Yankees place surging outfielder on paternity list, promote red-hot infielder
Kim Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images Kim Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images The New York Yankees announced today that outfielder Trent Grisham was placed on the Paternity List, calling up infielder Jorbit Vivas in his place. Grisham had slugged six home runs with a 1.093 OPS through 20 games to start the season, as Aaron Boone has gotten him into the lineup more frequently as a result of Giancarlo Stanton's injury and his great play. They'll miss his bat in Cleveland, but the news of welcoming a child into the world is beyond exciting, and we extend our congratulations to him and his family. Advertisement In his place will be infielder Jorbit Vivas, whom the team acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers last season when they also acquired Victor Gonzalez. He has a 152 wRC+ with a .432 OBP through his first 20 games at the Triple-A level, and the Yankees will have some extra infield depth with the looming suspension of Jazz Chisholm, which he is still appealing.

The Yankees have been able to pencil him into the lineup and get production consistently, especially in the power department, and they're hoping not to be without their star outfielder for too long. Thankfully, he won't be missing time with injury, but instead due to the welcoming of a child into the world, which usually doesn't keep a player off the field for too long. Advertisement With Ben Rice potentially available for today's game and Jazz Chisholm having a suspension he's yet to serve as he's still appealing, the addition of an infielder to the roster isn't a bad choice. Everson Pereira, an outfielder, might have been the more logical choice for Grisham on the surface, but the stack of right-handed pitchers that they're slated to face in Cleveland makes a left-handed hitter more valuable to the roster.

The Yankees believe internally that the injury he suffered on a foul ball in their last Spring Training game last year put him on his back foot, and that there's more to unlock with the bat. So far, they're seeing it with Vivas controlling the zone well and spraying line drives across the field, and he could be extremely valuable if Jazz Chisholm has to serve his suspension. Advertisement A strong defensive second baseman, Vivas can provide a strong at-bat against a right-handed pitcher and swipe some bases if he reaches. They have a plethora of left-handed bats who can do damage, and a hit here or a sacrifice fly there in a spot start is all they would really ask for from the 24-year-old. Whether he gets into a game or not remains to be seen; the Yankees promoted Vivas to the big leagues last season for a three-game series in Baltimore but did not play him in a single game.

Blue Jays Make Roster Announcement Before Mariners Game
The Toronto Blue Jays have been up-and-down recently, winning two out of three games against the Atlanta Braves after splitting two against the Baltimore Orioles, winning three of four against the Boston Red Sox, and getting swept by the New York Mets. However, these are good times in Toronto, as it's just one game behind the New York Yankees for first place in the AL East and recently locked up superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on a 14-year, $500 million contract extension. Advertisement Now, the Blue Jays (11-8) are getting even more good news that'll help them get through Daulton Varsho's (shoulder) injury. Toronto Blue Jays center fielder Nathan Lukes (38)© Nick Turchiaro-Imagn Images Outfielder Nathan Lukes will be reinstated from the Paternity List and will be active against the Seattle Mariners on Friday night, via the team. The 30-year-old is hitting .167 with three RBI and a .519 OPS in 12 games this season. Lukes flashed potential last season when he slashed. 303/.371/.447 with one homer and 10 RBI in 22 games. The five-foot-11-inch, 180-pounder is Varsho's backup in center field, who has yet to play this season. The Cleveland Indians (now Guardians) drafted Luke in the seventh round of the 2015 MLB Draft before trading him to the Tampa Bay Rays in 2016. He then signed a minor league contract with Toronto in 2021 and made his big-league debut in 2023. Advertisement The Blue Jays will host the Mariners (10-9) for three games before going on the road to play the Houston Astros and New York Yankees. After that, they'll host the Boston Red Sox and Guardians.
