What happened: Bellinger exited Saturday’s game after an eighth-inning double. Judge remains sidelined with a right rib fracture and has not resumed baseball activities.
Why it matters: The Yankees now face uncertainty around two central bats as they weigh deadline additions. Reduced outfield depth could push offense higher on their list of needs.
What to watch: Bellinger’s test results and Judge’s recovery will shape the Yankees’ approach before the Aug. 3 deadline.
