Grish accepted the one-year, $22.025 million qualifying offer from the Yankees on Tuesday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old had a breakout 2025 with 34 homers and an .812 OPS in 143 regular-season games, and it's not a major surprise he accepted the qualifying offer given that he had a .651 OPS across the previous three seasons. Grisham should be back in center field for the Yankees in 2026, though it would be a bit surprising if he replicated the elite power production.

EDGE Analysis

Grisham, off the heels of a breakout 2025 campaign, will now have to decide whether to accept the option or pursue a better deal in free agency. The veteran outfielder hit 34 homers during the regular season after never having hit more than 17 in a year. Grisham posted an OPS of .812 after not logging a figure higher than .675 in the past three seasons. Thursday's move means the Yankees would receive draft compensation if the left-handed outfielder leaves in free agency.

Grisham is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-swinging Grisham will take a seat as the Orioles send lefty Trevor Rogers to the bump. Cody Bellinger will slide over to center field and Austin Slater will receive a start in left field.

Grisham went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run and two walks in an 8-1 win over the White Sox on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Grisham added to New York's lead with a two-run blast to center field in the eighth inning. The veteran outfielder has racked up 34 home runs on the campaign -- twice as many as his previous career-high mark, which he established in 2022 with San Diego. Grisham has also set career highs in RBI (74) and runs scored (84), and his .819 OPS is on pace to be his best as a pro as well.

Grisham is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest in Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Grisham started against a lefty in Thursday's series opener, but he'll take a seat Friday as the Orioles send southpaw Trevor Rogers to the bump. Cody Bellinger will hold down center field for the Yankees.

Grisham went 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Wednesday's 10-5 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Grisham now has seven multi-homer games for his career, and five of them have come in 2025. Perhaps even more remarkably, three of these efforts have occurred in his last 26 outings (112 plate appearances), during which Grisham is slashing .223/.339/.606 with 12 round trippers, 25 RBI and two stolen bases to boost his OPS to a career-high .825 for the year.

Grisham went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-9 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Grisham played a big part in Tuesday's slugfest, pacing the Yankees with three RBI. The center fielder is putting together a career-best season, slashing .238/.347/.465 with nine doubles, a triple, 31 homers and 67 RBI through 133 games. The homer and RBI did both break a rare nine-game drought where Grisham was shut out in both categories.

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

EDGE Analysis

With ace southpaw Garrett Crochet on the bump for Boston, Grisham will head to the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Ryan McMahon and Austin Wells. Grisham's absence will open up a spot in the outfield for Austin Slater, who will cover right field and bat leadoff.

Grisham went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a second run scored in Thursday's 8-4 win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Grisham blew the game open with his eighth-inning blast, which secured his first 30-homer campaign. He's also set a new personal best with 64 RBI this year. The outfielder has surged in recent weeks, swatting nine of his 30 long balls over his last 15 games. He's settled in as the Yankees' leadoff hitter versus right-handed pitchers, batting .247 with an .840 OPS across 123 contests.

Grisham went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and a second run scored in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

For the second time in his last four games, Grisham delivered a grand slam. He's also racked up eight homers and 15 RBI across his last 13 games despite batting a modest .277 (13-for-47) in that span. The veteran outfielder is hitting .248 with an .841 OPS, 29 homers, 61 RBI, 73 runs scored and three stolen bases across 121 contests this season. Aside from steals, he's tracking toward a career year in most areas.
