LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Cody Bellinger is still uncertain when he will return from a hairline fracture in his left leg.

Bellinger said Thursday that he feels “great,:” but the 2019 NL MVP must wait to return to the defending World Series champions’ lineup.

Bellinger was injured April 5 when Athletics reliever Reymin Guduan inadvertently spiked him at first base in Oakland. The injury was listed as a left calf injury, but the main problem is a hairline fracture in his fibula.

The Dodgers’ medical team initially saw only bruising and swelling in Bellinger’s calf, but the fracture was found by a CT scan after he reported pain in his leg.
