Trent Grisham's hamstring strain is expected to sideline him for a few weeks, while Giancarlo Stanton has reinjured his calf and aims for a July return. Promising prospect George Lombard Jr. left Tuesday’s game with an apparent upper body injury after a collision while attempting to steal second base. Austin Wells has begun a rehab stint at Triple-A.
