New York Yankees All-Star outfielder Cody Bellinger will be out four to six weeks due to a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, manager Aaron Boone said Monday. Bellinger was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday after feeling tightness late in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Phillies.

The Yankees are already shorthanded heading into the trade deadline next week. New York has been without slugger Aaron Judge since May 31 because of a fractured rib, and designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is still out with a strained right calf that has sidelined him since April 24. The Yankees entered Monday three games behind first-place Tampa Bay in the AL East.

New York recalled outfielder Spencer Jones from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to take Bellinger's roster spot. "We've had some tough injuries to some really important people but that's part of [the baseball season]," Boone said. "... It creates an opportunity for one or more people to go plug that hole."

Bellinger is hitting .259 with 11 homers and 53 RBIs in 102 games this season. He entered Saturday with 19 defensive runs saved, most in the majors, and was MVP of the All-Star Game on July 14. Bellinger re-signed with the Yankees last winter for $162.5 million over five years.
