Cody Bellinger's Injury, Timeline to Return Updated by Yankees' Boone After Hamstring Strain

Another New York Yankees star is dealing with an injury.

Per MLB.com's Bryan Hoch, Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters on Monday that Cody Bellinger has a Grade 2 hamstring strain and will be out for four to six weeks.

Bellinger exited Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies with a hamstring injury and landed on the injured list the following day, being replaced by Spencer Jones on the active roster.

"It's not something that seems terrible," Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters on Sunday. "He's able to move around today. Just hope for something on the shorter side, but tough to know for sure."

The All-Star outfielder, who is in his second year with the Yankees, has hit 11 homers and piled up 53 RBI while slashing .259/.350/.420 in 102 games this season. Entering Saturday's game, he led the majors with 19 defensive runs saved.

The injury is just another blow for a depleted Yankees squad.

Star slugger Aaron Judge hasn't played since May 31 because of a fractured rib, and Giancarlo Stanton has been out since April 24 due to a strained right calf.

Judge said before the All-Star break that he has made "some progress," but his rib was not yet "fully healed." Boone said on July 25 that Judge is still in "letting-it-heal mode."

Boone told Talkin' Yanks on July 21 that Stanton was "actually doing pretty well" and should be back in a "reasonable amount of time."

The Yankees are in second place in the AL East at 59-46 but are still sitting six games ahead in the wild card race. That gives New York a bit of breathing room with three of its best offensive weapons sidelined.
