Overview

  • Trent Grisham left Friday’s game after failing to reach a bloop into center and the Yankees announced he had right hamstring discomfort.
  • After the inning Grisham spoke with director of sports medicine Mike Schuck and was escorted to the clubhouse while Heliot Ramos and Spencer Jones took over in the outfield.
  • The club’s statement links this issue to the same right hamstring that previously put Grisham on the injured list earlier this season, a problem that can reduce a player’s sprint speed and recur under load.
  • Grisham has also struggled at the plate and shown less range recently, while Spencer Jones has been surging offensively, creating a direct competition for the center field job.
  • The Yankees will evaluate the injury’s severity in the coming days and face a roster decision when Aaron Judge returns next week that could affect defensive alignment and playing time in the outfield.
