Trent Grisham Nearing Return After Hamstring Rehab Stint

Yankees say a short minor-league rehab assignment and a game or two will likely clear him to rejoin the roster, a move that will force an immediate outfield roster choice.

Overview

  • Grisham rejoined the Yankees in Boston on Thursday and took batting practice and did outfield work, with manager Aaron Boone calling his progress 'encouraging' and saying he is 'getting close.'
  • Boone has said Grisham will probably need a short Minor League rehab assignment and will likely appear in a rehab game or two before the team activates him.
  • Grisham has been on the injured list since June 13 with a right hamstring strain and has resumed controlled baseball activity as he completes the final steps of recovery.
  • His return is expected to create an immediate roster decision, with reporting noting Spencer Jones is the likely candidate to be optioned to Triple-A to clear a spot.
  • There is uncertainty about how much playing time Grisham will get because his 2026 totals (.232/.341/.406) contrast with a weak .194/.212/.323 line in 16 games with New York, and the club is still managing injuries to Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton.
