Yankees news: Cody Bellinger to begin rehab this week

Cody Bellinger, the talented outfielder for the New York Yankees, is preparing to begin a rehabilitation assignment later this week. The exact day for his rehab assignment has not yet been confirmed, though he has been undergoing additional workouts. There was a brief misunderstanding earlier this week when Manager Aaron Boone mistakenly stated that Bellinger would start rehab on Tuesday.

However, it is clear that there were no delays or setbacks between Boone's initial statement and the clarification. Bellinger's progress is encouraging, as he is closer to returning to the team than he was just days ago. The news of Bellinger's rehab assignment comes amidst other recent events, including the passing of Tommy John, whose legacy is remembered fondly.

Additionally, there have been reports of a significant investment by Apollo Sports Capital, a private equity firm, in the team, with the Yankees' future and potential changes under new ownership sparking speculation among fans and observers.
