New Boston second baseman Vaughn Grissom, a former top prospect for Atlanta, is set to make his debut in a Red Sox uniform once he recovers from a groin injury. Manager Alex Cora has confirmed that Grissom will likely miss all of spring training and will start the 2024 season on the injured list.
The 23-year-old infielder, known for his strong bat, will require time in extended spring training to catch up on missed playing time before he can participate in official games. In the meantime, rookie Emmanuel Valdez filled in at second base during an exhibition game against the Atlanta Braves.
