The Yankees designated Grichuk for assignment Wednesday.
The Yankees signed Grichuk to start in the outfield against left-handed pitching, but the right-handed batter went only 5-for-22 with zero RBI and a 1:8 BB:K versus southpaws. Grichuk should land on his feet in a new organization in short order, but he might have to go to the minors first. Grichuk's removal from the roster gives Jasson Dominguez a better chance to stick around indefinitely.
