Impact Grissom, who began his assignment April 12, served as the designated hitter for three games before moving to the field Friday. He followed up in the field for a second consecutive day Saturday. Grissom is trending in the right direction, but the Red Sox are not going to rush him. He's learning a new position, and manager Alex Cora wants him to build up reps at second base.

Could return in mid-to-late April Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Sunday that Grissom (groin) won't be available for Opening Day but could be ready in mid-to-late April, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 23-year-old's groin strain has never been viewed as a long-term injury, and Cora's comments Sunday reiterate that sentiment. Still, Grissom will miss at least most of the first month of the season. He's taking part in baseball activities and should continue ramping up his workload during the final days of camp.

Remains unlikely for Opening Day Grissom remains unlikely to be ready for Opening Day, but his left groin strain is not considered a long-term injury, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Grissom has yet to play this spring because of hamstring and groin problems. It's not clear when he might be ready for game action, but the Red Sox are optimistic his impending stay on the injured list will be a short one. Enmanuel Valdez is in line to handle second base duties while Grissom is sidelined.

Oft-injured left-hander Chris Sale is traded to Braves from Red Sox for infielder Vaughn Grissom

Chris Sale’s injury-filled career with the Boston Red Sox ended when the 34-year-old left-hander was traded to the Atlanta Braves for infielder Vaughn Grissom

DECEMBER 30, 2023 • Associated Press

Dealt to Boston Atlanta traded Grissom to the Red Sox on Saturday in exchange for Chris Sale and cash, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Grissom has shown tremendous upside at the plate to begin his MLB career, slashing .287/.339/.407 with five homers and 27 RBI across 236 plate appearances. However, defensive struggles and a myriad of talent on Atlanta's roster have kept Grissom from seeing consistent playing time. Now in Boston, the 22-year-old infielder will have a clearer path to regular at-bats, though he may still receive competition from Enmanuel Valdez and Trevor Story.

DECEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could be moved to left field Atlanta general manager Alex Anthopoulos said Wednesday that the team is considering moving Grissom to left field, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Grissom has only played shortstop, second base and third base as a professional, but all of those positions are spoken for long term at the major-league level. Atlanta wants to find a clearer path for the 22-year-old, who slashed .330/.419/.501 across 468 plate appearances this past season with Triple-A Gwinnett.

NOVEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will be on NLDS roster Grissom will be part of Atlanta's roster for the NLDS against the Phillies, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Grissom posted a weak .659 OPS over 80 major-league plate appearances during the regular season, but he had a .921 OPS in 468 plate appearances with Triple-A Gwinnett. The talented 22-year-old infielder can function as a useful pinch-runner, bench bat and possible defensive replacement in Atlanta's best-of-five NLDS matchup versus Philadelphia.

Returns from MiLB IL Grissom (hip) was activated from the 7-day injured list Thursday, per the MiLB's transactions log.

Impact Grissom ended up on the injured list Sept. 11 due to a right hip injury, but it ended up being a short absence for the second baseman. He's slashing .332/.421/.505 with eight homers, 60 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 72 runs scored over 96 contests so far this year.
