Vaughn Grissom

The Angels are acquiring infielder Vaughn Grissom in a trade with the Red Sox.

Fantasy Impact

Grissom will join his third team in the first four years of his career. He struggled to the tune of a .190 average across 31 games last season after showing flashes in the two years prior with the Braves. He lands a fresh start with the Angels.

The Red Sox recalled INF Vaughn Grissom from Triple-A Worcester and placed him on the 60-day injured list with plantar fasciitis.

Grissom will miss the rest of the season. He has spent the year in Triple-A.

The Red Sox sent Vaughn Grissom to Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, per team updates, trailing Kristian Campbell and David Hamilton in the second base race.

Fantasy Impact

Grissom’s .176 average and .535 OPS in 13 spring games drop him behind Campbell and Hamilton for the Red Sox’s second base job, landing him in Worcester Wednesday. The 24-year-old’s bid fades. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues should stash him, expecting his bat to rebound for a midseason call-up if Boston needs infield help in 2025.

Vaughn Grissom is reportedly considered the favorite to start at second base on Opening Day entering spring training.

Fantasy Impact

Grissom is seemingly competing with Kristian Campbell for the job throughout the next month. He hit .190 across 105 at-bats with the Red Sox last season.

Vaughn Grissom went 3-for-4 with a run scored in the Red Sox's 2-1 loss to the Rays.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the team's defeat, Grissom's performance was a bright spot, marking a significant improvement over his season, posting a batting average of .192. This game could be a turning point for Grissom, who has struggled to find consistency at the plate throughout the season. His ability to hit safely three times in this game might hint at an upward trend as he seeks to establish himself more firmly in the lineup. However, fantasy managers should remain cautious.
