Summary

Yankees manager Aaron Boone says injured outfielder Trent Grisham could miss the rest of the regular season due to a moderate hamstring strain he suffered Friday night, similar to one that kept him out for three weeks in June. Grisham has been doing light jogging and agility drills on the field before games, but no timetable has been set for his return. Center field playing time is expected to be filled by Spencer Jones, who has hit .303 with an .881 OPS over his last 23 games, as Aaron Judge's impending return from injury also looms. With three weeks left in the regular season, Grisham's absence will likely be prolonged unless he can recover quickly.

Story summary

Trent Grisham, a center fielder for the New York Yankees, left a game against the San Diego Padres on Friday night due to discomfort in his right hamstring. The injury is a concern because it's not the first time Grisham has struggled with a hamstring issue, having previously been put on the injured list earlier this season. In fact, tests revealed that he has a moderate, Grade 2 strain in his right hamstring, similar to one he suffered in June. With three weeks left in the regular season, Aaron Boone, the Yankees' manager, acknowledged that Grisham "could be" out for the rest of it. This raises questions about whether Grisham will reclaim his position as center fielder when Aaron Judge returns from injury, potentially putting Spencer Jones back in the spotlight.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

Narrative

Even if Grisham can return before the regular season ends, there is no guarantee he will get his job back in center field, as Spencer Jones had already threatened to overtake him there when Aaron Judge returns as soon as this week.
