On Thursday night, the New York Yankees will open up a series with the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.
They are coming off a series where they took two out of three games from the Detroit Tigers (in Michigan).
Yankees Still Remain Without Grisham

The Yankees continue to play without one of their best players, as Trent Grisham has been out since June 12.
Before getting hurt, the two-time Gold Glove Award winner had been batting .232 with 52 hits, eight home runs, 35 RBIs, 40 runs and six stolen bases in 66 games.
MLB.com wrote (on June 22): “Will join the club for its series in Boston to perform baseball activities such as batting practice, baserunning and shagging fly balls “with an eye toward” ramping it up next week, manager Aaron Boone said.”
According to the site, he is supposed to return to in July.

Grisham Making A Lot Of Money
Grisham is in his third season with the Yankees.
He had helped the franchise reach the World Series in 2024.
It’s worth noting that Grisham is making $22 million this season.
Before the Yankees, the 29-year-old had spent time with the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres (over nine total MLB seasons).

Grisham will become a free agent at the end of the 2026 season.
He is a very important player for the Yankees (and making a lot of money), so his health will be something to watch going forward.
