Trent Grisham Batting Ninth On Wednesday
Trent Grisham is in the starting lineup for Game 1 of the wild-card series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Grisham will be batting ninth and playing center field against left-handed starting pitcher Kwang Hyun Kim on Wednesday. Grisham had a breakout 2020, slashing .251/.352/.456 with 10 home runs, 26 RBI, 42 runs, and 10 stolen bases. Despite his 2020 breakout, given his splits against lefties this season, which includes just a .417 slugging percentage and two home runs in 67 plate appearances, he is a risky option in DFS play on Wednesday. This is particularly true given his intermediate price tag.

Trent Grisham Homers Monday
Trent Grisham went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in a 4-3 loss to the San Diego Padres on Monday. Grisham lifted his ninth homer of the season off New York starter Nick Pivetta in the third inning to give his team an early 2-0 lead. The veteran is putting together a strong start to the season for the Yankees, hitting .298 with nine homers, 17 runs, and 17 RBI across 84 at-bats. Grisham will look to continue his early-season success after hitting just nine homers in 76 games for New York last season. He's worth a look in deeper fantasy leagues while he's having success at the plate.

Trent Grisham Activated From Paternity List
Trent Grisham was activated from the paternity list prior to their contest on Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays. The outfielder was held out of action during their entire three-game set against the Cleveland Guardians at the start of the week. However, Grisham will be back in action for their weekend series in the Bronx against the Blue Jays. Grisham has enjoyed a productive start to the campaign, holding a stellar .320/.393/.700 slash line with two doubles and six long balls. Grisham has tallied 13 RBI and scored 12 runs. Even though he may occasionally sit against southpaws, he appears to have a significant role in the Yankee lineup, given his hot start. Fantasy managers should expect the 28-year-old to return to the starting nine on Friday to face Toronto right-hander Jose Berrios.

Trent Grisham Placed On Paternity List
Trent Grisham on the paternity list prior to Monday's series opener in Cleveland against the Guardians. Infield prospect Jorbit Vivas was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Grisham will most likely miss the entire three-game series against the Guardians this week before most likely rejoining the team for Friday's series opener in the Bronx against the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays. After hitting under .200 each of the previous three seasons with the Yankees and San Diego Padres, Grisham has been playing well above expectations in the first 20 games of the 2025 season in New York, slashing .320/.393/.700 with a 1.093 OPS, six home runs and 13 RBI in 56 plate appearances as the team's fourth outfielder. The 28-year-old is already three homers shy of his total from 2024.

Trent Grisham Blasts Two Homers
Trent Grisham had his power bat working for him during Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Grisham took left-hander Bailey Falter deep in the third inning. He followed that up with a three-run shot off Falter in the fifth inning. Grisham has been on fire lately considering he's 6-for-11 at the plate across his last three games. During that span, Grisham has three homers and seven RBI, so fantasy managers should play him while he's hot at the plate.
