Yankees' Cody Bellinger: On base four times in extra-innings loss
Rotowire
Bellinger went 3-for-5 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Twins.
The veteran outfielder did what he could to set the table for the rest of the Yankees' lineup out of the two-hole, but offense got tough to find after Aaron Judge (lower leg) left the game in the sixth inning. Bellinger has banged out multiple hits in five of his last seven games as he wraps up the regular season on a heater, and through 14 contests in September he's batting .390 (23-for-59) with three doubles, four homers, two steals, 12 RBI and 14 runs.

The veteran outfielder's power stroke has perked up of late -- he's slugged three homers over his past four contests after going deep just once across his previous 46 games. Bellinger has also notched at least one hit in 13 of his past 14 contests and is batting .386 (22-for-57) during that stretch.

The veteran outfielder has experienced a drop-off in power this year, however, as he's slugged just 13 homers through 118 contests after going deep 29 times across 152 regular-season games last year.

He has a .346 batting average (18-for-52) over his last 14 outings with one home run and six RBI.

Yankees' Cody Bellinger: Activated from IL on Sunday
Rotowire
The Yankees reinstated Bellinger (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Sunday. He'll start in left field and bat cleanup in the series finale versus the Blue Jays.
Bellinger will make his first appearance since July 25 after recovering from a left hamstring strain. He received the green light to rejoin the big club after making two rehab appearances with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and he should be ready to handle a near-everyday role. With Bellinger back in the fold, Heliot Ramos looks to be the odd man out of the starting outfield against right-handed starting pitchers.

Yankees' Cody Bellinger: Set to return Sunday
Rotowire
Bellinger (hamstring) will return from the injured list Sunday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.
Manager Aaron Boone suggested earlier in the week that Bellinger could return to the Yankees' lineup by the end of the weekend, and the 31-year-old outfielder confirmed Saturday that he will do so. Bellinger went 1-for-6 with a strikeout in the two rehab games he played at Triple-A but had been on fire at the plate before getting injured, slashing .372/.438/.465 across his last dozen games. He figures to immediately reclaim his role as New York's primary left fielder.

Yankees' Cody Bellinger: Could return as soon as Sunday
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday on the "Talkin' Yanks" podcast by Jomboy Media that Bellinger (hamstring) could be activated from the 10-day injured list as soon as Sunday.
Bellinger will kick off a rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday and will play at least two rehab games before the Yankees determine whether he's ready to return to the active roster. The 31-year-old has been sidelined since late July with a strained left hamstring.
Bellinger (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment Thursday at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and is expected to play in at least two games before potentially rejoining the Yankees, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
The 31-year-old was previously expected to begin the rehab assignment Tuesday, but he'll instead return to game action later in the week. Bellinger has been out nearly a month due to the hamstring strain, and he could be back with the Yankees before the end of the weekend if he hits the ground running with the RailRiders on Thursday and Friday. It may be more realistic to expect him to be reinstated from the injured list next week, however.

Yankees' Cody Bellinger: Ready for rehab assignment
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Bellinger (hamstring) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday and could be activated from the 10-day injured list by next weekend, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
Bellinger will most likely head to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and play Tuesday and Thursday before being re-evaluated. That would have him on track to slot back into the Yankees lineup during next weekend's home series versus the Blue Jays. Bellinger has been on the shelf since July 26 due to a left hamstring strain.

Yankees' Cody Bellinger: Adjustment made to rehab dates
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone clarified that Bellinger (hamstring) will start his minor-league rehab assignment Thursday or Friday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
Boone had previously said that Bellinger was on track to kick off a rehab assignment Tuesday, but the skipper issued a correction following Sunday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jays, noting that the outfielder will instead report to a minor-league affiliate later in the week. Bellinger will go through another couple days of pregame work before returning to game action Thursday or Friday. Bellinger, who has been shelved since July 26 while working his way back from a left hamstring strain, will likely need at least a couple of rehab games to get his timing back at the plate before he makes his return from the injured list.
Yankees' Cody Bellinger: Runs bases for second straight day
Rotowire
Bellinger (hamstring) was spotted running the bases during pregame warmups Wednesday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
Per MLB.com, manager Aaron Boone said that Bellinger ran the bases at about "90 percent of his top speed" Tuesday, and the outfielder appeared to be moving at less than full speed once again Wednesday. Running on consecutive days is a step in the right direction nonetheless for Bellinger, who had already resumed taking on-field batting practice and shagging flyballs in the outfield since landing on the shelf July 26. As soon as he completes a full running and defensive progression, Bellinger will likely head out on a rehab assignment before potentially returning from the 10-day injured list in late August or early September.

Yankees' Cody Bellinger: Takes BP on Wednesday
Rotowire
Bellinger (hamstring) took live batting practice Wednesday for the first time since landing on the injured list July 26, MLB.com reports.
Bellinger has also been able to do some running and throwing as part of his ramp-up process but his timeline to return from the IL remains unchanged. Shortly after Bellinger was placed on the shelf due to a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, manager Aaron Boone said that the reigning All-Star Game MVP would miss approximately 4-to-6 weeks. The short end of that timeframe would give Bellinger a chance to return to action for the Yankees at some point in late August.
Yankees' Cody Bellinger: Running, hitting and throwing
Rotowire
Bellinger (hamstring) has been doing some outdoor running while also hitting and throwing, per MLB.com.
Bellinger seems to be making progress from the left hamstring strain he suffered in late July. Still, the veteran outfielder isn't expected to be activated from the IL until late August or early September. The Yankees acquired Heliot Ramos in a trade with San Francisco on Monday, providing some depth in the outfield with Bellinger and Aaron Judge (ribs) both currently sidelined.
