Aaron Boone is ‘Encouraged’ by How Well Trent Grisham is Doing After Hamstring Injury
Trent Grisham injured his hamstring on June 12 while rounding first base and sliding into second after hitting a single. Aaron Boone and the New York Yankees initially reported that Grisham would be down for a “few weeks”.
However, it seems as if the rehab process has been smooth sailing for the 29-year-old.
Yankees reporter Bryan Hoch posted to X following the Yankees’ pregame press conference saying that Grisham has been performing on-field agility exercises.
“Trent Grisham has been performing on-field agility exercises,” Hoch wrote. “The Yankees are discussing whether he will accompany them on their trip to Detroit/Boston. ‘We’re really encouraged by how well he’s doing,’ Aaron Boone said.”
After their game against the Cincinnati Reds today, the Yankees face the Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox on the road.
Grisham is one of three Yankees’ position players on the IL right now. The other two being Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge.
Before his injury, Grisham was slashing .232/.341/.406 with an OPS of .747 and eight home runs.
Grisham was traded to the Yankees–along with Juan Soto–in December 2023 in a blockbuster trade with the San Diego Padres. After the trade, Grisham had one of the worst offensive seasons of his career, but picking things up in 2025.
The Yankees offered Grisham a qualifying offer this offseason, to which he accepted for a one-year, $22,025,000 contract.
