The New York Yankees, who've had new injuries repeatedly pop up this season as if they're playing a game of Whac-A-Mole, will welcome the imminent return of three-time All-Star Cody Bellinger. The outfielder told reporters in the Bronx on Saturday that he'll be activated for Sunday's series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays.
It's expected to be his first outing with the Yankees since he suffered a Grade 2 strain of his left hamstring on July 25. He experienced the setback while running the bases after hitting a double in the eighth inning of a road victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.
Bellinger is coming off his second minor-league rehab game for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Although he went hitless for the RailRiders on Friday, he saw action in left field. The previous day, he notched a single as the team's designated hitter.
"I'm very excited," Bellinger said Saturday of rejoining the Yankees' lineup, per MLB.com.
He added: "I feel good. I'm ready to go."
