Rotowire
Grisham went 2-for-3 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Friday's 5-2 win over the Twins.
Activated from the injured list earlier in the day, Grisham got the start in center field and hit leadoff, and he punctuated a seven-pitch at-bat in his first plate appearance by lofting a Mike Paredes changeup into the right-field short porch at Yankee Stadium. Grisham missed just under three weeks with a hamstring strain, but he's hit safely in eight straight games sandwiched around his IL stint, batting .424 (14-for-33) during that hot streak with five extra-base hits (two doubles, a triple and two homers), two steals, six RBI and nine runs.

Yankees' Trent Grisham: Expected back next week
Rotowire
Manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that Grisham (hamstring) is expected to return from the injured list during New York's upcoming homestand, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Grisham has been held out of action since June 13 due to a strained right hamstring. He's expected to head out on a rehab assignment before returning to the big club, but it seems like the Yankees will only keep him in the minors for a handful of games before adding him back to the active roster. Once healthy, he figures to reclaim his role as New York's everyday center fielder.

Yankees' Trent Grisham: Takes BP, likely to log rehab stint
Rotowire
Grisham (hamstring) traveled with the Yankees to Boston and took on-field batting practice Thursday, but he'll likely need to take part in a minor-league rehab assignment before being activated from the injured list, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Grisham seems to be making steady progress from the right hamstring strain that has kept him out of game action since June 12. The veteran outfielder had previously been limited to "light" on-field agility exercises, so his ability to take batting practice represents a tangible step in his progress toward a return. Though Grisham is with New York for its road trip, there is no expectation that he'll be activated in the coming days. Rather, he appears slated to take part in a minor-league rehab assignment at some point soon with the hope that he'll return to the Yankees before the All-Star break.

Yankees' Trent Grisham: Progressing well with hamstring
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Grisham has resumed taking part in light on-field agility exercises and is making good progress in his recovery from a moderate right hamstring strain, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Boone noted that a decision is still being made as to whether Grisham will accompany the Yankees on their seven-game road trip this week, but he wouldn't be a candidate to play in any of those contests and would merely be taking part in pregame work. In any case, Grisham seems to be coming along as well as the Yankees could have hoped since landing on the injured list June 13, potentially setting the stage for him to return to the lineup around the All-Star break. Since Grisham was deactivated, Spencer Jones and Cody Bellinger have been sharing time in center field.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Grisham has been diagnosed with a "moderate" right hamstring strain, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.
Grisham landed on the 10-day injured list over the weekend, and an MRI on Monday revealed the moderate strain. Boone did not offer a specific timetable for Grisham's return, but it wouldn't be a surprise if he's held out through the All-Star break. Spencer Jones and Cody Bellinger will be tasked with holding down center field while Grisham is out.
