Add Trent Grisham to the list of Yankee injury concerns.
Grisham left Wednesday’s game against the Blue Jays with left knee discomfort, the Yankees announced and the center fielder will undergo imaging Thursday.
Grisham appeared to suffer the injury on a double in the bottom of the second, when his pop up down the left field line dropped in.
He remained in the game through the top of the fourth.
In the bottom of the inning, Spencer Jones was set to pinch-hit for Grisham before Paul Goldschmidt popped out to end the frame.
Jones then replaced Grisham in center in the top of the fifth.
The lefty-swining Jones entered Wednesday just 3-for-20 with three walks, 11 strikeouts and no extra-base hits since being recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to replace Jasson Domínguez, who’s on the IL with a sprained left shoulder.
Domínguez suffered that injury crashing into the left field fence at Yankee Stadium on May 7.
He started swinging off a tee Wednesday and there’s no timeline for his return.
Domínguez said before Wednesday’s game the sprained AC joint is “still a little uncomfortable.”
He’s played in nine games with the Yankees this season after opening the year with SWB.
Grisham, coming off a breakout season in which he hit 34 homers a year ago, has mostly struggled at the plate this season, with a .639 OPS.
