Nick Swisher Out With Mild Hamstring Strain

Nick Swisher left Sundays game early after feeling discomfort in his left hamstring.

Swisher worked a walked against Tigers starter Max Scherzer in the 3rd inning and while jogging down to first base, he felt discomfort. Joe Girardi and Steve Donahue came out and Swisher was lifted. Andruw Jones pinch ran for him and went 2-2 on the day.

"He's got a real low-grade strain," Girardi said. "We've probably looking at more than a few days, but I'm not saying it's a DL situation. We'll have to see how it progresses in the next few days."

The Yankees did not expect to call up another outfielder. Brett Gardner is expected to return Thursday from the disabled list.
