Scores twice in rout Grichuk went 1-for-4 with a walk, two runs and an RBI in Wednesday's 14-1 win over the Yankees.
Impact The Blue Jays' cleanup man turned in one of the more muted box-score lines of the night, as No. 9 hitter Danny Jansen (4-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI) was the star for Toronto. Still, Grichuk should continue to benefit from playing regularly in the heart of a Blue Jays lineup that is beginning to hit its stride as the postseason approaches. Grichuk is slashing only .217/.258/.289 in September, but he hasn't been a total zero for fantasy managers this month with 12 runs, seven RBI and a stolen base in 22 games.

Blasts 10th long ball Grichuk went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI single in Monday's 11-5 win over the Yankees.
Impact Grichuk's single in the third inning drove in Bo Bichette to extend Toronto's lead to 3-1. The center fielder later took Nick Nelson deep for his 10th homer of the season. The 29-year-old has 30 RBI and 31 runs scored while hitting .263/.303/.464 on the campaign.

Three hits in Friday's twin bill Grichuk went 3-for-7 with two doubles, two runs scored and two RBI across both games of Friday's doubleheader against the Red Sox.
Impact The teams split the twin bill, but Grichuk was productive in both ends of it. The performance snapped an 0-for-16 skid, but on the season the 29-year-old is still slashing a solid .277/.320/.533 with nine homers and 26 RBI through 34 games.
