The New York Yankees are currently preparing for their ALDS matchup with the Toronto Blue Jays. Outfielder Cody Bellinger reportedly jammed his heel while running the bases during the Yankees' 4-0 series-clinching win over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. Manager Aaron Boone shut down concern over the injury, however, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.
“He should be good to go,” Boone said Friday.
Bellinger went 3-12 (.250 batting average) with a double and two runs scored in the Yankees' AL Wild Card series win over the Red Sox. The 30-year-old had a respectable first regular season in New York with the Yankees, slashing .272/.334/.480 to go along with an .813 OPS, 29 home runs, 25 doubles, 98 RBI and 13 stolen bases.
