The Yankees have placed outfielder Trent Grisham<\/a> on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain, the team announced. Fellow outfielder Jasson Dom\u00ednguez<\/a>, whom the Yankees reinstated from the 10-day IL, will take Grisham\u2019s roster spot.<\/p>\n

Grisham suffered the injury sliding into second base in a loss to the Blue Jays on Friday, forcing him to leave early. The Yankees brought in Max Schuemann<\/a> to play right field and shifted Spencer Jones<\/a> to center to replace Grisham. They are now down two starting outfielders, having lost superstar right fielder Aaron Judge<\/a> to a stress fracture in his rib<\/a> earlier this month. Judge will not be back until at least August, while the length of Grisham\u2019s absence will depend on the severity of his strain.<\/p>\n

After Grisham unexpectedly erupted for 34 home runs during a 3.2-fWAR showing in 2025, the Yankees issued him a $22.05MM qualifying offer as he prepared to hit free agency. The 29-year-old accepted it, and though he got off to a slow start this season (.610 OPS through April), he has reemerged as a key part of the Yankees\u2019 offense over the past several weeks. While Grisham isn\u2019t hitting for as much power this year, he has slashed his strikeout rate from 23.6 percent to 15.9 over 264 plate appearances. Thanks in part to a strong 14.4 percent walk rate, Grisham is batting .232\/.341\/.406 with eight homers. He has also chipped in six stolen bases. His offensive performance has been 12 percent better than average, according to wRC+, and a .360 xwOBA that easily outdoes his .334 wOBA suggests he has deserved even better results.<\/p>\n

Grisham drew excellent defensive grades earlier in his career, but that has not been the case recently. Defensive Runs Saved (minus-4), Outs Above Average (minus-3) and Fielding Run Value (minus-2) have all assigned him negative marks this year. Nevertheless, it is a significant blow to lose an everyday center fielder who brings quality offense to the table. Jones and left fielder Cody Bellinger<\/a> are logical candidates to see time in center, where they have garnered plenty of experience. Most of Jones\u2019 work has come in the minors, though he has also started in center twice during his brief 15-game career in the majors. But the strikeout-prone Jones is fanning at an awful 41.9% clip, meaning there will likely be an offensive drop-off from Grisham.<\/p>\n

Dom\u00ednguez will give the Yankees another corner outfield option as he returns from missing over a month with a low-grade AC sprain in his left shoulder. The former top prospect, 23, suffered the injury crashing into the wall in left in a home win over the Rangers on May 7. Dom\u00ednguez began the season with Triple-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre, but the Yankees called him up in late April. Before heading to the IL, he hit just .200\/.250\/.367 (70 wRC+) with one homer over a small sample of 32 plate appearances. He played in 123 games in 2025 and batted a more appealing .257\/.331\/.388 (103 wRC+) with 10 homers and 23 steals in 429 trips to the plate.<\/p>\n
