Grissom, who started the season on the injured list, contributed a two-run double to a win in his second game. "It was about time," he said.

Grissom’s first hit as a member of the Red Sox went 367 feet for a two-run opposite-field double, giving the Red Sox a 5-1 lead in the eighth inning.

Red Sox second baseman Vaughn Grissom is trying to regain weight after losing 14 pounds while battling for the flu this past week.

Grissom is just 23 years old and could be the club's starting second baseman for the foreseeable future. He appeared in 64 total games with the Braves over the last two seasons and slashed .287/.339/.407 with five home runs and 27 RBIs while also providing exceptional defense.
