Grissom was removed from Wednesday's Cactus League game against the White Sox in the first inning due to a sore left hand, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grissom presumably sustained the injury on one of his swings in the top of the first, with the at-bat culminating in a strikeout. Kyren Paris came on to replace Grissom at shortstop in the bottom half of the inning. Grissom, who is competing for a utility role with the Angels, can be viewed as day-to-day.

Grissom was pulled from Wednesday's Cactus League game versus the White Sox in the first inning with an undisclosed injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grissom struck out to lead off the game in the top of the first inning and was then lifted before taking the field in the bottom of the frame. He did not suffer an obvious injury, but the Angels should offer an explanation soon as to why Grissom exited.

The Angels acquired Grissom from the Red Sox on Tuesday in exchange for Isaiah Jackson, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grissom had a forgettable tenure in Boston after being sent there from Atlanta in the Chris Sale trade. He slashed only .190/.246/.219 with zero home runs over 31 games during the 2024 season before spending all of 2025 at Triple-A Worcester, where he slashed .270/.342/.441 with 13 home runs. Grissom -- who will turn just 25 in January -- is out of minor-league options and will get a fresh start with the Angels. Most of Grissom's experience has come in the middle infield, but he's also handled third base, first base and left field.

The Red Sox recalled Grissom (foot) from Triple-A Worcester and placed him on the 60-day injured list Tuesday with plantar fasciitis, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old landed on Worcester's injured list in August due to right foot inflammation, and his 2025 campaign will come to an early end after being diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. Grissom spent the entire season at Triple-A and produced a .270/.342/.441 slash line with 13 homers and nine steals in 96 games.

Grissom was placed on the 7-day injured list by Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday due to right foot inflammation, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grissom lost the second base gig during spring training and has spent the entire 2025 season at Triple-A, where he owns a .270/.342/.441 slash line with 13 home runs, 48 RBI, 69 runs scored, nine stolen bases and a 37:73 BB:K across 418 trips to the plate. If he's able to get healthy, Grissom could be a candidate to join the Red Sox when rosters expand next month.

The Red Sox optioned Grissom to Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grissom had seemingly fallen to third in line behind Kristian Campbell and David Hamilton in the second base competition, so it's not a surprise he's being cut from big-league camp. The 24-year-old has batted just .176 with a .535 OPS in 13 contests this spring.

Grissom may be behind David Hamilton in the battle for the starting second base job, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Red Sox manager Alex Cora is expected to name his starter at second base soon, but it looks like both Grissom (.176 average, .535 OPS) and Kristian Campbell (15 strikeouts in 36 Cactus League at-bats) are losing out to Hamilton. The speedy Hamilton (.812 OPS, five steals) is out-hitting both competitors, and Cora's comments suggest he's more of a known commodity. The manager also noted Hamilton's improvement at the dish in 2024. The lone caveat here is if Rafael Devers eventually takes over at third base, which would likely mean Alex Bregman plays the keystone.

Grissom went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Friday's spring game against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

After going 1-for-13 to start Grapefruit League competition, Grissom has hit in three straight, going 4-for-9 with two walks, two doubles and two RBI. He opened spring training as one of a group competing for the starting job at second base. One of those competitors, Kristian Campbell, has recently received more playing time (and practice time) in the outfield, leaving Grissom and David Hamilton to patrol the keystone. The elephant in the room is how Red Sox manager Alex Cora deploys third baseman Rafael Devers (shoulder) and Alex Bregman. Devers is expected to begin playing spring games this week as the designated hitter while Bregman continues on at third base. If Cora eventually decides Devers will be his third baseman, that means Bregman would move to second base and limit Grissom's opportunities.

Grissom leads the Red Sox with six starts at second base this spring, Joe Weil of WEEI reports.

EDGE Analysis

Top prospect Kristian Campbell has only started once at the keystone while getting three starts in left field. Grissom is limited to second base, so it makes sense that he wouldn't be playing other positions, but if the Red Sox happen to start the season with Masataka Yoshida (shoulder) on the injured list, Grissom could be the Opening Day starter at second base.

Grissom started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's spring game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

While third base has been the hot topic at the start of Boston's spring training, it has great impact on second base. That's where Grissom, Kristian Campbell and David Hamilton are competing for the starting job. Campbell came off the bench Saturday, going 0-for-1 with a walk and made a diving snare off a line drive in the seventh inning. The second-base battle becomes moot if the Red Sox opt to leave Rafael Devers at third base and have Alex Bregman start at second base.
