Bellinger Back in Yankees Lineup | MLB News

Cody Bellinger’s back in the Yankees lineup after a 25-game absence due to a Grade 2 hamstring strain, batting fourth and playing left field in his first game since July 25. Manager Aaron Boone praised his rehab progress, noting Bellinger got key at-bats and is ready to contribute. Before the injury, Bellinger was hitting .372 and had a strong 2023 season with 29 homers and a $162.5M contract. The Yankees went 14-11 during his layoff and are now 3 games behind the Rays in the AL East. With Bellinger returning, Max Schuemann was optioned to Triple-A, where he was struggling at .194.
