Yankees' Trent Grisham may be out for rest of regular season with Grade 2 hamstring strain

The Yankees have placed outfielder Trent Grisham on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, according to a report from Saturday. Manager Aaron Boone confirmed on Sunday that Grisham's absence could extend throughout the remainder of the regular season. The injury occurred during Friday's game when Grisham struggled to reach a ball hit by Xander Bogaerts, resulting in him leaving the game after just one inning.

Grisham initially noticed discomfort during a stolen base attempt in the second inning. This marks the second time Grisham has been sidelined this season; a similar injury in mid-June caused him to miss nearly three weeks. Despite being a strong performer in his first career year, during which he hit 34 home runs and posted an OPS of .812, Grisham has yet to match that level of performance this season, batting .211 with a .308/.395 slash line.

Defensively, Grisham's struggles have been concerning, with a DRS of -7 and OAA of -6, both of which rank among the worst in the league. Meanwhile, new addition Dominguez is set to return from a difficult season, including injury and poor performance. In 53 games, the 23-year-old posted a .230/.270/.380 batting line with six home runs and 14 RBI before being sent to Triple-A, where he has shown improvement with a .283/.781 OPS.

With Grisham out, Spencer Jones is expected to gain playing time in center field, having had a successful debut at the major league level and recently produced four home runs in his last 15 games.
