Randal Grichuk - Page 5 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

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.

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.

Smacks fourth homer Grichuk went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Giants.

Impact Grichuk didn't homer at all in June, going just 9-for-50 (.180) over 17 games. The outfielder ended that power drought with a solo shot to pad the Diamondbacks' lead in the sixth inning of this contest. For the year, he's batting .246 with a .721 OPS, four homers, 16 RBI, 21 runs scored, 11 doubles and one triple across 146 plate appearances. Grichuk has been pressed into some extra playing time recently while Arizona's primary designated hitter, Pavin Smith, has had to cover for Josh Naylor (undisclosed) at first base. Once Naylor is healthy again, Grichuk will likely return to a short-side platoon role, as Jake McCarthy has stepped up in right field in the absence of Corbin Carroll (wrist).

Stepping out of lineup Grichuk is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Grichuk will get a breather for the day game after he had started in each of the last seven games -- five in right field, two at designated hitter -- while going 6-for-25 with two extra-base knocks, one walk, four RBI and five runs. With Corbin Carroll (wrist) on the injured list, Grichuk and the left-handed-hitting Jake McCarthy could end up settling into a platoon in right field, though McCarthy (.246 OPS in 51 plate appearances in the majors this season) may need to raise his performance before he emerges as the preferred option against right-handed pitching.

Makes fifth straight start Grichuk started in right field and went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Colorado.

Impact Grichuk knocked in a run with a sacrifice fly in the second inning and singled in a run two innings later. He's started five consecutive games, which includes three against left-handers and two against righties. Grichuk routinely starts against southpaws, but his presence against right-handers is due to Corbin Carroll's hand injury. Carroll has missed four games due to the injury, and now the Diamondbacks will have him undergo an MRI. Arizona is scheduled to face White Sox right-hander Shane Smith on Monday.

Fills in at right field Grichuk started in right field and went 0-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in Thursday's 9-5 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Grichuk got a rare start against a right-hander while filling in for the injured Corbin Carroll (hand). The Diamondbacks move on to Colorado on Friday, when they will face lefty Austin Gomber, which means Grichuk will likely start regardless of Carroll's status. Grichuk's having a rough June, going 2-for-20 with three walks and one RBI over nine games.

Strong effort in Saturday's loss Grichuk went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 11-7 loss to the Nationals.

Impact Grichuk was in the lineup versus a right-handed pitcher for just the second time this season, getting the start in left field. His homer also came off a righty, as he took reliever Jackson Rutledge deep in the sixth inning. Grichuk is up to three homers this season, two of which have come over his last five games. He's batting .275 with 11 RBI, 13 runs scored, nine doubles and no stolen bases over 86 plate appearances on the year, while mainly working in a short-side platoon between the corner outfield and designated hitter.
