Yankees Trent Grisham vows to be better after taking 2025 defensive woes personallyThe 29-year-old is typically not big on looking at defensive metrics in part because he did not usually have to worry about them when they were strong.
Carlos Carrasco was tagged for five runs in 1 2/3 innings by the Yankees on Thursday.All five runs came in the first, when Carrasco was pulled with two outs. The second inning went smoothly, though, as he retired Trent Grisham, Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger in order. Carrasco remains a long shot to claim the fifth spot in Atlanta's rotation.
Yankees signed OF Randal Grichuk to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.Grichuk provides New York with another lefty-mashing platoon outfield option to spell Cody Bellinger and Trent Grisham. His arrival seems to further indicate that the Yankees would prefer to have Jasson Dominguez playing everyday at Triple-A instead of languishing on the bench. The 34-year-old veteran is coming off an underwhelming year split between the Royals and Diamondbacks where he batted .228/.273/.401 with nine homers in 113 games. He makes sense as a bench option with the Yankees but can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. offers the Yankees their best option in the leadoff spotTo keep the pressure off Ben Rice and Trent Grisham, Jazz Chisholm Jr. might be the best leadoff option for the Yankees.
Yankees ace Gerrit Cole faces hitters for first time since elbow surgery, throws 96.9 mphThe right-hander threw about 20 pitches of batting practice Friday, facing Trent Grisham, Aaron Judge and Jasson Dom nguez at the Yankees spring training facility. He threw his first bullpen session a week earlier.
