Bellinger Out 4-6 Weeks With Grade 2 Hamstring Strain
The Yankees lose another key bat as Bellinger's MRI confirms a serious hamstring injury, compounding an already depleted lineup.
Cody Bellinger strained his left hamstring while hustling into a double during Saturday's game against the Phillies. An MRI confirmed a Grade 2 strain, ruling him out for an estimated four to six weeks. His projected return window falls between August 24 and September 7. The injury adds to a mounting list of Yankees offensive absences that already includes Aaron Judge (rib stress fracture) and Giancarlo Stanton (calf strain).
