Red Sox's Vaughn Grissom: Three-hit night in loss
Vaughn 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: Sitting after three straight starts
Vaughn Grissom is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.Grissom had started each of the last three games at second base, going 4-for-11 with a walk, a double, two stolen bases, two RBI and one run. The Boston Red Sox could rotate a number of players at second base down the stretch, including Ceddanne Rafaela. Though Rafaela made each of his last five starts in center field, he may end up seeing more time at the keystone at Grissom's expense now that Tyler O'Neill has been cleared to play the outfield Wednesday after recently being held out of the lineup or limited to designated-hitter duties due to a back issue. Rafaela will join Grissom on the bench Wednesday, however, as Enmanuel Valdez gets the nod at second base.

Red Sox's Vaughn Grissom: Records RBI in win
Vaughn 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 Boston 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: Heading to Worcester for rehab
Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) will report to Triple-A Worcester during the All-Star break to begin a rehab assignment, Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.Grissom made progress over the previous week, regaining strength in his strained right hamstring to the point that the Boston Red Sox mapped out a rehab plan. The infielder will have a few days of workouts before beginning a rehab assignment. According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, Red Sox manager Alex Cora wouldn't definitively say that Grissom would serve as the club's everyday second baseman upon his return from the injured list, as David Hamilton has been producing well as the primary option at the position in recent weeks. Grissom has two minor-league options remaining and could stick around at Worcester once activated if regular at-bats aren't available to him in the big leagues.
