Overview

  • Grisham homered twice in Sunday’s win over Boston, giving him four multi-homer games this season and tying seasons by Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio among Yankees centerfielders.
  • He is up to 25 home runs in 113 games, surpassing his previous single-season high of 17 from 2022.
  • Installed at the top of the order, he has paired patience with power, including notable production when leading off.
  • Asked about his expiring contract, Grisham said he is trying to stay present, later adding that he likes New York but knows free agency brings uncertainty.
  • With Aaron Judge entrenched and Cody Bellinger expected to be a priority, plus Jasson Domínguez and Spencer Jones in the mix, media analyses suggest New York could move on, and MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch predicted he could be tendered a qualifying offer.
