AP) -- Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher left Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays after fouling a pitch off his left knee.
Facing reliever Casey Janssen in the seventh inning, Swisher fouled a 1-2 pitch off his knee and fell to the ground in pain.
Trainer Gene Monahan and manager Joe Girardi came out to check on Swisher, who stayed in the game for two more pitches before being replaced by Brett Gardner, who struck out looking. The strikeout was charged to Swisher.
Swisher is batting .292 with 22 home runs and 70 rbis in 120 games.
Nick will have the knee evaluated tomorrow, and he's hopeful to be back in the Yankee lineup.
