Granderson appeared to tweak his hamstring while batting in the first inning. The injury is not believed to be serious, but any kind of knee or leg issue is always a concern when dealing with a speedy outfielder.
It does not appear that Granderson will miss more than a day or two, although the club will hold their breath until the MRI results come in. The 31-year-old outfielder is having another terrific season in New York, batting .235 with 34 homers, 79 runs batted in, nine steals and a .810 OPS.
