The New York Post’s Greg Joyce wrote on X: Trent Grisham is unlikely to be activated before the regular season ends, in part because of roster complications — Yankees would have to send someone down and not be able to call them back up for 10 days vs. possibility of activating Grisham right onto playoff roster.
