Grichuk was designated for assignment to make room for Elmer Rodriguez, who is going to start on Wednesday in his MLB debut. However, with Anthony Volpe set to come off the injured list this week, Jose Caballero can begin to play more outfield against left-handed pitching, which means the Yankees no longer have a need for Grichuk.

Boone added that Oswaldo Cabrera will be optioned to Triple-A. This was the most logical outcome after former top prospect Jasson Domínguez was shipped to Triple-A on Friday. Grichuk was in camp as a non-roster invitee vying for a spot on the club’s bench. He’ll get opportunities against left-handed pitching whenever Trent Grisham or Cody Bellinger need a break.

Grichuk provides New York with another lefty-mashing platoon outfield option to spell Cody Bellinger and Trent Grisham. His arrival seems to further indicate that the Yankees would prefer to have Jasson Domínguez playing everyday at Triple-A instead of languishing on the bench. The 34-year-old veteran is coming off an underwhelming year split between the Royals and Diamondbacks where he batted .228/.273/.401 with nine homers in 113 games. He makes sense as a bench option with the Yankees but can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.

In return for Grichuk, the Royals are sending the Diamondbacks right-handed reliever Andrew Hoffmann. The 33-year-Grichuk has homered seven times while hitting .243 with a .742 OPS. He’ll be in the lineup against left-handers for sure, but the Royals’ struggling offense could make Grichuk an everyday player for the final two months.

The Diamondbacks are not locked into the “seller” role, but unless something changes in the next few weeks, it would be smart of them to consider offers for players who are not likely to be part of their future. Grichuk seems to be the most likely to be dealt since he’s playing on a one-year contract with a mutual option for next season. Gurriel has $13 million guaranteed for 2026, which could make it harder for the Diamondbacks to find a trade partner for him, and they may be less inclined to trade Thomas, who used to be one of the top prospects in baseball and is under team control for a few more years.

Grichuk got the start against southpaw Tyler Anderson, and he hit his first homer off Anderson and another off left-handed Reid Detmers. The veteran outfielder now has seven homers on the season while slashing .241/.281/.468 over 158 at-bats.

Grichuk entered the game as a pinch-hitter for Pavin Smith in the sixth inning and lined out to center field in his first plate appearance before plating two runs on an inside-the-park home run in the eighth inning. The 33-year-old outfielder is hitting .236/.276/.431 with five homers, 22 runs scored, and 18 RBI across 156 plate appearances.
