New York Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger is out of the lineup for Tuesday's road game against the Detroit Tigers because of food poisoning.

Jasson Dominguez is in the starting lineup in his place.

Manager Aaron Boone said Bellinger was sick throughout the night, potentially because of a tainted order of wings.

The game is the second in a three-game series against the Tigers. Detroit won the opener on Monday, 6-2. Bellinger had one of New York's seven hits and scored.

On the season, Bellinger, 29, is hitting .233. He has six RBIs and just one extra-base hit, a home run.

The Yankees acquired him in an offseason trade with the Chicago Cubs for right-hander Cody Poteet. He is in the second season of a three-year, $80 million deal signed with the Cubs.
