Finally goes yard Grichuk went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Rays.

Impact The Jays have launched 13 homers over their last two games, and Grichuk joined in on the fireworks with his first of the year. The outfielder is hitting .279 (12-for-43) through 12 games, but his power has been lacking -- Friday's homer was actually his first extra-base hit, and he has only two RBI.

Officially returns to lineup Grichuk (back) is starting Tuesday against the Braves, batting sixth.

Impact Grichuk missed the Blue Jays' last four games with a back injury, but the postponement of the team's weekend series against the Phillies gave him extra time to recover. Assuming he doesn't face any setbacks, he should reclaim his role as Toronto's starting center fielder going forward.

Should be ready Tuesday Grichuk (back) is expected to be available for Tuesday's game against the Braves, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact The 28-year-old missed the four-game series against the Nationals this week, but he should be good to go when the Blue Jays next take the field. The weekend series against the Phillies was postponed since the Marlins, their previous opponent, had a COVID-19 outbreak among players and staff. Grichuk is 4-for-10 with a run scored, an RBI and a walk in 11 plate appearances through three games.
