Cody Bellinger is just warming up.

The 2026 New York Yankees’ schedule is young. Starting with Tuesday’s three-game series with the Texas Rangers coming to the Bronx, and after a four-game sweep of their American League East rival Baltimore Orioles, capped off with a 12–1 win on Monday, the club sits comfortably in first place. At 24–11, New York is the talk of the division. Among the leaders of the Yankees’ success this season is Bellinger.
