9/23/24 Vaughn Grissom's first year with Red Sox was a struggle, but he says that's not all bad. In fact, he was the youngest Red Sox big leaguer this year. After he showed limited offensive impact through August (.234/.341/.317), Grissom hit .340/.508/.553 in 15 September contests while hitting the ball significantly harder than at any previous point in 2024, and chasing pitches with much less frequency. In his late emergence from a yearlong funk, Grissom experienced something he considered meaningful. “I finally got to see the other side,” said Grissom.

9/21/24 In final week of season, Vaughn Grissom getting another chance with Red Sox. Nothing about the 2024 season has gone as planned for Vaughn Grissom. Acquired from the Atlanta Braves last winter in exchange for Chris Sale, Grissom was projected to be the Red Sox' second baseman. When he was finally cleared to play, he underperformed in a big way, slashing .148/.207/.160 in 23 games, after which he suffered yet another groin strain. When he recovered from that, instead of adding him to the active roster, he was optioned to Triple A Worcester. Essentially, the Red Sox wanted him to start from scratch.

9/20/24 Red Sox's Rafael Devers Likely Done For Season With Lingering Injury. The Boston Red Sox stockpiled 20 strikeouts to match an all-time franchise record during Friday night's 4-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins at Fenway Park. Devers started at third base and went 1-for-4 at the plate with two strikeouts before being substituted by fellow infielder Vaughn Grissom in the bottom of the 11th inning. It was clear, both by Devers' swings in the batter's box and throws to first base -- one of which required 6-foot-4 Triston Casas to fully extend to prevent an error -- that Boston's slugger wasn't playing at 100 percent. Devers has been dealing with a lingering right shoulder injury but still hasn't thrown in the towel with the club yet to officially reach elimination from playoff contention in the American League.

9/18/24 Red Sox Can Finally Solve This Hole With Internal Options This Offseason. For the first time in forever, the Red Sox do have internal candidates that could finally lock down that position for the foreseeable future. Kristian Campbell and Vaughn Grissom, both in Triple-A Worcester, likely headline that race to earn the starting job in spring training. Alex Cora and the Red Sox also cycle plenty of depth through the position. Enmanuel Valdez, Mickey Gasper, David Hamilton, Romy Gonzalez are just a few to rotate through this year.

9/12/24 Syracuse Met continues to struggle in 8-1 loss. The Syracuse Mets have run into a buzzsaw so far this week at Polar Park, dropping the first three games of their last road trip of the year to the Triple-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, the Worcester Red Sox. The Mets lost 8-1 on Thursday night and have lost the first three games of the series by a combined score of 23-5. Worcester (74-67, 40-26) picked up right where they left off on Thursday night, playing a run in the first and four more runs in the third to break out to a 5-0 lead after three innings of play. In the first, an RBI single from Vaughn Grissom plated Roman Anthony to make it a 1-0 game.

9/11/24 Syracuse Mets shut out by Worcester in 7-0. The Mets have now lost the first two games of the weeklong, six-game series at the WooSox, the last road trip of the season for Syracuse. The Mets have also lost 32 of their last 44 games. Worcester (74-66, 39-26) scored three runs in the first four innings all because of one man.

9/06/24 Trevor Story's return represents a chance for the Red Sox to find a spark. On Sunday, Story started a rehab assignment with Triple A Worcester. The loss of Story for the last five months, compounded by a lost season for anticipated everyday second baseman Vaughn Grissom, has created considerable defensive instability in the middle infield as well as a shortage of righthanded thump.

9/01/24 Vaughn Grissom Making Red Sox Infield Situation Interesting In Triple-A. The Boston Red Sox have shuffled around their infield depth throughout the 2024 season with the day-to-day lineup seeing multiple changes at first, second base and shortstop, which -- even with 25 games remaining in the regular season -- could still be the case as the team hunts down a playoff spot. Red Sox manager Alex Cora started infielders Romy González and Nick Sogard at second base and shortstop respectively for Sunday afternoon's 4-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers. González and Sogard went a combined 3-for-5 at the plate, finishing responsible for half of Boston's total hits (six) and signaling a further need for an offensive boost. Meanwhile, over 678 miles from Comerica Park, right-handed infielder Vaughn Grissom crushed a three-run home run for the Triple-A Worcester Red Sox at Polar Park.

8/11/24 Alex Cora explains why Red Sox infielder remains in Triple-A after return from IL. The Boston Red Sox have been playing solid baseball this year despite the fact that one of their big offseason acquisitions, infielder Vaughn Grissom, hasn't seen the field much. Due to injuries and illnesses, Grissom has appeared in just 23 games (hitting just .148) for Boston since they traded Chris Sale to the Atlanta Braves for his services. Last week, Grissom was activated from the injured list, but instead of bringing him back up to the major league roster, the Red Sox kept him with Triple-A Worcester.

8/08/24 Red Sox's Vaughn Grissom returns from IL, but there's a catch. The Boston Red Sox are trying to keep their slim postseason hopes alive, as the team is currently third in the AL East. Six games behind the division co-leaders, the Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees, the Red Sox could use a bit more help in their bid to return to the playoffs. “He's moving a lot better than earlier in the season, which is great,” Cora stated Wednesday. Although Grissom is only hitting a little above .200 at Triple-A, he's still likely to be the long-term answer at second base for Boston.
