Quick 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.

Narrative

Claims (13 extracted, 1 hedged)

SAN DIEGO — Trent Grisham has the same level hamstring strain as he had in June, when he missed three weeks. asserted

he → have → weeks

With three weeks left in the regular season, that means the Yankees center fielder “could be” out for the rest of it, Aaron Boone acknowledged Sunday. uncertain

Boone → leave → it

“We’ll see,” Boone said before the series finale at Petco Park. asserted

Boone → see → Park

“We’re not putting a timetable on it right now. asserted

We → put → it

Keep him moving and see how long it takes.” asserted

it → keep → ?

After suffering the injury Friday night, Grisham underwent tests on Saturday that revealed a moderate, Grade 2 strain in his right hamstring — the same one he hurt in June, but in a different spot. asserted

he → suffer → spot

For the second straight day, Grisham was out on the field before Sunday’s game doing some light jogging and agility drills. asserted

Grisham → do → drills

But whether that leads to a shorter absence than the last time remains to be seen. asserted

“He is doing well enough to be able to move right away, which is a good sign,” Boone said. asserted

Boone → do → ?

“So he’s already doing things right now. asserted

he → do → things

Ultimately we’ll see how long it takes.’ asserted

it → see → long

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. asserted

Judge → return → week

Now, Jones will get most of the playing time in center field down the stretch, trying to build on his recent surge that had him hitting .303 with an .881 OPS over his last 23 games entering Sunday. asserted

him → get → Sunday
