Robbie Grossman Finds Groove at Plate Robbie Grossman’s batting average dipped below .200 just a week ago and now he’s on a five-game hitting streak.

APRIL 24, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Extends streak Grossman went 1-for-2 with two walks, a home run and four RBI in Sunday's 5-2 win over Oakland.

Impact Grossman's three-run home run in the second inning extended his hitting streak to five games and was all Texas pitching would need. He later added a run with a sacrifice fly. He entered the game with just one RBI over the last 14 games.

Day off Saturday Grossman will sit Saturday against the Athletics.

Impact Grossman finds himself on the bench for the second time in three games. His .551 OPS on the season is poor, but he's gone 5-for-14 over his last four games. Travis Jankowski will be the left fielder Saturday, with Brad Miller serving as the designated hitter.

Raps two hits in loss Grossman went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 5-4 loss to Oakland.

Impact Grossman was moved up to second in the order, the highest spot occupied thus far in 2023, and hit safely for a fourth straight game. Slated to be the primary left fielder coming out of camp, Grossman endured an 0-for-22 stretch that knocked him from a near-everyday role. He's among a group of players that includes Brad Miller, Travis Jankowski and Bubba Thompson sharing left field and DH.

Moves up to two hole Grossman is in the designated hitter spot and batting second for the Rangers on Friday versus the Athletics.

Impact Grossman previously hasn't batted any higher than fifth. He's sporting just a .515 OPS on the season but does have a modest three-game hitting streak going.

Sitting Wednesday Grossman will sit Wednesday against the Royals.

Impact Grossman will get a breather after he went 3-for-10 with a walk, an RBI and four runs scored over the last three contests. Ezequiel Duran will replace him at designated hitter and bat seventh in the series finale with Kansas City.

Semien's grand slam caps 6-run 7th, Rangers beat Astros 9-1

Marcus Semien hit a grand slam to cap a six-run seventh inning as the Texas Rangers beat the Astros 9-1 on Sunday night for their first series win at Houston in nearly five years

Out of lineup Friday Grossman isn't in the Rangers' lineup for Friday's game against Houston.

Impact Currently in the middle of an 0-for-16 streak at the plate, Grossman will get the day off Friday. Brad Miller will instead serve as Texas' designated hitter and bat seventh.

APRIL 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to DH, still slumps Grossman served as the designated hitter and went 0-for-3 with a run scored in Monday's 11-2 win over Kansas City.

Impact Grossman, who was given a day off Sunday amid a slump, continued to slide Monday. The outfielder has one hit over his last 22 at-bats and is in danger of losing a regular role for a couple of reasons. First, Leody Taveras (oblique) began a rehab assignment and could rejoin the club this week. Second, Bubba Thompson and Travis Jankowski, batting eighth and ninth, have sparked the Rangers offense the last two games. The spring plans to have Grossman be the primary left fielder (when Taveras is healthy) could be pared back to a job share.

APRIL 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Homers from left side Grossman started in right field went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Thursday's 11-7 win over Philadelphia.

Impact Grossman's three-run shot was part of the Rangers' nine-run fourth inning and tied the game after Texas had fallen behind 5-0. The switch-hitting Grossman launched it from the left side, which is supposed to be his weaker side. He's expected to serve as the team's primary left fielder -- he moved there later in the game -- but center fielder Leody Taveras' oblique injury may upset lineup plans early on. Adolis Garcia started in center while Josh Smith manned left field.

Works to adjust mechanics Grossman worked on his swing from the left side of the plate during the offseason, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact The switch-hitting Grossman's history suggested he was an ideal candidate to platoon in left field. That history was reinforced last season when he hit .320/.436/.443 against left-handed pitching and .163/.253/.256 against righties. He understood a change was needed if he wanted to play every day and worked with hitting coach Tim Hyers to minimize an exaggerated leg kick against right-handers. In the minimal sample size that is spring training, Grossman is 8-for-26 (.308) with a .900 OPS against the righties -- he's even better against lefties. That work has earned him the everyday job in left field.

Will be primary LF to open year Rangers manager Bruce Bochy confirmed that Grossman will be the primary left fielder to open the season for the Rangers, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact It's not a huge surprise, but it's worth noting. Grossman was signed to a one-year deal in the offseason, and the switch-hitting outfielder has been excellent in the Cactus League with a 1.167 OPS and two homers over his first 38 plate appearances. With Grossman the everyday option in left, Brad Miller will likely rotate at designated hitter with Jonah Heim and Mitch Garver while also occasionally spelling Grossman in left.

Robbie Grossman to Start in Left? The Texas Rangers seem to be giving Robbie Grossman the playing time he needs to lock down an outfield spot.

Goes deep in spring opener Grossman went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run during Friday's spring game against the Royals.

Impact Grossman took Kansas City starter Daniel Lynch deep on a ball up in the zone. With a lefty throwing for the Royals, the switch-hitting Grossman got the start in left field. He mashed southpaws in 2022 (.320/.436/.443) but was less productive against righties. As such, Grossman's in a position for a possible platoon in left field. Texas manager Bruce Bochy noted earlier this spring that he's open to a platoon in left, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
