Good news, bad news for Dodgers fans … Cody Bellingersays he was still in pain on Monday after dislocating his shoulder Sunday night — but insists he’s “good to go” for the World Series.

“I just texted him a little bit ago, and he said he was good to go. [The pain] is there a little bit, but he’s going to play and he’s going to swing.”

Cody popped out his shoulder Sunday night while celebrating his game-winning home run against the Atlanta Braves with a jumping forearm bash with teammate Kike Hernandez.

Bellinger later told reporters that a member of the Dodgers training staff popped his shoulder back in between innings and he continued to play in Game 7 of the NLCS, even catching the final out.

There are concerns about how the injury will affect his performance in the World Series, which kicks off Tuesday night — but Clay tells us Cody is confident he’ll be able to play at a high level.

Clay admits it was “kinda scary” to see the shoulder come out since Cody has dislocated it multiple times in the past … but Cody assured his dad he’ll be fine.

Clay says he told his son “No more celebrations — at least with Kike!”

As for Clay’s advice to his son heading into the big games against the Tampa Bay Rays … Dad (who won 2 World Series titles with the Yankees in his career) says it’s all simple: “Just go out and play your game.”
