Aaron Boone discusses DFA decision for Randal Grichuk

The New York Yankees designated veteran outfielder Randal Grichuk for assignment after he began to improve at the plate, going 6-for-16 following an 0-for-15 start. Manager Aaron Boone noted the decision was difficult, as Grichuk had fit well with the team despite the slow start. Meanwhile, shortstop Anthony Volpe continued his rehab assignment, and Gerrit Cole made progress in his rehab, striking out three over 5 ⅔ innings. Rookie pitcher Elmer Rodríguez had to change his glove during his MLB debut after an umpire’s request.
