NEW YORK -- New York Yankees center fielder Curtis Granderson was held out Sunday's 8-3 loss to Baltimore as he dealt with mild tendinitis in his right hamstring, another blow to an already depleted lineup.

Following the game, Granderson said "everything felt good," but is not sure whether he will be back in the lineup Monday against Tampa.

"Big thing was to see how I was going to come back after going to sleep yesterday. But everything felt good," Granderson said. "We went through another round of treatment and stuff today. Treated it as an off day for the most part, didn't do anything besides walk around today. As of right now, again we'll see how everything comes back tomorrow and treat tomorrow like a normal practice day and see how everything goes from there."

Granderson said he will test his hamstring before Monday's 1:10 p.m. start through activities such as taking batting practice and shagging balls, but the focus will be on seeing how his hamstring feels. The outfielder said his spot in the lineup will be manager Joe Girardi's call, but he seemed optimistic that he might be able to get back in there.

"As of right now, things are looking very good," Granderson said.

Granderson was pulled in the second inning of Saturday's win over the Orioles, and Girardi had said he wanted to see how his center fielder felt on Sunday before making any decisions. Granderson ultimately had the day off and his replacement, Chris Dickerson, had a fantastic game as he went 1-for-1 with a two-run homer, a walk, and two runs scored.
