Cody Bellinger Injured, Yankees Lose Star as Trade Deadline Looms

Yankees left‑fielder Cody Bellinger was placed on the injured list after suffering a hamstring strain during a workout. The injury deprives the club of a key bat and reduces its positional depth just as the trade deadline looms.

Analysts warn that Bellinger’s uncertain recovery timeline could weaken New York’s bargaining position in the market. The organization may now look to promote prospects or explore trade options to fill the void.
