Grisham is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
Grisham started in three of the Yankees' previous five matchups with lefty starters, but he'll be the odd man out of the outfield Wednesday while southpaw Ranger Suarez takes the hill for Boston. The Yankees will roll out an outfield of Randall Grichuk, Cody Bellinger and Aaron Judge from left to right.

Yankees' Trent Grisham: Smacks three-run homer
Rotowire
Grisham went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 7-0 win over the Royals.
The homer was the third of the season for Grisham. After posting a career-high .812 OPS a year ago over 143 regular-season games, the outfielder opened the year as New York's primary leadoff batter but may need to continue hitting well in order to earn that role back. He batted fifth in this game. Through 81 plate appearances in 2026, Grisham is slashing just .167/.321/.348 with five extra-base hits, 14 RBI and 10 runs scored.

Yankees' Trent Grisham: Delivers clutch homers off bench
Rotowire
Grisham went 2-for-3 with two home runs and five RBI in Monday's 11-10 win over the Angels.
Grisham completely changed the game after entering as a pinch hitter in the fifth inning, delivering a massive spark off the bench. His first swing of the night resulted in a three-run homer off Shaun Anderson that broke a tie and swung momentum in New York's favor. Later, with the Yankees down two in the ninth, Grisham came through again with a clutch game-tying two-run shot that kept the comeback alive and ultimately set the stage for the walk-off win. The homers were the 29-year-old's first two of the season and accounted for all five of his RBI on the night. Even with Monday's breakout, Grisham is still slashing just .167/.344/.354 with nine RBI through 61 plate appearances.

Yankees' Trent Grisham: Sitting against southpaw again
Rotowire
Grisham is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.
The left-handed-hitting Grisham has now been withheld from the lineup for all four of the Yankees' matchups with southpaw starters this season. Randal Grichuk will replace Grisham in the outfield while the Yankees face off against Yusei Kikuchi on Monday.
Yankees' Trent Grisham: Sitting out versus left-hander
Rotowire
Grisham is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Athletics.
The Yankees are facing a lefty for just the second time this season, and Grisham has been absent from the lineup for both contests. Cody Bellinger will slide over to center field and Randal Grichuk will get the start in left field.
Grisham is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against San Francisco.
Grisham will dodge a same-handed matchup with Robbie Ray on Friday, allowing for Cody Bellinger to slide to center field and Randal Grichuk to patrol left field. Grisham went 1-for-5 with a two-RBI triple in the Yankees' season opener Wednesday.
Grisham is slashing .143/.226/.179 with no homers, three RBI, one stolen base and a 3:8 BB:K through 11 Grapefruit League games.
When Grisham accepted the Yankees' $22.025 million qualifying offer in November, it signaled that he'd be part of the team's starting outfield for 2026. While that remains the likely scenario, Grisham's poor spring highlights the fact that 23-year-old phenom Jasson Dominguez has exploded with a .371/.395/.686 slash line in exhibition play (along with three homers and three thefts) but doesn't have a path to everyday playing time. Given his contract, Grisham will probably get the opportunity to prove that last year's career-best campaign wasn't a fluke, but if he starts the season slowly, he could have Dominguez breathing down his neck.
