2025 Fantasy Outlook
Grissom, who Boston acquired from Atlanta for Chris Sale during the 2024 offseason, was expected to start at second base but experienced groin and hamstring injuries in spring training. A failed bid to return in May led to a slower rehab path that kept him out until August. Once healthy, Grissom put together a three-week stretch of .366/.489/.549 at Triple-A Worcester and was added to the MLB roster in September. The cup of September java was small but encouraging; Grissom slashed .333/.370/.417 with two steals over eight games - better than his MLB line entering the season and more in common with his minor-league line (.312/.404/.463). The fact Sale won the NL Cy Young Award puts pressure on Grissom. Nobody is expecting the hitting equivalent of Cy Young at second base, but Grissom could put an end to the two-year rodeo at the position while providing double-digit home runs and steals. One wrinkle is that the Red Sox may deem prospect Kristian Campbell ready for MLB, and second base would be his optimal landing spot. Read Past Outlooks
Fails to make Opening Day roster
The Red Sox optioned Grissom to Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Grissom had seemingly fallen to third in line behind Kristian Campbell and David Hamilton in the second base competition, so it's not a surprise he's being cut from big-league camp. The 24-year-old has batted just .176 with a .535 OPS in 13 contests this spring.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
After getting traded from Atlanta to Boston this offseason for Chris Sale, Grissom should finally get to be an everyday second baseman in the big leagues. Grissom, 23, boasts a career .320/.407/.477 batting line in 1,474 minor-league plate appearances but was blocked at second base in Atlanta and not seen as a competent enough defensive shortstop to get regular work there. He is a career .287 hitter in the majors (.348 BABIP) and has five homers and five steals in 236 plate appearances. Grissom could push for a 15/15 season with excellent health, but the main selling point is the batting average floor - projection system Steamer has Grissom hitting .285 this year. He will be playing half his games in the second-best hitter's park, per Statcast's three-year rolling average. However, Fenway Park plays neutral for righty homers, as it's the second-best doubles park for righties due to the Green Monster. Grissom may lead off against lefties, but he could hit in the bottom third of the lineup against righties.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Possible trade candidate
Grissom is a potential trade chip this offseason, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Although there's work still to be done on defense, Grissom's bat is ready for an extended chance at the major-league level. It's difficult to see an immediate path for him in Atlanta, though, with both of its middle-infield spots spoken for. Grissom is a possibility to be used in a super-utility role, but the team might decide he's best used as trade bait.
