Outfielder Cody Bellinger is set to begin a rehab assignment with the Yankees on Tuesday, with manager Aaron Boone indicating a possible return next weekend. The move comes after Bellinger has been sidelined for about a month.
Bellinger last plays on July 26 due to a strained left hamstring. Yahoo Sports reports he could rejoin the team for the Yankees’ upcoming series against the Toronto Blue Jays, while other coverage frames the timing as approaching quickly for the club. In the meantime, Bellinger’s 2024 season production is reported as a .259 batting average with 11 home runs and 53 RBIs across 102 games.
Across outlets, the core details are consistent: Bellinger starts a rehab stint this week, his injury is a strained left hamstring, and his return is viewed as potentially imminent, subject to how he progresses during rehabilitation.
