    • On track for season debut Friday
      Grissom (hamstring/illness) is feeling much better and will travel with the Red Sox to Minnesota for their weekend series against the Twins, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

      Advice: Grissom has had his season debut delayed after he came down with an illness earlier this week. However, it sounds like he's feeling back or close to 100 percent and is in line to make his Red Sox and season debut Friday. Grissom -- who was acquired from Atlanta over the offseason in the Chris Sale trade -- is set to take over as Boston's primary second baseman. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:23 am
       
    • Retreats to bench
      Swanson is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

      Advice: Swanson will get a chance to rest up for the day game after a night game, with Nico Hoerner moving over from second base to replace him at shortstop. The off day comes while Swanson has gone 3-for-17 with eight strikeouts against one walk over his last five games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:57 am
       
    • Aiming to be available Friday
      Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that he's hopeful that Grissom (hamstring/illness) will be ready to return from the 10-day injured list for Friday's game in Minnesota, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

      Advice: Grissom had been slated for his season and Red Sox debut Tuesday after overcoming a hamstring injury, but he's been delayed due to an illness. Once activated, Grissom is likely to serve as the Red Sox's everyday second baseman. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:32 pm
       
    • Vaughn Grissom set to join Red Sox on Friday
      Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters on Wednesday that Vaughn Grissom is expected to be activated from the injured list on Friday.

      Advice: The 23-year-old infielder should make his highly-anticipated Red Sox’ debut on Friday evening against the Twins in Minnesota. Grissom has played in nine games during his minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Worcester, hitting .333/.444/.400 with two RBI, two stolen bases and a 9/5 K/BB ratio over 36 plate appearances.

    • Vaughn Grissom not returning Tuesday due to illness
      Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) will not be activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday due to illness.

      Advice: Grissom was slated to make his Red Sox debut during Tuesday’s series opener against the Giants, but apparently is feeling under the weather. He should be ready to return at some point later this week. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:25 pm
       
    • Dealing with illness
      Grissom (hamstring/illness) won't be activated from the injured list Tuesday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

      Advice: Grissom was expected to make his MLB debut Tuesday after battling a right hamstring injury throughout the early portion of the season. However, it's an illness keeping him from being activated from the 10-day IL, meaning that the second baseman should be considered essentially day-to-day moving forward.

    • Belts homer in win
      De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Monday in a 5-2 victory against the Padres.

      Advice: De La Cruz set the Reds on a positive path with his massive 443-foot solo shot to center field in the first inning. The long ball snapped a four game-stretch during which the dynamic young shortstop didn't knock any extra-base hits and went just 1-for-13 at the plate, though he did maintain valuable production with three thefts during that span. De La Cruz has been one of baseball's most impressive performers early in the campaign, slashing .280/.390/.590 with eight home runs, 19 RBI, 26 runs and a league-leading 18 stolen bases through 118 plate appearances.

While with the WooSox, Grissom went 10-for-30 with five walks, two steals and three runs scored.
