How are Cody Bellinger, Justin Turner and More Former Dodgers Doing as We Head Into July?
In this story:
With the regular season officially halfway over, now is a good time to check in on how some former Dodgers are doing in other places.
Since the last update on the former Dodgers in the middle of June, some have turned their seasons around whereas others are finding themselves in trade rumors.
Batters:
Cody Bellinger, Chicago Cubs
.261/.325/.450, 7 HR, 22 RBI, 11 2B, 1 3B, 17 BB, 41 K, 10 SB. Bellinger missed a majority of May and June recovering from a knee injury. Before suffering the injury it looked like Bellinger was having a bounce back season for a Cubs team that wasn't competitive. Now that it appears the Cubs could be sellers at the deadline, Bellinger could be a player that gets moved.
Justin Turner, Boston Red Sox
.272/.346/.438, 11 HR, 41 RBI, 17 2B, 0 3B, 31 BB, 53 K, 3 SB
In the past month Turner has kept pace with his career average. The power for Turner, however, has disappeared as he only has one home run in the last 11 games.
Trea Turner, Philadelphia Phillies
.249/.304/.386, 8 HR, 29 RBI, 17 2B, 2 3B, 24 BB, 82 K, 17 SB
After an abysmal start to the season, Turner still hasn't figured himself out at the plate with the Phillies. He is on pace for the most strikeouts in his career and the worst batting average of his career.
Pitchers:
Tyler Anderson, Los Angeles Angels
74.2 IP, 5.54 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, 60 SO
Anderson has not had the same success that he had in his one year with the Dodgers. In the current Angels rotation, Anderson has the highest ERA.
Kenley Jansen, Boston Red Sox
27.1 IP, 3.29 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 32 SO, 16 Saves
Joining other former Dodgers, Justin Turner, Kikè Hernandez and Alex Verdugo, Jansen has continued to be his reliable self. In 19 opportunities, Jansen has only blown three saves this season.
Craig Kimbrel, Philadelphia Phillies
33.0 IP, 3.82 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, 53 SO, 12 Saves
Another Dodger who signed with Philly in the offseason, Kimbrel has been much better in the City of Brotherly Love as he was in LA. In save opportunities this season, Kimbel is perfect, going 12 for 12.
