SAN DIEGO (AP) — Center fielder Trent Grisham left the New York Yankees' game Friday night against San Diego 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. In the bottom of the inning, he had a hard time getting to Xander Bogaerts' RBI single.
He was being taken out after the top of the third.
Manager Aaron Boone said Grisham will likely undergo imaging.
Grisham said he felt something in his hamstring while trying to steal the base.
Grisham said the timing of the injury “is disappointing for sure. But that's part of the game. That's what we sign up for. Hopefully it's nothing too problematic.”
The Yankees lost 3-2 on Luis Campusano's two-run home run in the 10th.
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 came into Friday night hitting .211 with 18 homers and 59 RBIs.
He played with the Padres from 2020 through 2023 before being traded to the Yankees along with Juan Soto in a seven-player blockbuster Dec. 7, 2023.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Luis Campusano hit a two-run homer with one out in the 10th inning and the San Diego Padres beat the New York Yankees 3-2 on Friday night to move back into the third National League wild-card spot.
The Padres won for just the second time in seven games and leapfrogged Arizona back into playoff position.
New York dropped four games behind first-place Tampa Bay in the AL East.
Campusano homered to left field off Paul Blackburn (7-3), his sixth. It came a half-inning after rookie Spencer Jones hit an RBI single to give the Yankees a 2-1 lead against his hometown Padres.
The 25-year-old Jones, who played at La Costa Canyon High in northern San Diego County, was playing for the first time as a big leaguer at Petco Park. After going 0 for 3, he singled to center off All-Star closer Mason Miller (5-2) to bring in automatic runner Luis García Jr. for a 2-1 lead.
Jones, who advanced to second on the throw, was thrown out trying to steal third as Heliot Ramos struck out.
Miller came into a 1-all game in the ninth and retired the side.
The Padres then got a baserunner to third with two outs before David Bednar struck out Austin Hays.
Ben Rice homered to the base of the batter's eye in straightaway center field off Walker Buehler with two outs in the third to tie the game at 1. It was the All-Star's 36th.
San Diego had gone up 1-0 when Ty France led off the second with a double against former Padres farmhand Max Fried, advanced on Jackson Merrill's sacrifice bunt and scored on Xander Bogaerts' single to center.
Yankees LHP Carlos Rodón (4-3, 3.20 ERA) and Padres LHP Robbie Ray (11-7, 3.14) are scheduled to start Saturday.
