Bellinger's Back Woes: Yankees Star Out for Games
1 Mar
Summary
- Cody Bellinger is expected to miss a couple of games due to back tightness.
- Yankees manager Aaron Boone expressed optimism about a quick recovery.
- Bellinger recently signed a five-year, $162.5 million contract with the Yankees.
New York Yankees star Cody Bellinger has been sidelined due to back tightness and is expected to miss several upcoming games. The injury caused him to miss Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays and he is also ruled out for Sunday's Spring Training matchup with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Manager Aaron Boone stated that Bellinger is feeling significantly better and trainers are not overly concerned about the situation. Boone anticipates Bellinger will be back in action within a couple of days, possibly as early as Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox.
This proactive approach reflects the team's caution with the regular season still about a month away. The same issue caused Bellinger to miss two games last April. He recently committed to a new five-year, $162.5 million contract with the Yankees, featuring opt-out clauses after the second and third years.
