Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham sustains hamstring injury in loss to Padres
Summary

Trent Grisham left the New York Yankees' 3-2, 10-inning loss to the San Diego Padres on Friday after aggravating a right hamstring injury. The center fielder initially felt the injury while attempting to steal second base but remained in the game until the second inning, when he limped after a defensive play on a ball hit by Xander Bogaerts. Grisham was replaced by Heliot Ramos, while Spencer Jones moved to center field to cover the defensive gap. Manager Aaron Boone indicated that Grisham, who previously missed time with a similar injury in June, will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the strain. The team is currently assessing its outfield alignment as it navigates the remainder of the playoff race. The club must decide if a roster move is necessary based on the medical results.
