Summary
Cody Bellinger landed on the 10-day injured list Sunday after straining his left hamstring while legging out an eighth-inning double in the Yankees’ 3-1 win over Philadelphia.
Bellinger said he felt a grab rounding first base, stayed in briefly, then told Aaron Boone he likely could not have scored on a ball in play and exited after the half-inning.
Spencer Jones was recalled from Triple-A to help cover the latest outfield loss; the Yankees may start Max Schuemann in left Sunday against Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sánchez.
Jones has hit .273/.385/.557 with 14 homers in 54 Triple-A games, but batted .224/.314/.355 with 35 strikeouts in 31 major league games this season.
The injury deepens a Yankees outfield shortage with Aaron Judge still sidelined by a fractured rib and Giancarlo Stanton progressing slowly from two right calf strains.
