Dodgers' Cody Bellinger dislocated shoulder during home run celebration

The Los Angeles Dodgers have reached the World Series for the third time in four seasons, and they can thank Cody Bellinger for that. 

Bellinger hit a monster, tie-breaking home run that ended up being the difference-maker in Game 7 of the National League Division Series against the Atlanta Braves on Sunday, and he may have celebrated a bit too hard with teammate Enrique Hernandez. 

"I hit (Enrique's) shoulder a little too hard, and my shoulder popped out," Bellinger said after Game 7. "So I had to go back in the training room and pop it back in, and I was ready to play some defense."

Bellinger has had a solid postseason thus far, averaging .250 at the plate with three home runs and 10 RBI on 11 hits.

The Dodgers will need him to come up big once again in the World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays, and it seems like he's up for the challenge.
