Yankees Lose Grisham to Injury, Drop Opener

New York Yankees center fielder Trent Grisham exited Monday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays in the fifth inning due to left hamstring tightness, after singling and scoring earlier. His status is currently day-to-day, and he has not yet been placed on the injured list, with no official timetable for his return. Grisham’s absence adds to the Yankees' ongoing injury issues, including reliever Fernando Cruz (oblique strain) and catcher Austin Wells (circulation problem). Grisham has been a key contributor this season with 15 home runs and a .244/.346/.467 slash line. The Yankees, who started the series leading the AL East, lost the opener to Toronto 5-4 after a costly sixth inning. The team continues to monitor its roster health amid a challenging stretch.
