Randal Grichuk - Page 4 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sitting in third straight game Grichuk is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact After being acquired from the Diamondbacks on July 26, Grichuk initially appeared set to get a look as a full-time player in Kansas City, but he may have fallen back into a short-side platoon role since the Royals traded for the lefty-hitting Mike Yastrzemski on Thursday. The right-handed-hitting Grichuk will be on the bench Monday for a third straight matchup versus a right-handed pitcher (Brayan Bello), as the Royals counter with a left-handed-hitting designated hitter (Adam Frazier) and an all-lefty outfield featuring John Rave, Kyle Isbel and Yastrzemski from left to right.

Longest MLB Home Runs in July: Where Do Ronald Acuña's Blasts Rank?

On bench again versus righty Grichuk is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Grichuk started in four of the Royals' first five games after being acquired from the Diamondbacks last weekend, but he could be at risk of falling into more of a short-side platoon role after Kansas City added left-handed-hitting outfielder Mike Yastrzemski ahead of Thursday's trade deadline. With Yastrzemski in the fold, the right-handed-hitting Grichuk has now sat out two straight matchups with right-handed starting pitchers. At least until Jac Caglianone (hamstring) returns from the injured list, Grichuk may have to vie with left-handed hitters Adam Frazier and John Rave for two spots in the Kansas City lineup against righties.

Sitting Saturday Grichuk isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Grichuk will step out of the lineup Saturday after going 4-for-17 with a home run and three runs scored through his first five games as a Royal. His absence will put Mike Yastrzemski at the DH spot while John Rave starts in right field.

Slugs first bomb with new team Grichuk went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's loss against Atlanta.

Impact The Royals' recent trade pickup launched his first home run with the team Monday, taking Dylan Lee deep in the eighth inning. Grichuk has hit safely in each of his first two games with Kansas City, going 3-for-9 with a solo shot. The veteran doesn't draw many walks, carrying a 5.2 percent walk rate, but offers a boost in power with a .467 slugging percentage over 72 games this season. In the short term, he's filling in as the primary right fielder while rookie Jac Caglianone (hamstring) is out and has the flexibility to play other outfield spots or serve as the designated hitter once Caglianone returns.

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.

Walker's clutch hit in the ninth lifts Astros over Diamondbacks for sweep

JULY 23, 2025 • Associated Press

Three hits in Tuesday's loss Grichuk went 3-for-3 with two doubles and one run scored in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Astros.

Impact Grichuk has logged a pair of three-hit efforts over his last five games. The veteran outfielder has received a steadier run of playing time in this series versus Houston, a team with a left-handed-heavy rotation. Grichuk should be in the lineup again Wednesday versus southpaw Brandon Walter. For the season, Grichuk is now at a .249/.286/.473 slash line with seven home runs, 22 RBI, 25 runs scored and no stolen bases across 182 plate appearances, primarily in a short-side platoon role.
