See the full story · 2 sourcesAll-Star outfielder Cody Bellinger has joined Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton on the Yankees' injured list.
Prior to Sunday's series finale at Philadelphia, the Yanks placed Bellinger on the IL due to a strained left hamstring and recalled lefty-hitting outfielder Spencer Jones.
Eight days out from the MLB trade deadline, Jones is among the Yanks' inventory of potential trade chips, and you also wonder if Bellinger's injury - along with a sputtering offense and the uncertain returns of Judge and Stanton - puts the team into deeper discussions for a hitter.
Impact relief pitching and a right-handed hitting catcher have been the focus of Yankee upgrades leading into the Aug. 3 deadline.
Bellinger's loss further damages a lineup that has been without its anchor, Judge, since June 2.
Running to second on a double in Saturday night's 3-1 win against the Phillies , Bellinger felt a grab in his left hamstring and was removed from the game.
Afterwards, Bellinger told reporters that the hamstring felt "a little tight'' and that he'd never previously suffered that type of injury.
