Yankees’ Cody Bellinger to Miss 4-6 Weeks with Hamstring Injury
Cody Bellinger is expected to miss 4-6 weeks after an MRI showed a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, and Spencer Jones was recalled.
- On Monday, Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed outfielder Cody Bellinger will miss four to six weeks with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, while the team recalled prospect Spencer Jones from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.
- Bellinger's absence compounds the Yankees' offensive struggles, as the team remains without injured sluggers Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, leaving New York three games behind first-place Tampa Bay in the AL East.
- Before the injury, Bellinger was hitting.259 with 11 homers and 53 RBIs in 102 games; he signed a $162.5 million, five-year contract last winter and entered Saturday leading the majors with 19 defensive runs saved.
- These offensive gaps increase urgency for the Yankees ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline, as the club scouts for an outfield bat, right-handed hitting catcher, and high-leverage relief help.
- The team continues its series against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday, with predictive models giving the Yankees a 55.8% chance to win the matchup scheduled for 7:40 p.m. EST at Rate Field.
