New York Yankees All-Star outfielder Cody Bellinger is set to begin a rehab assignment next week. Manager Aaron Boone confirmed this update prior to the Yankees' game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Bellinger has been sidelined since sustaining a Grade 2 left hamstring strain in late July, but has recently participated in high-intensity running as part of his recovery. The Yankees lineup has struggled with injuries, particularly due to the absence of Aaron Judge since May.
