Outlook Trent Grisham
Trent Grisham's elite power surge and locked-in role make him a prime draft-day target
Trent Grisham enters his age-29 season securely slotted as the primary everyday center fielder for the Yankees. With several outfield injuries lingering, including Jasson Dominguez, Grisham has virtually no competition for playing time and is primed to hit in the middle of a potent New York lineup. His experience and Gold Glove-caliber defense ensure that even during offensive slumps, his manager will keep him written into the daily lineup card.
Fantasy managers can expect major category contributions in power and runs scored. Following a massive 34-homer campaign last year, our models project Grisham to hit another 14 home runs with 75 walks over 452 at-bats. While his projected .217 batting average remains a drag in standard leagues, his elite eye supports a highly valuable .332 on-base percentage, making him a major asset in OBP and points leagues who will also chip in a handful of stolen bases.
Given his current ADP near pick 228, Grisham represents a superb value play. He is a premier target for managers who prioritized high-average hitters early and can now absorb his low batting average in exchange for elite power, run-scoring upside, and robust walk rates in the double-digit rounds.

Spencer Jones Rakes in Triple-A While Awaiting Next Yankees Opportunity
Spencer Jones was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on May 21 after a brief major league stint where he hit just .167. Meanwhile, the second-place Yankees (36-25) are monitoring injuries to Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, which could soon pave the way for his return. Jones has stayed hot in the minors, recently slugging his 13th home run of the season.
Our models project a modest rest-of-season line for Jones, but his raw power and speed are undeniable. He showcased extreme exit velocities in Triple-A, though his major league trial exposed a 50% strikeout rate (12 strikeouts in 24 at-bats). His elite athletic profile is real, but severe contact issues mean extreme average risk in the near term.
As the Yankees play home series against Cleveland and Boston this week, Jones remains in the minors and cannot help active weekly lineups. However, he remains a high-priority stash candidate in dynasty and deep redraft formats should New York's outfield injuries linger. For this week, he is a mandatory sit.
