Yankees consider reducing role for struggling outfielder Trent Grisham

As of August 7, 2026, the New York Yankees are evaluating the performance of outfielder Trent Grisham due to his significant struggles at the plate. Grisham is hitting.211 this season, with only 12 home runs and a.689 OPS. Over the past three weeks, he has managed just eight hits in 70 at-bats, leading to discussions about his future with the team. The Yankees, currently battling to secure a postseason position without Aaron Judge, might reduce Grisham’s role in the lineup to give opportunities to younger players. Possible alternatives like George Lombard Jr. and Spencer Jones await their chances as the Yankees navigate their offensive challenges.
