Yankees' Cody Bellinger: Expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Bellinger is expected to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks after being diagnosed with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.
Bellinger suffered the injury during Saturday's game versus the Phillies and was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday. It's another significant blow to a Yankees offense that's already missing Aaron Judge (ribs) and Giancarlo Stanton (calf). Spencer Jones will get plenty of reps in the outfield while Bellinger is out, and Max Schuemann will see some action versus lefties.

Yankees' Cody Bellinger: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
The Yankees placed Bellinger on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left hamstring strain.
The veteran outfielder sustained the injury during Saturday's win over the Phillies and will be sidelined for at least the next week and a half. It's another huge blow to a Yankees outfield that has been without Aaron Judge (ribs) since late May and Giancarlo Stanton (calf) since late April. Bellinger will be eligible to return Aug. 4, but there's no firm timeline for his recovery. Spencer Jones was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to round out New York's outfield.

Yankees' Cody Bellinger: Returning to New York for testing
Rotowire
Bellinger said he will return to New York on Monday to undergo additional testing on his strained left hamstring, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Bellinger was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday, but the Yankees are still looking to determine the severity of his hamstring injury. Even if his upcoming tests reveal a minor strain, Bellinger could be hard pressed to make it back from the shelf when first eligible Aug. 4. The Yankees recalled Spencer Jones from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move, and the rookie could end up occupying the strong side of a platoon in the outfield while Bellinger is on the IL.

Yankees' Cody Bellinger: Dealing with hamstring injury
Rotowire
Manager Aaron Boone said Bellinger suffered a left hamstring injury in Saturday's win over the Phillies, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Bellinger will undergo further testing after he was injured legging out a double in the top of the eighth inning Saturday. At the time of his departure, Bellinger was 2-for-4 with the double and one RBI. He's currently on a six-game hitting streak and has recorded at least one base knock in 11 of his past 12 contests.

Yankees' Cody Bellinger: Getting day off amid slump
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in an appearance on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that Bellinger will be out of the lineup Tuesday against the Tigers.
Bellinger has gone just 2-for-27 at the plate across his last eight contests, so the Yankees will give him a breather as Detroit sends ace Tarik Skubal to the mound. The ongoing slump has dropped Bellinger's season OPS below .800 for the first time since May 1.
Bellinger went 1-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in a loss to the Reds on Sunday.
Bellinger was one of three Yankees to swipe two bags, but incredibly, none of the thefts led to any runs. Bellinger's steals were his ninth and 10th of campaign, and he's now reached double-digit steals for the seventh time in his career. The veteran outfielder is one of 16 major-leaguers so far in 2026 to reach double-digit homers and thefts.
Bellinger went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double, a walk and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 10-5 win over the White Sox.
With Aaron Judge (ribs) sitting on the shelf, Bellinger continues to help hold down the fort in New York's lineup. The star outfielder has gone 16-for-51 (.314) in June, racking up three homers, 11 RBI, three stolen bases and eight runs scored this month. Through 308 trips to the dish, Bellinger is slashing a robust .280/.373/.487 with 11 long balls, 49 RBI, eight pilfers and 45 runs scored as a five-category fantasy contributor.
Bellinger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday in a 6-1 victory against the Red Sox.
Bellinger broke a 1-1 tie with a solo shot in the eighth inning. The Yankees went on to score five more times in the frame to turn a pitchers' duel into a runaway win. The long ball was Bellinger's first extra-base hit since May 26, but he's still been reaching base consistently, collecting three multi-hit performances over his past six contests. Overall, he's slashing .273/.373/.476 with nine homers, 41 RBI, 38 runs and seven stolen bases across 64 contests on the campaign.
