Swish leaves after 1st inning with stiff knee

Nick Swisher left today’s game after the first inning with stiffness in his left knee, according to the Yankees. Jack Curry first reported it, referencing the injury as a follow-up from when he fouled a ball off his knee in Toronto.

He’s day-to-day, and Curtis Granderson replaced him in the lineup.

I suspect Swish will sit out tomorrow and then maybe return Saturday. Today was the first of five day games in a row at Yankee Stadium.

I’ll update this post if more information becomes available.
