The Boston Red Sox have optioned infielder Vaughn Grissom and pitchers Luis Guerrero and Josh Winckowski to their minor league camp. Grissom, who was vying for the second base position, had a subpar season with a .190 batting average and struggled in spring training with just .176. With Rafael Devers likely moving to designated hitter and Alex Bregman taking over third base, Grissom will begin the season back at Triple-A Worcester, where he previously showcased potential with a .307 average over his last two seasons.
Grissom had a rough year with the Sox, managing a .190/.246/.219 slash in 114 MLB plate appearances, leading to his option to minor-league camp.
Boston's decision not to assign Rafael Devers any third base reps suggests the Sox are committed to Alex Bregman at third, despite Grissom's expectations.
Despite a healthy offseason, Grissom struggled during spring training, hitting only .176 in 14 games, resulting in him being reassigned to Triple-A.
Grissom's promising offensive potential in the minors is overshadowed by his current struggles, as he faces increased competition from Hamilton, Campbell, and Mayer.
