Yankees OF Grisham leaves game at Toronto in 6th inning because of right hamstring tightness

TORONTO (AP) — New York Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham left Friday night’s game at Toronto in the sixth inning because of right hamstring tightness.

Grisham walked off in pain after sliding into second base following a two-RBI hit off Mason Fluharty.

“He just felt it around first,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “Hopefully not too serious but we’ll see, kind of see how he wakes up tomorrow.”

Grisham singled and advanced to second on a throw to home plate, sliding in just ahead of a tag from shortstop Andrés Giménez.

Max Schuemann replaced Grisham, who has hit safely in 14 consecutive games and 16 of his past 19.

Grisham is batting .232 with eight home runs and 35 RBIs.

Boone said Grisham would not immediately go for imaging or additional tests.

New York is already without outfielders Aaron Judge (right rib) and Jasson Domínguez (left shoulder).

“Any injury is frustrating,” Grisham said. “We’ll see where it wakes up tomorrow. Hopefully it’s good news, no IL, but we’ll see.”

Before the 8-5 loss, Boone said Domínguez would continue his rehab assignment at Triple-A. Domínguez went 1 for 4 with a homer in a loss to Lehigh Valley on Friday.

“There’s a chance we bring him up, depending on Grish,” Boone said. “It just depends. We’ll see what we have overnight and in the morning, but Jasson could be in play.”
