Boone said Bellinger will start a rehab assignment later next week after correcting his earlier timeline, with no setback reported.
- New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone clarified Sunday that outfielder Cody Bellinger will begin his minor-league rehab assignment later this week, correcting an earlier statement suggesting a Tuesday start.
- Bellinger has been sidelined since July 26 with a strained left hamstring, disrupting a season where he produced 11 homers and 53 RBIs in 102 games.
- The Yankees rank 29th in MLB for runs scored without Bellinger, while three-time MVP Aaron Judge has been absent since May 31, compounding the team's offensive struggles.
- Social media users criticized Boone for the communication error, calling the manager "out-of-the-loop" regarding roster decisions, though the team confirmed no setback occurred in Bellinger's recovery.
