Cody Bellinger Begins Rehab Assignment with Triple-A SWB
The Yankees announced Bellinger has commenced a rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as he works back toward the major-league roster.
The New York Yankees announced that INF/OF Cody Bellinger has commenced a rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
A day removed from reporting that Bellinger was nearing rehab games after a hamstring stint, the club made it official. The assignment puts him in live game action against Triple-A competition — the standard bridge between recovery and a return to the major-league roster. What remains unconfirmed is any timetable for rejoining the Yankees or how many rehab appearances the club plans to use.
What to watch
The Yankees are managing several moving pieces on the health front. Max Fried was placed on the 15-day IL with an elbow bone bruise, though the club expressed optimism about a minimal absence. Aaron Judge is also progressing through recovery, with pool work potentially among the final steps before a hitting progression begins. Carlos Rodón, meanwhile, returned from his own IL stint and started against the Orioles.
Bellinger's pace through Scranton is the next thing worth tracking.
