Four batters after Paul Goldschmidt hit a leadoff homer off Rangers left-hander Patrick Corbin for a 1-0 Yankees lead, Slater injured his hamstring running to first base on a two-on, one-out fielder’s choice groundball to short.

In the interim, the Yankees will likely continue with an outfield of Jasson Domínguez in left, Trent Grisham in center and Cody Bellinger in right on most days — though on Monday they had Austin Slater in left and Amed Rosario in right, stacking their lineup with right-handed bats against Rangers lefty Patrick Corbin.
