Grisham is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Grisham will take a seat while the Cubs send a lefty (Shota Imanaga) to the hill for the series finale, but the left-handed-hitting outfielder has also been seeing his playing time against right-handed pitching trend down of late. He's been on the bench for three of the Yankees' last four matchups against righties, with manager Aaron Boone seemingly prioritizing Jasson Dominguez in the lineup over Grisham.

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.

Rotowire
Grisham (hamstring) exited Monday's contest against Toronto due to left hamstring tightness, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
