Trent Grisham’s hot bat forcing Yankees lineup creativity
NY Post
DETROIT — Cody Bellinger was healthy again and a right-hander was on the mound for the Tigers.
Still, Trent Grisham found his way back into the lineup.
Grisham, one of the hottest Yankees hitters early in the season, started his fifth straight game Monday, this one over Jasson Domínguez in a 6-2 loss to the Tigers at a chilly Comerica Park.
Manager Aaron Boone acknowledged before the game that Grisham was “definitely” forcing him to find a way to keep him in the lineup.
That was rewarded again Monday as the center fielder went 1-for-4 (lowering his average to .423) and scored a run on a day when the Yankees lineup did not do much.
And with Tigers lefty Tarik Skubal set to take the mound Tuesday, Grisham, the left-handed hitter who has reverse splits, figures to be back in the lineup again
