[madducks]

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Cody Bellinger underwent a scan on Thursday that revealed a hairline fracture in his left fibula.

Bellinger was already on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 6, with what was thought to be a left calf contusion.

Bellinger was injured last Monday April 5 when he was spiked in the calf on a play at first base.

4-6 weeks would be normal, but I've heard he'll only be out two weeks.

I don't care how "minor" they may think it'll be, it's still technically a broken leg. It'll take time to heal up and THEN he's got to get back into baseball shape...

Gallen has a hairline fracture in his pitching forearm and he came back quick. The range of cracks is pretty wide. If it is minor, it is possible he will be back pretty quick.

Ha. My wife asks at what age do men stop making puerile jokes, and I tell her I'll know when I get there. She will be sad to learn that men well into their 50s and beyond still do so.

Gallen was still out for over three weeks, so I can't buy 2 weeks at all, especially when Bellinger has to run and jump on that leg.

Agree. Yeah, he's got access to the best healing techniques money can buy, but still....two weeks seems pretty low.

Nah, he would have just contrived to have their games canceled for three weeks.
