The New York Yankees activated Trent Grisham off the paternity list Thursday.

The move comes one day after infielder Jorbit Vivas was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

The Yankees were off Thursday in advance of a three-game home series that starts Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Grisham, 28, has started 13 of the 20 games he has played this season in center field, batting .320 with six home runs and 13 RBIs.

In seven major league seasons, he is batting .216 with 76 home runs and 259 RBIs in 643 games with the Milwaukee Brewers (2019), San Diego Padres (2020-23) and Yankees.

Grisham won a Gold Glove Award with the Padres in 2020 and 2022.

Vivas, 24, did not get into a game after he was called up Monday to replace Grisham on the roster. He is batting .342 with two home runs and 14 RBIs in 20 games with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season.
