Cody Bellinger of the New York Yankees has been placed on the IL with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, sidelining him for 4-6 weeks and further straining the team’s offense already missing Aaron Judge. The Yankees are exploring trade options, notably for Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams and outfielders like Lane Thomas, as they seek reinforcements. Additionally, they are considering acquiring a catcher to support Austin Wells, focusing on established backups rather than a primary replacement. The team’s performance in the coming weeks will be critical as they navigate these challenges.
