Red Sox's Vaughn Grissom: Activated, batting seventh in debut

Grissom (hamstring/illness) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and is starting at second base Friday against the Twins.

The 23-year-old has recovered from a bout of the flu that delayed his Red Sox debut by a few days. Grissom has a career .287/.339/.407 slash line in 64 big-league games and should see plenty of playing time at the keystone for Boston.
