Ryan McMahon and Trent Grisham deliver clutch hits for Yankees in 4-1 win over slumping Mariners

Aaron Boone is testing lineup options as the Yankees seek steadier offense, with Grisham and Paul Goldschmidt handling leadoff duties against different pitchers.

  • The Yankees' offensive struggles have forced manager Aaron Boone to search for a viable leadoff hitter, with Grisham currently occupying the spot despite production among the lowest in the majors.
  • Since Aaron Judge went on the shelf in early June, offensive output has plummeted, with the absence of Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton further compounding the team's inability to maintain a competent lineup.
  • Grisham currently trails the league with an 81 wRC+ and a.294 on-base percentage, while Rice has batted.214 with 15 home runs over a 59-game stretch since June.
  • Experimenting with the lineup, Boone recently bumped George Lombard to the sixth spot, though he remains cautious about rushing the young prospect into a full-time leadoff role.
  • Boone emphasized that the lineup functions best as a complete unit, noting the Yankees must execute at a higher level with their current roster to remain competitive.
