Trent Grisham Exits with Right Hamstring Discomfort; Yankees Plan Imaging

The team will get MRI results to decide if Grisham needs the injured list and to guide roster moves as the postseason approaches.

Overview

  • Grisham left Friday night’s game in San Diego after feeling his right hamstring on a stolen-base attempt and then limping while running down a shallow fly, and he did not return to the 3-2, 10-inning loss.
  • Manager Aaron Boone said the club will obtain imaging to determine the injury’s severity and that another injured-list stint is possible but not yet decided.
  • Grisham’s exit forced an in-game reshuffle with Spencer Jones moving to center field and Heliot Ramos entering the lineup, a change that reporters said disrupted the Yankees’ defense during the loss.
  • The hamstring involves the same right leg that sent Grisham to the IL in June, and he has struggled this season at the plate and in defensive metrics while batting roughly .211 with 18 home runs.
  • If the MRI shows a significant strain, the Yankees could promote from Triple-A or shift playing time—moves that will also affect how they absorb Aaron Judge’s expected return in the coming days.
