Yankees' Trent Grisham: On bench for second straight day
Rotowire
Grisham is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.
The left-handed-hitting Grisham will head to the bench for the second day in a row, with both of his absences coming against right-handed starting pitchers. Though he produced three hits in his most recent start Sunday against the Mets and owns an .826 OPS for the season, Grisham may be shifting into more of a fourth-outfielder role while the Yankees make finding playing time for Jasson Dominguez more of a priority. Dominguez will be included in the lineup Wednesday for the seventh time in eight games.

Yankees' Trent Grisham: Likely headed to injured list
Rotowire
Grisham (hamstring) is likely to be placed on the 10-day injured list, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Grisham had to depart Monday's contest in Toronto with a tight left hamstring. He was seen testing out the hamstring in the outfield pregame Tuesday but evidently didn't feel well enough to avoid a likely trip to the IL. Grisham would be eligible for activation July 11, but with the All-Star break looming shortly after that, there's a good chance the Yankees would hold him back at least until the start of the second half. Cody Bellinger will handle center field while Grisham is out, opening up more starts in left field for Jasson Dominguez.

Yankees' Trent Grisham: Dealing with hamstring injury
Rotowire
Grisham (hamstring) exited Monday's contest against Toronto due to left hamstring tightness, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
Grisham likely suffered the injury while on base in the fourth inning after he led off the frame with a single. The outfielder can be considered day-to-day for the time being until the Yankees release any further information on his status. In the meantime, Jasson Dominguez took over in center field Monday, and he'd stand to fill that role in Grisham's place moving forward if Grisham is sidelined for any additional action.
