Bellinger Exits Yankees-Phillies Game With Hamstring Tightness
The Yankees outfielder was pulled on defense in the 8th inning and faces testing, though he downplayed the severity postgame.
Cody Bellinger was removed from Saturday's game against Philadelphia in the bottom of the eighth inning due to hamstring tightness. He had contributed two hits, including a go-ahead RBI single, before being replaced defensively. Bellinger said postgame he does not believe the injury is serious, but testing is scheduled. If he misses time, Spencer Jones is considered the likely call-up candidate, with Max Schuemann also available for left-field reps.
