<title>Bellinger held out with back discomfort; Yankees 'aren't too concerned'</title>
<description> When the Yankees were in Pittsburgh last April, Cody Bellinger pointed to the area near his lower back and upper right hip, attempting to pinpoint the discomfort that was keeping him out of the lineup.

Bellinger is dealing with that familiar issue again, according to manager Aaron Boone, who said the 30-year-old’s “back went out on him” on Friday.

“He’ll probably, I’m guessing, [miss] a couple of days,” Boone said Saturday after the Yankees’ 5-1 Grapefruit League victory over the Blue Jays at George M. Steinbrenner Field. “He’s quite a bit better today. So we don’t think it’s anything. The trainers aren’t too concerned about it.

“This is something that crops up on him every now and then, usually sometime in the spring or earlier in the year. We dealt with it a little bit in-season early last year.”

Boone said Bellinger could return to the lineup on Tuesday, when the Yankees are scheduled to host Team Panama in an exhibition.
