Placed on waivers The Rangers placed Grossman on waivers Thursday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Since being traded from the White Sox to the Rangers in May, Grossman has slashed .235/.336/.353 with three homers and 10 RBI across 119 plate appearances. However, he's failed to receive regular playing time lately and is now available for any team that needs outfield/DH depth for the final month of the season. If the 34-year-old passes through waivers unclaimed, he would keep his spot on the Rangers.

Playing-time outlook worsens Grossman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact Grossman had started in three of the Rangers' last four games and has an active five-game hitting streak going, but his playing time is expected to become more sparse moving forward. Josh Jung (wrist) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Monday, and he and Josh Smith could end up serving as the Rangers' primary options at designated hitter moving forward while the other player makes starts at third base. Grossman remains an option in left field and right field, but Wyatt Langford and Adolis Garcia look to be manager Bruce Bochy's preferred starters at those two respective positions.

Logs two hits as DH Grossman started at designated hitter and went 2-for-4 in Thursday's 2-1 win over the White Sox.
Impact Grossman got the start at DH, which has been a revolving door for the Rangers in 2024. Justin Foscue was given a four-game run after being called up last weekend, but he went 1-for-13 with seven strikeouts and hasn't been seen since Tuesday. It's been Grossman and Travis Jankowski the last two days. Eventually, when third baseman Josh Jung (wrist) is ready to return, Josh Smith would likely settle in as the primary DH.

Slugs homer in blowout win Grossman went 1-for-1 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional RBI in Sunday's 13-2 win over the Rays.
Impact Grossman got into a game for the first time in July with an appearance off the bench in the blowout win. He delivered the Rangers' last two runs with a solo shot in the seventh inning and a bases-loaded walk in the eighth. While Grossman is 9-for-30 (.300) over his last 10 games, it's a span dating back to June 11. He's often been limited to a short-side platoon role despite being a switch hitter, and his extended absence from the lineup can be explained by the Rangers facing a stretch of right-handed starting pitchers over the last six games. The outfielder is slashing just .216/.331/.306 over 160 plate appearances between the Rangers and the White Sox this year. The Rangers are expected to face three more righties during their series against the Angels from Monday to Wednesday, so expect more time on the bench for Grossman.

Taking seat Tuesday Grossman is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.
Impact Grossman had started back-to-back games at DH, but he'll give way to Derek Hill on Tuesday. Grossman is slashing .211/.323/.278 across 158 plate appearances this season.

On bench after four straight starts Grossman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
Impact Though the Rangers have an opening in the lineup at designated hitter while Wyatt Langford (hamstring) is on the shelf, Grossman hasn't yet taken hold of an everyday lineup spot, despite starting in each of the previous four games. Three of those starts came while the Rangers were facing left-handed pitching, and switch-hitting Grossman hasn't helped his case for earning steadier playing time by going 1-for-16 with five walks in seven games since he was acquired from the White Sox earlier this month. The Rangers may prefer to rotate a number of players at DH rather than committing to Grossman as their preferred option.

Two hits, swipes bag Sunday Grossman went 2-for-3 with a double and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Cardinals.
Impact Grossman opened the game with a leadoff double off Matthew Liberatore before ripping a one-out single in the third frame, swiping second base for his second steal of the season. He also added a sacrifice fly off John King in top of the seventh inning, scoring teammate Bryan Ramos for the team's final tally of the game. Grossman has been splitting time with Gavin Sheets in the outfield, starting most often when the team faces a left-hander like Liberatore, but he has now gone 4-for-11 with three doubles, two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base over his last three contests.
