Yankees All-Star outfielder Cody Bellinger is placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained left hamstring. Multiple reports say the injury occurs after Bellinger tweaks the hamstring while legging out a double in Saturday’s game. After the team makes the roster move, New York calls up outfielder Spencer Jones from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to replace Bellinger on the active roster before Sunday night’s game at Philadelphia.
The injury adds to an already extended list of absences for the Yankees. The team is also missing outfielder Aaron Judge, who has been on the injured list since May 31 with a fractured rib. Designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton remains sidelined with a strained right calf, an injury that has kept him out since April 24. With Bellinger joining the injured list, the Yankees lose additional offensive production and defense while continuing to adjust their lineup during the ongoing period of injuries.
