Cody Bellinger slated for Yankees roster return after rehab stint

After a four-week absence, Cody Bellinger is scheduled to reenter the Yankees’ active roster on Sunday, having finished two rehab assignments, one of which featured six innings in the outfield for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He confirmed his hamstring held up during limited action and expressed a desire to help the team win. Manager Aaron Boone noted the club is still evaluating right-field options, including Spencer Jones and the potential return of Aaron Judge, whose rehab continues.

Giancarlo Stanton was also reported to have strained his calf again, adding to the team’s injury concerns. Meanwhile, pitcher Max Fried made his first bullpen appearance since landing on the injured list, though the Yankees offered no further details on his performance.
