PITTSBURGH — Cody Bellinger was absent from the Yankees’ lineup for the second consecutive day on Saturday due to a stiff back. The center fielder reported discomfort near his beltline, describing the feeling as “a little unaligned” accompanied by “a little bit of tightness.” Despite the setback, Bellinger expressed optimism about his recovery, noting that he has dealt with similar issues in the past without significant complications.
“I’ve had it before multiple times, so I know how to manage it,” he stated. Bellinger’s previous experience with back tightness has given him confidence that this situation will resolve itself without major impact on his performance. As he continues his recovery, he has been engaging in cage work, which he finds encouraging. The Yankees are hopeful that he will return to the lineup soon, as his presence is vital to their success on the field.
