Grisham is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Grisham recently made four consecutive starts in center field, but three came while Alex Verdugo was away from the team on paternity leave. With Verdugo having rejoined the Yankees on Thursday, Grisham has predictably moved back into a fourth-outfielder role. He'll take a seat for the third straight game Sunday.

Grisham will start in center field and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Orioles, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grisham will get his fourth straight start in center field, but his run of regular playing time should soon come to an end. During the first three starts, the Yankees were without Alex Verdugo (personal), who was on the paternity list. Verdugo has rejoined the Yankees for Thursday's series finale in Baltimore and will start in left field, but New York will have room in center field for Grisham once again while Aaron Judge serves as the designated hitter in place of a resting Giancarlo Stanton. Grisham will be relegated to the fourth-outfielder role for games in which all of Judge, Verdugo, Stanton and Juan Soto are included in the lineup.

Grisham will start in center field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

He'll crack the lineup for just the second time in the Yankees' first seven games of the season while Giancarlo Stanton gets a breather and Aaron Judge fills in for him as the designated hitter. While all of Stanton, Judge, Juan Soto and Alex Verdugo are all healthy, Grisham looks as though he'll be limited to a fourth-outfielder role.

Grisham signed a one-year, $5.5 million contract with the Yankees on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grisham was acquired by the Yankees this offseason in a trade also involving Juan Soto. He's likely to serve as the team's fourth outfielder to begin 2024, though he could get some extra appearances late in games due to his strong defense.

The Padres traded Grisham and Juan Soto to the Yankees on Wednesday in exchange for Kyle Higashioka, Michael King, Drew Thorpe, Jhony Brito and Randy Vasquez, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grisham finished with 13 homers and 50 RBI last year, but he has hit below .200 in each of his last two seasons. His recent performance combined with the presence of Aaron Judge, Alex Verdugo and now Juan Soto in New York's outfield almost certainly locks Grisham into a reserve role with the Yankees in 2024.

Grisham is not in the lineup Wednesday at San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

It's the second straight absence for Grisham, with the Padres facing back-to-back lefties. Jose Azocar will start in center field and bat eighth in Wednesday's series finale against the Giants and southpaw Sean Manaea.

Grisham is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Jose Azocar will start in center field and bat eighth for the Padres with left-hander Kyle Harrison toeing the slab in San Francisco. The left-handed-hitting Grisham has gone 0-for-20 with five walks and six strikeouts over his last nine games.

Grisham is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Grisham is mired in an 0-for-17 slump and will take a seat Sunday with lefty Drew Rom pitching for St. Louis. Jose Azocar will start in center field and bat ninth.

Grisham is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies, according to Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune.

EDGE Analysis

Grisham will head to the bench for a second straight day with southpaw Ty Blach getting the start for Colorado on Monday. As was the case Sunday, Jose Azocar will man center field in Grisham's place.

Grisham is out of the lineup Sunday against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

It's just Grisham's fourth time on the bench in the Padres' past 18 games, but those absences have come against the only left-handed starters they've faced. Lefty Ken Waldichuk will serve as Oakland's bulk pitcher behind an opener Sunday, and Jose Azocar will start in center field for San Diego.
