Spencer Jones gains regular starts as Yankees center fielder Trent Grisham sits

New York Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham landed on the injured list with a hamstring strain that could end his regular season. This marks his second hamstring injury of the year following a stint on the shelf earlier this season. In his absence, Spencer Jones is expected to take over as the primary center fielder for the remainder of the schedule. Jones recently demonstrated improvement at the plate, hitting.333 with three extra-base hits during September. Manager Aaron Boone indicated confidence in utilizing Jones, who holds a.415 average against left-handed pitching this year. The team plans to incorporate Jasson Domínguez into the outfield rotation while evaluating Jones as a long-term option for the position heading into the offseason.
