Grisham exits with hamstring issue, clouding Yankees' center-field plan

Jones is the other option once Judge returns

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Sep 51 min read

What happened: Trent Grisham exited Friday's game against the San Diego Padres with right hamstring discomfort. He first felt it during a caught-stealing attempt in the second inning.

Why it matters: The injury could settle the Yankees' looming choice between Grisham and Spencer Jones in center field when Aaron Judge returns. Manager Aaron Boone said an injured-list stint is possible.

By the numbers: Grisham previously went on the injured list with a hamstring strain before the Yankees reinstated him in July.

What to watch: Imaging is expected before the Yankees determine whether an injured-list move is needed.
