Center fielder Trent Grisham left the New York Yankees' 3-2, 10-inning loss Friday night against the San Diego Padres because of discomfort in his right hamstring.
Grisham drew a walk from Walker Buehler leading off the second inning and was thrown out trying to steal second base. He was taken out after the top of the third.
Rookie Spencer Jones, who is from Encinitas in northern San Diego County, moved from right field to center field, and Heliot Ramos entered in Grisham's spot in the order playing right field.
Grisham is hitting .211 with 18 homers and 59 RBIs. He played for the Padres from 2020 through 2023 before being traded to the Yankees along with Juan Soto in a seven-player blockbuster Dec. 7, 2023.
