Kaelen Culpepper was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Yankees with left hamstring tightness.

Culpepper tweaked his hamstring while trying to beat out a double play in the sixth inning. He finished 0-for-3 at the plate. It sounds like a precautionary exit, but he’ll presumably undergo imaging to determine the severity of the issue. He was back in the lineup after missing two games earlier this week with a shoulder contusion. There should be an update on his status prior to Wednesday’s series finale.
