JULY 27 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM
Moving to American League Arizona traded Grichuk to the Royals on Saturday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Grichuk started in right field for the Diamondbacks against Pittsburgh on Saturday but was pulled after two at-bats and was subsequently seen hugging teammates in the dugout. He posted a modest .742 OPS over 70 contests with the Diamondbacks while collecting seven home runs and 22 RBI. Grichuk has pounded as many as 31 homers in an MLB season and could provide a power boost for the Royals, who rank 29th out of 30 teams with 85 long balls on the campaign. His addition could be especially timely if Jac Caglianone, who exited Saturday's game against Cleveland with a left hamstring injury, needs to miss time.

Carries offense with two homers Grichuk went 3-for-4 with a double, two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Angels.
Impact The veteran outfielder kept Arizona in the game, launching a two-run shot to left field off Tyler Anderson in the second inning before tying things up at 5-5 in the eighth by crushing a Reid Detmers slider over the center-field wall for a solo blast. It was Grichuk's first multi-homer performance since last September, and he's finding his groove heading into the All-Star break -- four of his seven long balls on the season have come in his last 10 games.

Los Angeles Angels and Arizona Diamondbacks meet in game 2 of series
The Los Angeles Angels face the Arizona Diamondbacks, leading the series 1-0JULY 12 • Associated Press
Another start against righty Grichuk was added to Tuesday's staring lineup as the designated hitter after Alex Thomas (knee) was scratched. Grichuk went 0-for-4 in a 1-0 loss to San Diego.
Impact Grichuk, who typically starts against lefties only, made a second start against a right-hander (Nick Pivetta) since Pavin Smith (oblique) landed on the 10-day injured list. The lefty-batting Jake McCarthy was in the original starting lineup as the DH but moved to center field to cover for Thomas. Grichuk could see added opportunities while Smith and Thomas are unavailable.

In lineup against righty Grichuk started at designated hitter and went 1-for-3 with a double in Sunday's 4-0 loss to Kansas City.
Impact Grichuk typically starts against left-handers but was used against a righty (Michael Lorenzen) in the series finale between the two teams. Arizona's usual DH against righties, Pavin Smith, was placed on the 10-day injured list with an oblique injury. Grichuk could get additional opportunities while Smith is unavailable, but manager Torey Lovullo likes to exploit lefty-righty matchups whenever possible. That means one of the three lefty-hitting outfielders could see time at DH against righties.

Enters mid-game, homers Grichuk went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-1 win over Kansas City.
Impact Grichuk entered mid-game, pinch hitting for Pavin Smith when a lefty reliever entered the game, and served as the designated for the remainder of the game. His two-run shot in the eighth inning looked like a standup inside-the-park homer, but a replay confirmed the ball barely cleared the fence and hit a chair in the picnic area in right-center. It was Grichuk's fifth home run in 59 games.
