Yankees' Austin Wells misses 4th straight start due to left index finger

TORONTO -- Austin Wells was out of the starting lineup for a fourth straight game Wednesday as Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the catcher had had recovered from an invasive test for a circulatory issue in his left index finger.

"Wellsy is good to go," Boone said. "He'll be in there tomorrow starting, and available tonight."

Ben Rice was set to catcher against Toronto on Wednesday night after making his second and third starts behind the player this season against the Athletics last weekend.

Outfielder Trent Grisham remained sidelined because of a tight left hamstring but Boone said his condition continues to improve.
