Yankees Overpower Twins 8-1 with Homers by Bellinger, Jones

  • The three-time American League MVP recently returned on September 8 from a 99-day absence due to a fractured right rib, having missed 84 games earlier this season.

  • Reporter Meredith Marakovits cited right-leg tightness as the reason for the exit, while Manager Aaron Boone had previously emphasized the need to "be smart'' with the captain's recovery.
  • The Yankees clinched a postseason spot Monday and currently trail the Tampa Bay Rays by 3.5 games in the American League East, with the team off Thursday before a weekend series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
