Yankees Place Trent Grisham on IL with Grade 2 Right Hamstring Strain

That setback threatens the team's outfield depth late in the pennant race, shaping lineup and roster moves this week.

Overview

  • Grisham left Friday's game after visibly limping to a bloop single, was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday, and follow-up tests over the weekend confirmed a Grade 2 strain in his right hamstring.
  • Manager Aaron Boone said the injury could keep Grisham out for the remainder of the regular season, though the club has not announced a firm return date.
  • The Yankees recalled Jasson Domínguez to fill Grisham’s roster spot and have shifted Spencer Jones to take the bulk of center-field starts down the stretch.
  • Aaron Judge is advancing in his rehab, will face live pitching on Monday, and could be activated during the Sept. 8–13 homestand, which will require further outfield and roster adjustments.
  • Grisham previously missed about three weeks in June with a right hamstring issue, and his late-season absence hands meaningful playing time to young players while affecting New York’s depth as it pursues postseason positioning.
