Bellinger Returns to Yankees Lineup Against Royals

NEW YORK, N.Y. — Cody Bellinger is back in the New York Yankees‘ starting lineup for their game against the Kansas City Royals on April 15. The outfielder will bat third and play center field, taking over the position from Trent Grisham.

Bellinger, who missed the previous game, adds a new dynamic to the Yankees’ lineup as they face right-hander Michael Wacha. His return comes as the Yankees look to improve their standing in the league.

“When he’s on the field, he brings a fresh energy to the team,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “Cody is an essential part of our lineup, and we’re excited to have him back today against Wacha.”

This season, Bellinger has been trying to regain his form after a few previous struggles, with both injuries and performance issues impacting his play. His ability to hit for average and power is crucial for the Yankees as they continue to navigate the challenges of the season.

The Yankees have struggled recently but hope Bellinger’s presence will provide the spark they need. With the trade deadline approaching, the performance of key players like Bellinger could influence future roster decisions.

Fantasy baseball players should note Bellinger’s return, as he is expected to have an immediate impact in today’s game against a solid Royals squad.
