It's a tough break for Granderson, who missed the first six weeks of the season with a broken forearm. He was activated from the disabled list 10 days ago. The Yankees will likely have a regular starting outfield of Vernon Wells, Brett Gardner and Ichiro Suzuki for the foreseeable future.

Granderson missed the first six weeks of the season after suffering a broken forearm on a pitch in spring training, returning to the team May 14. The Yankees did not immediately announce a timetable for his return, but it's likely he will be placed on the disabled list before Saturday's game.

Granderson seems likely to get x-rays on the hand. He was 0 for 2 before exiting.

"At some point you will probably get to where you will try and put out the same lineup every day," Girardi said. 

Girardi has a simple message for his outfielders.

"Just go out and play, that’s all you can do," Girardi said. "As we have seen there are so many things that can happen in this game that we might need to play all four of them."

Granderson was batting just .174 entering Wednesday's game.

"It’s just a matter of getting comfortable and getting timing right and getting in a rhythm and going from there," Granderson said, per The Journal News. "It’s one of those baseball things. You can’t really pinpoint it exactly. It’s just going to end up happening one day. Could be one swing. Could be one at-bat. Could be one day."

Granderson certainly was encouraged by his performance Wednesday.

"It’s a result-oriented game, so you always want to see that stuff," Granderson said. "At the same time, the feel is the most important thing. Whenever you do get the feel, then you’re in a better situation to get the results that you want. That’s what I’m still working on right now, just getting that feel."
