Cody Bellinger Bruised Heel Not Expected to Sideline Yankees Outfielder for ALDS Game 1

New York Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger is expected to be ready for Saturday's Game 1 of the ALDS against the Blue Jays, despite visibly limping during his final at-bat in Thursday's Game 3 Wild Card win. Manager Aaron Boone confirmed on Friday that Bellinger 'bruised his heel,' stating, 'He should be okay... He should be good to go.' Bellinger reaggravated his bruised heel when he ran for home and scored the first run in the fourth inning of Game 3, with Boone explaining he 'just kind of jammed his heel a little bit when he was rounding third.' In his first season with the Yankees, Bellinger has been a key contributor, batting .272 with 29 home runs and 98 RBIs, alongside playing plus-defense in left field. During the recent three-game series with the Red Sox, Bellinger went 3-for-12 with a double, a walk, and two runs.
