The New York Yankees have announced that outfielder Cody Bellinger has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a hamstring injury. This setback comes after Bellinger tweaked his left hamstring while legging out a double during Saturday’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies. He exited the game in the bottom of the eighth inning, making way for a pinch-runner.

On Sunday, July 26, the Yankees confirmed Bellinger’s injury and subsequently called up outfielder Spencer Jones from Class AAA Scranton-Wilkes Barre to fill the vacancy on the roster. Bellinger has been a key contributor for the Yankees this season, stepping up in the absence of injured slugger Aaron Judge.

In 102 games this season, Bellinger has maintained a solid offensive performance, boasting a .259 batting average along with a .350 on-base percentage and a .420 slugging percentage. He has also hit 11 home runs and driven in 53 RBIs, making his loss a significant blow to the Yankees’ lineup.
