The New York Yankees have made roster adjustments following an injury to outfielder Trent Grisham during Friday’s game against the San Diego Padres. Grisham, who exited the contest with right hamstring discomfort, has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The team recalled outfielder Jasson Domínguez from Triple-A Scranton to fill the vacancy on the active roster.
Grisham’s injury occurred during the early innings of the Yankees’ eventual loss to the Padres. The center fielder struggled defensively on the play that led to his exit, failing to reach an Xander Bogaerts hit that allowed a run to score. This marks the second time during the 2026 season that Grisham has dealt with a right hamstring issue, having previously been sidelined in June.
Manager Aaron Boone later provided concerning news regarding the severity of Grisham’s condition, diagnosing it as a Grade 2 hamstring strain. Given the timeline, Grisham could potentially miss the remainder of the regular season, with only three weeks remaining before the playoffs begin. Domínguez, a former top prospect, will serve as outfield depth while the team awaits his return.
The timing of the injury presents a significant challenge for New York as the postseason approaches. Spencer Jones is expected to see increased playing time in center field during Grisham’s absence, while the team navigates roster decisions with limited flexibility in the coming weeks.
