• Red Sox's Vaughn Grissom: Three-hit night in loss

  09/28/2024 • By RotoWire

  Grissom went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 2-1 loss to Tampa Bay. Grissom, who started for the fourth time in the last five games, is 7-for-18 (.389) with a double, two RBI and two steals since being called up last week. It was a rough year for the 23-year-old, whose spring training groin/hamstring injury lingered for months. A positive finish to the season, including a productive stint at Triple-A Worcester, should put him in line to be Boston's starter at second base in 2025.

• Red Sox's Vaughn Grissom: Swipes second bag

  09/25/2024 • By RotoWire

  Grissom went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays. The 23-year-old is getting a shot at regular playing time over the final week of the season, and Grissom took advantage of the opportunity Tuesday. In four appearances since his return to the majors, including three straight starts at second base, he's gone 4-for-12 with one run, two RBI and both his steals on the year. Grissom has had a tough 2024 campaign, but he could still head into spring training next year as the favorite to start at the keystone.

• Red Sox's Vaughn Grissom: Records RBI in win

  09/24/2024 • By RotoWire

  Grissom started at second base and went 0-for-3 with an RBI in Monday's 4-1 win over Toronto. Grissom knocked in Boston's first run with a sacrifice fly in the second inning. It was his first RBI since rejoining the Red Sox late last week. He's been in the lineup three consecutive days, including the nightcap of Sunday's doubleheader, and should get plenty of opportunities at second base over the final week of the regular season. The position, which he had been expected to fill prior to injuries flaring up in spring training, has been a revolving door for Boston in 2024. Grissom is looking to build off a month of sustained success at Triple-A Worcester, for whom he batted .366/.489/.549 with 18 walks, four home runs, 18 RBI and 17 runs scored over 21 games before his elevation to the majors.

• Red Sox's Vaughn Grissom: Could be optioned after rehab

  07/30/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Red Sox are considering optioning Grissom (hamstring) to Triple-A Worcester following the conclusion of his minor-league rehab assignment, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. Grissom has to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list by Aug. 9, but the Red Sox may be inclined to leave him at Worcester at that time rather than clearing a spot for him on the 26-man active roster. The 23-year-old has slashed a woeful .148/.207/.160 in 23 contests with the Red Sox this season and is hitting just .231/.333/.269 so far in seven rehab games with Worcester.

• Red Sox's Vaughn Grissom: Productive rehab start

  07/22/2024 • By RotoWire

  Grissom (hamstring) started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in a rehab game for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday. Grissom played six innings in the field before being removed. He began his rehab assignment Saturday, serving as the designated hitter and going hitless in two at-bats with two walks and a stolen base. The Red Sox believe Grissom could need close to the maximum 20 days for his rehab assignment, pushing his potential return from the 10-day injured list into the second week of August.
