Yankees Roster Shake-up: Key Player Still Sidelined
26 Sep
Summary
- Trent Grisham remains on injured list with hamstring strain.
- Yankees recalled pitchers Beck and de los Santos for Game 1.
- New York Yankees will play the Red Sox in the playoffs.
The New York Yankees have secured their playoff berth, officially set to face the Boston Red Sox in a best-of-three series starting Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium. This matchup was confirmed on Friday afternoon following the Red Sox's victory. However, the team continues to navigate roster challenges, particularly with center fielder Trent Grisham sidelined since June 13 due to a right hamstring strain.
Recent roster adjustments primarily involved pitching staff, with starters and relievers being recalled and optioned. Pitcher Brendan Beck and reliever Yerry de los Santos were recalled for Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Orioles. Following Game 1, Beck was optioned, and pitcher Alexander Cornielle was called up. This comes after Grisham and Giancarlo Stanton participated in live batting practice, with Grisham aiming for a Friday return, which did not materialize. The Yankees are evaluating options for their Wild Card Series roster.
