Trent Grisham belts homer in return to Yankees lineup after hamstring issue
NY Post
TORONTO — After both made cameos off the bench Wednesday night, Trent Grisham and Austin Wells returned to the Yankees lineup Thursday for the first time since their respective injury scares.
Grisham had been out since leaving Monday’s game with hamstring tightness, with the team initially fearing it might lead to an injured list stint.
But the center fielder healed quicker than expected and was ready to go by Thursday’s series finale against the Blue Jays.
“He feels good about it. Training staff feels good about it,” Boone said before the Yankees’ 8-5 loss. “Is it 100 percent? Maybe not. But feel good about that he’s good enough and sound enough to go.”
Grisham returned to the leadoff spot Thursday and went 1-for-3 with a pair of walks, while also hitting a game-tying solo home run in the third inning.
His comeback allowed Boone to shift Cody Bellinger to right field and give Aaron Judge a DH day after spending the last three days on the turf.
