Yankees to Add OF Randal Grichuk to Opening Day Roster
Grichuk secured the Yankees’ fourth outfield spot for left-handed pitching with a 12-year MLB career, despite a down 2025 season, team officials said.
- On Saturday, Manager Aaron Boone confirmed that veteran Randal Grichuk made the New York Yankees roster for the season opener. The decision solidifies the team's bench composition heading into the start of play.
- Seeking a proven track record against left-handed pitching, the Yankees prioritized adding Grichuk, who brings 12 years of major league experience to fill the fourth outfielder spot. The club needed specific utility for its bench composition.
- During the 2025 season, Grichuk appeared in 113 games for the Arizona Diamondbacks and Kansas City Royals. In spring training, he went 2-for-14 with a double and four strikeouts across seven games.
- Consequently, the organization optioned utilityman Oswaldo Cabrera to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Additionally, the Yankees reassigned infielder Paul DeJong and utilityman Seth Brown to minor league camp.
- These moves follow Friday's decision that the Yankees optioned prospect Jasson Dom to Triple-A rather than keeping him on the major league bench. The roster finalization reflects the team's ongoing preparation as the season begins.
