Trent Grisham likely to miss at least 2-3 weeks with hamstring injury in Yankees outfield blow

An already beaten-up Yankees lineup looks to be without Trent Grisham for a while longer, as imaging taken Monday showed a “moderate” right hamstring strain, according to Aaron Boone. The manager said he’d hoped the center fielder would be out just a minimal amount of time, but the severity of the injury means Grisham would “miss a little bit of time.”  Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees.Boone declined to put a timeline on how long Grisham would be out, but it figures to be at least 2-3 weeks. Grisham has been able to do some baseball activities, which is encouraging, but they’ll be without him for a while. It comes at a rough time for Grisham, who’d shaken off a tough start to the season and had a .994 OPS in his previous 20 games.

And more recently, he had been even more productive, with four extra-base hits in his last seven games. Spencer Jones was back in center, his most comfortable position, Tuesday against the White Sox and hit his first Yankee Stadium homer in a 12-2 win. And the Yankees will also continue to be without Giancarlo Stanton, who underwent an MRI exam on Monday that showed he reinjured the right calf strain that’s sidelined him since late April. Stanton said he felt it again while running bases and the discomfort was similar to when the injury first occurred in Houston. He had hoped to be back as soon as Wednesday, but that timeline is now pushed back indefinitely. Austin Wells (cervical headaches) began a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday. Wells was behind the plate and went 0-for-3 with a walk and is scheduled to catch part of Wednesday’s game before potentially serving as a DH with SWB on Thursday. The Yankees are hoping Wells returns a more productive hitter than what he’s been for nearly the entire season.  Sign up for Inside the Yankees by Greg Joyce, e...
