Yankees' Bellinger Out; Stanton, LeMahieu Injured

Cody Bellinger, a New York Yankees outfielder, has missed two consecutive games due to a recurring back issue characterized by unalignment and tightness near his lower back and upper right hip. Bellinger has experienced similar issues in the past, which typically resolve within a few days. Despite missing games, he has been taking swings in the batting cage and receiving treatment, expressing optimism about returning to the lineup soon, possibly by Sunday. Yankees manager Aaron Boone is optimistic about Bellinger's recovery and expects he might be available off the bench in the meantime. The Yankees have been managing multiple player absences due to injuries, including those of Giancarlo Stanton and DJ LeMahieu.
