Both the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies are in the midst of playoff races in their respective divisions, and it appears they might be looking for some veteran help.

Both clubs are showing interest in Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Curtis Granderson, a source told MLB Network's Jon Morosi.

Granderson is very familiar with New York, spending four seasons with the Yankees before four more with the Mets.

Even after swinging several deals ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, the Yankees have reportedly been looking for a short-term replacement in the outfield for the injured Aaron Judge.

The Phillies recently acquired Asdrubal Cabrera, and were one of the teams reportedly in discussions for Manny Machado before he was dealt to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Granderson, a 15-year MLB veteran, has appeared in 86 games for the Blue Jays this season, authoring a .233/.334/.419 slash line with 10 home runs and 31 RBIs.
