Trent Grisham Exits With Right Hamstring Discomfort

Team officials say imaging will determine if Grisham needs the injured list as Aaron Judge nears a return next week.

Overview

  • Grisham left the Yankees’ game after failing to reach a shallow fly that became an RBI single and was removed with right hamstring discomfort following an in-game trainer visit on Friday.
  • Manager Aaron Boone said the club plans to get imaging, warned Grisham 'could be' placed on the injured list, and traced the issue to a pull first felt while attempting a steal earlier in the game.
  • When Grisham exited, Heliot Ramos replaced him in right field and Spencer Jones shifted to center, a switch the Yankees kept during the rest of the game.
  • This affects a clear roster choice because Grisham’s right hamstring is the same one that put him on the injured list in June and Jones has been hitting well lately.
  • A recurring hamstring problem can reduce sprint speed and defensive range for a center fielder, so the team’s imaging result will shape the outfield alignment and lineup decisions as Judge returns next week.
