Cody Bellinger Progresses in Recovery from Hamstring Strain
Cody Bellinger is working on his recovery from a left hamstring strain that has sidelined him from the New York Yankees. As the team gears up for a three-game series against the Atlanta Braves at Yankee Stadium, Bellinger has been seen performing agility drills in the outfield.
Despite the positive nature of the drills, Bellinger has indicated that he still experiences some discomfort in his hamstring. He has been on the injured list since July 26, with initial recovery estimates suggesting a four-to-six-week timeline. Before his injury, Bellinger had played 102 games, achieving a .259 batting average, a .350 on-base percentage, and a .420 slugging percentage, contributing 11 home runs and 53 RBIs.
The Yankees are prioritizing Bellinger’s return, especially given the injuries to other key players on the roster. His experience and ability to perform both offensively and defensively are seen as crucial for the team’s performance in the competitive American League East. While the agility drills indicate progress, the lingering discomfort means the Yankees will proceed cautiously with his rehabilitation.
