Yankees face tough roster decision on Grisham ahead of playoff series
Summary

The New York Yankees are nearing a postseason series against the Boston Red Sox, projected to begin in a week. Yankees manager Aaron Boone is expected to make difficult roster choices, including leaving off outfielder Trent Grisham. Despite potential health, Grisham's disappointing season, without a significant playoff surge, makes his postseason role unlikely. Projections indicate that outfielder Amed Rosario may also not make the playoff roster, while Anthony Volpe, Jazz Chisholm Jr., and Jose Caballero are favored against the Red Sox's left-handed pitching.
