Remember that logjam in the Yankee outfield? It's over.

In case you missed it last night - choosing to watch plucky upstart Team USA beat the mighty world power, Paraguay - while running to second, Trent Grisham grabbed his nut sack and checked out of the months of June and July. 

The Yankee brain trust calls it "Hamstring Tightness." The Yankee fan base calls it "Business As Usual." Of course, we all must wait until the newly gelded Grisham rises from bed and moves to pee. From there, it's a question of weeks... or months. 

Once again, we are traveling the Yankee Circle of Dread:

Be healed. Be horrid. Be hot. Be hurt. 

Repeat as necessary. 

So will disappear Grish, the hottest Yankee, until - well - the All-Star break? The trade deadline? By then, rest assured that a new wave of injuries will take over. (Watch yourself, Belli. Beware, Ben.) 

Two weeks ago, The Athletic published a thumb-sucker study that said the Yankees, Mets and Orioles are baseball's most injury prone organizations. Since 2024, the Yanks top the field in games lost due to Injury List designations. The story came down as Aaron Judge awaited scans of his fractured rib. 

So here we are, as always, waiting for mystery re-enforcements. 

Aside from Tommy John situations, I'd argue that hammies are the nastiest issues. They're a certain six-weeks in the Ice Bucket Challenge, and they bring continual false hopes. Remember "Setback Sevy" Severino? There's nothing more dangerous than a player who is itching to test his hamstring, absolutely sure that it's good to go. Grish is 29. He better take his time.

In this case, Yank fans will, at least, get their wishes granted. We will soon see an outfield of The Martian, Belli and Spencer Jones - (Hey, can we nickname him for the old NY Giant star receiver, Homer Jones?) 

Since Grisham accepted the Yankee Qualifying Offer last winter - ensuring that Jones and the Martian would spend April and May in Scranton, we have waited to see what the two most interesting prospects in our farm system have to offer.

Soon, we will see everything. 

And in our hearts, we know what will happen.

Horrid. Healed. Hot. Hurt. Repeat as needed.
