Grisham takes a seat against a lefty

NYY Center Fielder #12

Player Stats

Trent Grisham is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Rays

With the Rays throwing left-hander Shane McClanahan, the Yankees will play Max Schuemann in center field and have Grisham on the bench. In five games since coming off the injured list, Grisham has gone 4-for-18 with two doubles, a home run, five runs scored, two RBI, and a steal. He also has a 58 percent hard-hit rate in that incredibly small sample size, so he should heat up again with more at-bats under his belt.

Trent Grisham went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Friday’s loss to the Blue Jays.

Grisham smacked his 16th homer of the season in the sixth inning off Shane Bieber to briefly give the Yankees a 1-0 lead. It’s the fifth homer of the month for Grisham, who has enjoyed a bit of a power surge in August. He’s been one of the most productive hitters for the Yankees this month, as he’s now hit safely in six straight games and is slashing .304/.319/.739 in August.

Trent Grisham went 3-for-4 with three runs scored, two home runs and four RBI against the Mariners on Wednesday.

Grisham now has 15 home runs on the season. He hit a solo shot off Bryce Miller in the sixth inning and a two-run shot off Mariners reliever Nick Davila in the eighth inning. Grisham’s power is noticeably down from his career-high 34 home run season last year. He’s hitting .222 with a .732 OPS and 50 RBI.

Trent Grisham went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and a double as the Yankees fell to the Braves 2-1 in 10 innings.

Grisham provided the only offense New York could muster in Sunday’s matinee, smacking a game-tying homer off Didier Fuentes in the bottom of the eighth. The Yankees lost in extras and are now 41-41 since May 6. They’ve struggled offensively with Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Cody Bellinger all sidelined. Grisham remains the primary leadoff option against right-handers, which keeps his fantasy value afloat.

Trent Grisham went 2-for-5 with a double and a home run in a loss to the Cardinals on Monday.

Boy, did Grisham need this one. The 29-year-old hit .165/.242/.306 in 85 at-bats in July. He has posted great batted ball data for much of this season and was playing great baseball before a hamstring injury sidelined him in the middle of June. Maybe this will be the game that gets him going again.
Max Schuemann

NYY Left Fielder #30

Yankees sent INF Max Schuemann outright to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Schuemann passed through waivers unclaimed after being removed from New York’s 40-man roster to make room at Monday’s trade deadline. The 29-year-old figures to stick around as organizational depth for the final two months of the season.
Max Schuemann

NYY Left Fielder #30

Yankees optioned INF/OF Max Schuemann to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Schuemann was in a 1-for-18 slump to begin the second half, so he’s the choice to go to make room for Luis García Jr. This will probably lead to some additional outfield time for José Caballero.
Trent Grisham

NYY Center Fielder #12

Trent Grisham is back in the leadoff spot for Wednesday’s game against the White Sox.

Grisham is back in the leadoff spot to face White Sox righty Davis Martin. The 29-year-old has hit towards the middle of the order recently as the Yankees attempt to cobble things together without both Aaron Judge (rib) and Cody Bellinger (hamstring) for the next couple weeks.
Max Schuemann

NYY Shortstop #30

Max Schuemann is hitting leadoff on Monday against the White Sox.

Sure, why not. Schuemann has posted a respectable .378 on-base percentage through 36 games this season, which earns him the opportunity to face White Sox starter Noah Schultz with Trent Grisham on the bench and Paul Goldschmidt hitting third. It’s unclear whether this is a one-game outlier or the start of a larger trend for Yankees manager Aaron Boone. We’ll see.
Max Schuemann

NYY Shortstop #30

Even though the Yankees are facing a lefty in the Phillies’ Jesús Luzardo, Max Schuemann is on the bench for a fifth straight game on Friday.

Schuemann (.906) has a far better OPS against lefties than Jasson Domínguez (.693), José Caballero (.657), Anthony Volpe (.657) and Amed Rosario (.656), but he wasn’t picked over any of them tonight. He has just three at-bats so far in the second half.

Trent Grisham went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer to lead the Yankees to a 4-2 win over the Nationals on Saturday.

Grisham knocked a base hit in the sixth inning, then put the Yankees ahead with a two-run homer off Clayton Beeter in the eighth, putting New York in position to steal the late victory. The 29-year-old outfielder is up to 10 homers, 48 runs scored, and 40 RBI while slashing .238/.338/.426 across 299 plate appearances.

Corey Seager is not in the Rangers’ starting lineup for Sunday’s divisional matchup against the Athletics.

The Rangers are being sure to mix in plenty of days off for the 32-year-old slugger and it makes sense to do so with left-hander Jacob Lopez toeing the slab for the A’s on Sunday afternoon. Expect Seager to make an appearance off the bench in this one if the right situation arises. Ezequiel Duran will start at shortstop in his place and bat second for the Rangers.

Michael Busch is absent from the Cubs’ starting lineup for Sunday’s soiree against the Cardinals.

Busch had been mired in a bit of a power outage lately, slashing just .253/.290/.316 with one homer, nine RBI and an 18/4 K/BB ratio over 100 plate appearances in his last 22 ballgames. He’ll get a day off to reset in this one with Pedro Ramirez filling in at first base and batting sixth against Cardinals’ right-hander Hunter Dobbins.

Nationals’ manager Blake Butera told reporters on Sunday that star outfielder James Wood (oblique) has been slow to progress in his recovery.

Butera didn’t term it as a setback necessarily, but he still isn’t ready to progress to more strenuous baseball activities. At this rate, it would be surprising to see him back it back before the end of August.

Hunter Goodman (shoulder) was held out of the Rockies’ lineup for a third consecutive game on Sunday.

The Rockies had been hopeful that Goodman would return to the lineup on Saturday but was ultimately scratched due to inflammation in his shoulder. If he isn’t ready to go for Monday’s series opener against the Dodgers, the Rockies may be forced to consider a backdated stint on the injured list. Brett Sullivan will once again fill in behind the dish and will bat eighth against the Giants on Sunday.

José Fermín is not in the Cardinals’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s showdown against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Fermín has become a fixture in the Cardinals’ lineup, splitting his time between left field and third base, but he’ll get a breather in this one. Blaze Jordan will take his place at the hot corner and will bat ninth against Cubs’ right-hander Edward Cabrera on Sunday.

Willy Adames (back) was held out of the Giants’ starting lineup for the third consecutive game on Sunday.

While the Giants have yet to place Adames on the injured list, it has to be a growing consideration at this point. It may actually be in the Giants’ best interest just to shut him down for the remainder of the season to ensure that he gets right heading into 2027. Fantasy managers who are relying on him for next week should have a contingency plan in place to be on the safe side.

Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone told reporters on Sunday that Cody Bellinger (hamstring) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday.

Bellinger will play in rehab games on Tuesday and Thursday — likely at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre — before being re-evaluated. If all goes well, he could be cleared to rejoin the Yankees’ lineup for their weekend series against the Blue Jays. The 31-year-old slugger has been shelved since late July due to a left hamstring strain.
