Summary
- Trent Grisham placed on IL with right hamstring strain.
- Spencer Jones will likely cover center field for the Yankees.
- Aaron Judge nearing return after rib cage injury in June.
Outfielder Trent Grisham has been placed on the 10-day injured list for the New York Yankees due to a right hamstring strain. The injury occurred during Friday's game when Grisham attempted to steal second base and was later seen laboring in center field. He exited the game shortly after.
Spencer Jones is expected to take over center field responsibilities for the Yankees' remaining 21 regular-season games. Jones has experience at the position in both the majors and minors. Heliot Ramos will play right field, and Jasson Domínguez was recalled from Triple-A to fill Grisham's roster spot.
In more positive news for the Yankees, Aaron Judge is nearing a return from a stress fracture in his right rib cage. Judge has resumed on-field batting practice, run the bases, and worked in the outfield. He is scheduled to face live pitching on Monday and could be activated during the team's upcoming homestand from September 8-13.
