The Cubs are placing Cody Bellinger on the 10-day injured list with a fractured left middle finger, the team announced on Thursday.

The team called up outfielder Alexander Canario from the Iowa Cubs in a reciprocating move.

During Wednesday night's game against the Orioles, Bellinger was hit by a pitch in the hand. He exited the game in what appeared to be a lot of pain.

Losing Bellinger is a huge blow for the Cubs, who have won five of their last six games. Bellinger is hitting .269 from the plate this season with a .742 OPS. He's hit nine home runs and 37 RBIs this season, too.
