New York Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham exited Friday night's game against the Toronto Blue Jays in the sixth inning due to tightness in his right hamstring. The injury occurred after Grisham hit a two-run single and slid into second base.
Max Schuemann replaced Grisham in the outfield. Grisham has been hitting well, with hits in 14 consecutive games and 16 of his last 19. He is batting .232 with eight home runs and 35 RBIs this season, and has been playing strong defense in center field.
This is not the first time Grisham has had an injury scare against the Blue Jays this season; he previously left a game with knee discomfort. With other outfielders like Aaron Judge already on the injured list, Grisham's potential absence could impact the team's depth. Yankees manager Aaron Boone indicated that Jasson Dominguez, who is rehabbing a shoulder injury, might be activated sooner if Grisham requires an injured list stint.
