Availability
Randal Grichuk has signed a minor league deal with the New York Yankees. The agreement includes a non-roster invitation to spring training.
Fantasy Impact
Grichuk has quietly put together a solid 12-year major league career and the Yankees, if he appears in a regular season game, would be his seventh different team. Grichuk is a career .251 hitter with 1,126 hits, 268 doubles, 212 home runs, and 629 RBI in 1,360 career games. He has a career OPS of .819 against lefthanded pitching and has slashed .278/.336/.530 in 125 career plate appearances at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees were looking for another righthanded bat and Grichuk helps to fill that void. It will be interesting to see what happens between him and Jasson Dominguez for the fourth outfield spot.
Randal Grichuk has declined his portion of a mutual option with the Royals.
Fantasy Impact
Grichuk is now free to test the free agent market after posting a .206 average in 43 games with the Royals. He will likely have to settle into a platoon role heading into 2026.
Randal Grichuk went 1-for-2 in the loss to the Angels with a home run and one RBI.
Fantasy Impact
After today’s matchup, Grichuk has a .228 batting average with nine home runs and 27 RBI across 111 games this season. He has struggled at the plate lately, hitting .194 over his last 15 games.
Randal Grichuk went 2-for-5 with a home run on Monday against the Braves.
Fantasy Impact
Grichuk was traded to Kansas City last week. He should continue to platoon in the outfield for the Royals.
The Arizona Diamondbacks traded Randal Grichuk to the Kansas City Royals for Andrew Hoffmann on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Grichuk's addition brings timely outfield depth to the Royals, especially after Jac Caglianone left Saturday's contest with a hamstring injury. If Caglianone is sidelined, Grichuk, who is slashing .240/.277/.457 in 175 at-bats this season, will likely see plenty of action in the outfield.
