Yankees option Max Schuemann to Triple-A as Bellinger returns

Summary

Following a 4-3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on August 22, the New York Yankees have optioned utilityman Max Schuemann to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Schuemann's demotion clears a roster spot for Cody Bellinger, who is set to be activated from the injured list after recovering from a strained left hamstring. Bellinger completed his rehab with Scranton and has been a significant contributor this season, with 11 home runs and an All-Star MVP award. The Yankees look to boost their offense as they currently sit 3.5 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays for the American League East lead.
