MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Cody Bellinger is slated to return from the IL today. The outfielder had a short rehab stint at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as he recovered from a Grade 2 left hamstring strain that's kept him off the field since late July. "I've been wanting to get back for a while," Bellinger said. "You always want to be realistic, and for me, I want to come back and stay. You don't want to make anything worse. I'm itching to get back, but I've got to continue to play it safe and make sure I'm 100 percent ready." In his second year with New York, Bellinger was an All-Star this season and figures to fortify an outfield that's also been without Aaron Judge in right.
