Around the Empire: Yankees news - 5/1/25
Briefly

The article discusses two major topics in sports news. First, the positive development of Trent Grisham, who was included in the trade that brought Juan Soto to the Yankees. Grisham's recent performance shows a decrease in ground balls, an increase in fly balls, and better connections with favorable launch angles. In a separate story, Yankees legend Mariano Rivera and his wife Clara face a civil lawsuit related to alleged sexual abuse incidents linked to their church. Meanwhile, Jazz Chisholm Jr. is under evaluation for a right side injury after leaving a game abruptly, with concerns regarding his health.
One of those was a fellow named Trent Grisham. Included in the deal as a way for San Diego to offload salary, Grisham played sporadically last season. But this year, he's been on fire.
Yankee legend Mariano Rivera and his wife Clara have officially been named as defendants in a civil suit connected to the alleged sexual abuse of a girl in incidents connected to the Riveras' church in Westchester County.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. left Tuesday night's game in the first inning after hitting a double down the right field line. After the previous pitch, he looked like he was in some discomfort in his right side.
The initial announcement was a right 'flank' injury, which prompted some steak discourse in the booth. Chisholm, for his part, is unconcerned.
