On Monday night, the New York Yankees will open up a series with the Chicago White Sox at Rate Field.
UPDATE: The Yankees won 9-5.
They are coming off a series where they took two out of three games from the Philadelphia Phillies (also on the road).
However, Cody Bellinger got injured during Saturday’s game.
He has now been placed on the injured list (and Spencer Jones was called up).
The Yankees wrote (on Sunday): “Prior to tonight’s game, the Yankees made the following roster moves: • Placed INF/OF Cody Bellinger on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain. • Recalled OF Spencer Jones (#78) from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.”
UPDATE: Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reported the latest.

Judge Reacts To Injury News
After Sunday’s game, Aaron Judge met with the media (via YES Network).
The three-time MVP has been out since May 31.
He was asked about the injury news to Bellinger.
Judge: “We got a lot of depth. We got a lot of guys in the Minor Leagues ready to go… We got a lot of guys who can fill those holes. You can’t replace a Bellinger, but we’re gonna keep doing what we do.”
Looking At Bellinger
Bellinger is in the middle of his second season playing for the Yankees.
He is currently batting .259 with 97 hits, 11 home runs, 53 RBIs, 52 runs and 10 stolen bases in 102 games.
The former MVP has also spent time with the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers over 10 total seasons.
Chris Kirschner of The Athletic wrote (on Sunday): “Cody Bellinger will go for tests back in New York tomorrow. So the Yankees likely won’t know a potential timeline until they get the results.”
Looking At Judge
Judge is in the middle of his 11th season playing for the Yankees.
Before getting hurt, the future Hall of Famer had been batting .248 with 53 hits, 17 home runs, 38 RBIs, 43 runs and five stolen bases in 59 games this season.
