Yankees' Trent Grisham goes on IL with right hamstring strain as Aaron Judge nears return
The Yankees have players to fill in for Grisham in the outfield, which could soon include AL MVP Aaron Judge.
The New York Yankees announced on Saturday that outfielder Trent Grisham has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain. Grisham, 29, left Friday's game in the second inning after attempting to steal second base and being thrown out. Grisham has 18 home runs, 19 doubles, and 59 RBI this season, but his current performance is marked by a .211/.308/.395 batting average over 484 plate appearances.
He previously suffered a similar injury in mid-June and was sidelined for about three weeks. Meanwhile, Yankees manager Aaron Boone expects Aaron Judge, who recently took batting practice for the first time since a rib injury, to face live pitching on Monday. Judge may return to action during the Yankees' home stand from September 8-13.
