Trent Grisham left the Yankees’ 2-1 loss to Toronto in the fifth inning after a bloop double slipped between left fielder Yohendrick Piñango and third baseman Kazuma Okamoto. He grimaced at second base, prompting a scan that cleared his left knee of any structural damage. Boone noted the scan lets Grisham concentrate on rehab.

Grisham, 29, posted a .174 batting average with six homers and 27 RBIs before the injury. While his average ranks fourth‑lowest among qualifying hitters, his RBI total sits third among center fielders. The Yankees acquired him from San Diego in December 2023 alongside Juan Soto, rewarding him with a one‑year $22,025,000 qualifying offer. He expects to regain his swing quickly as the lineup adjusts.

Spencer Jones took over center field on Thursday, making his second start after a stint in Triple‑A Scranton/Wilkes‑Barre. With Grisham cleared, New York can field a healthy outfield as the season heads into its final stretch. The Yankees remain within striking distance of the AL East lead, and Grisham’s availability could prove decisive in upcoming matchups. Fans in the Bronx will be watching his return closely.
