(670 The Score) The Cubs have placed center fielder Cody Bellinger on the paternity list and recalled outfielder Nelson Velazquez from Triple-A Iowa, the club announced Tuesday afternoon.
Bellinger is hitting .300 with five homers, 15 RBIs and a .930 OPS in 21 games this season. Players can remain on the paternity list for up to three days.
Velazquez was 3-for-4 with a homer and four RBIs in two games for the Cubs earlier this season. He'll play center field in place of Bellinger on Tuesday evening when the Cubs host the Padres at Wrigley Field, and he'll bat ninth.
