armstrong, in a corresponding move. Cubs manager Craig Counsell announced the moves in a radio interview.

Bellinger was injured during Tuesday night’s win over the Houston Astros after running into the center field wall chasing down a ball. He left after the fifth inning with what the team called bruised ribs. Bellinger hit a two-run homer in three at bats before departing.

Bellinger, in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak, is up to .226 on the season with five home runs and 17 RBIs.

He’s a lifetime .257 hitter with 183 career home runs for the Los Angeles Dodgers (2017-22) and Cubs.

Crow-Armstrong, 22, made his major league debut last September and went 0-for-14 with three walks. He’s batting .203 with two home runs, five doubles and seven RBIs at Triple-A Iowa this season.
