Cody Bellinger begins rehab assignment for New York Yankees

New York Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger has begun a minor league rehab assignment with the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. This marks his first return to game action since being placed on the 10-day injured list on July 25 due to a Grade 2 left hamstring strain.

Manager Aaron Boone indicated that if Bellinger completes his rehab assignment without setbacks, the team aims to activate him for the series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium this Sunday. The club intends to monitor his defensive movement and running ability during the assignment to ensure he can handle a full workload before returning to the major league lineup.
