The New York Yankees are not planning to activate outfielder Trent Grisham from the injured list during the final week of the regular season. Multiple reports say the decision is tied to both his ongoing hamstring recovery and roster planning needs for the postseason.
Grisham’s return is described as “a little complicated” because he still must complete specific steps as part of his return from a hamstring strain. In addition, the Yankees’ approach to building their playoff roster creates constraints that make an end-of-season activation less straightforward, according to the reports.
Both outlets frame the situation as a timing and roster-management issue rather than a change in the broader plan for Grisham to return later. Neither source indicates that his injury status has worsened; instead, they emphasize that the Yankees are weighing required rehab milestones and the mechanics of who can be carried on the postseason roster.
