Outfielder Cody Bellinger will commence a rehab assignment on Tuesday, potentially rejoining the Yankees the following weekend, according to manager Aaron Boone after Sunday's game in Toronto. Bellinger, who has been sidelined since July 26 due to a strained left hamstring, is set to play on Tuesday and Thursday, likely with Triple-A affiliate Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, as confirmed by Boone in a pre-game briefing.
The 2026 All-Star Game MVP, who re-signed with the Yankees last winter for a five-year contract worth $162.5 million, is currently batting .259 with 11 home runs and 53 RBIs in 102 games this season. Meanwhile, three-time MVP Aaron Judge is scheduled to engage in throwing and running exercises in New York today, as Boone reported.
Judge, who has been out since May 31 owing to a fractured right rib, made his first throw since joining the injured list on Friday. On Tuesday, left-hander Carlos Rodón (elbow) is expected to participate in a minor league rehab start, though the specific league and venue have yet to be determined. Rodón has made two minor league starts this month, one at Triple-A and another at Double-A Somerset.
