The New York Yankees have placed All-Star outfielder Cody Bellinger on the injured list. The move follows Bellinger sustaining a left hamstring strain, an injury he had previously expressed hope would not necessitate an IL stint.
Bellinger's hamstring injury comes as the Major League Baseball trade deadline looms. Reports suggest the injury could heighten the Yankees' needs as the team approaches the critical trade period.
The outfielder is expected to undergo further testing for the strain. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
