Productive in Friday's win Grisham went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional RBI, one stolen base and two total runs scored in Friday's 11-2 win over the Astros.

Impact Grisham got things done in a variety of ways in the blowout victory. He's collected three multi-hit efforts over his first six games in September after ending August in an 0-for-26 slump. The outfielder is up to a .205/.315/.364 slash line with 13 homers, 14 steals, 46 RBI and 60 runs scored through 136 contests. He remains a regular in the lineup, though he's hit at the bottom of the order for a majority of the season.

Notches 13th steal in two-hit game Grisham went 2-for-4 with a run, an RBI and a stolen base against the Phillies in Monday's loss.

Impact Grisham just finished a rough August during which he slashed .156/.270/.208 with a 36.3 percent strikeout rate over 27 contests. September has started a bit more kindly for him, as he's notched two multi-hit performances thus far while going 4-for-10 through three games. Grisham's defense and power/speed potential have helped keep him in a near-everyday role in center field for the Padres, though his .203/.314/.356 slash line and 29.3 percent strikeout rate on the campaign are hardly the stuff of fantasy greatness.

Cranks homer in win Grisham went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Orioles.

Impact Grisham got a day off Tuesday to reset amid a 1-for-20 slump over his last six games, and it appears to have done him some good. The outfielder went deep in the seventh inning Wednesday to pad the Padres' lead to 4-2.

Impact Grisham's ninth-inning blast forced extra innings, but the Rockies walked it off in the 10th. The outfielder has faded late in July, going 4-for-34 over his last 11 contests. He's now at a .208/.320/.389 slash line with 11 home runs, 11 stolen bases, 33 RBI and 48 runs scored through 103 games this season. Despite the lackluster hitting, he remains a near-everyday player in center field.

Swipes 11th bag Grisham went 1-for-3 with a run and a stolen base in a 5-3 win against the Rangers on Sunday.

Impact Grisham helped generate a key insurance run in the eighth inning, lacing a leadoff single, swiping second base and coming around to score on a Fernando Tatis Jr. single. It was a much-needed positive performance for Grisham, as he came into the contest having gone 1-for-26 over his previous eight games. The centerfielder came out of the All-Star break swinging a hot bat but has regressed since, lowering his season batting average back down to a paltry .207, albeit with a strong 13.4 percent walk rate.

Plates four runs during twin bill Grisham went 2-for-7 with a home run, a walk and four RBI across both games of Saturday's doubleheader versus Philadelphia.

Impact Grisham has been picking up his production of late, and he continued that surge with a three-run homer in his opening plate appearance of the twin bill. The outfielder added an RBI single in Game 2 to extend his modest hitting streak to six games. During that stretch, Grisham is slashing .350/.435/.650 with Saturday's homer, three doubles, seven RBI and one steal.

Reaches three times Friday Grisham went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk, two runs and a stolen base against the Phillies in an 8-3 win Friday.

Impact Grisham was very productive out of the No. 9 spot in the lineup, reaching base three times and twice scoring on a teammate's home run. After a slow start to the campaign, Grisham has come alive at the plate over the past three-plus weeks, slashing .295/.403/.508 with two homers, five doubles,, eight RBI, 12 runs and four steals over his past 19 games. He's still striking out at a troublesome 27.4 percent clip over that span, though.

Perking up at plate Grisham went 1-for-3 with a triple, a walk, an RBI, a stolen base and three runs scored in Saturday's 12-5 win against the Reds.

Impact Grisham has largely struggled this season, but he's been hot of late, putting together a five-game hitting streak during which he's tallied a double, a triple, two homers, a stolen base, four RBI and five runs. The center fielder spent some time early in the season hitting atop the order, but he's batted in the No. 8 or No. 9 slot in all 22 games he's played in since June 7. Despite the recent strong stretch, Grisham's season slash line still sits at a disappointing .212/.321/.388, and he's added eight homers, 23 RBI, 35 runs and eight thefts over 297 plate appearances.

Nabs another steal Grisham went 0-for-1 with a walk, a run and a stolen base Sunday in a loss to the Nationals.

Impact Grisham scored San Diego's first run in the fifth inning, reaching first base on a fielder's choice, stealing second and crossing the plate on a Fernando Tatis single. However, Grisham was removed for pinch hitter Gary Sanchez in the bottom of the sixth with two outs and the bases loaded. Washington had brought in southpaw Joe La Sora for that critical moment, and manager Bob Melvin preferred the strikeout-prone Sanchez (who, indeed, struck out) to the lefty Grisham. That was a curious decision given that Grisham has hit lefties well this season, batting .286 with as many homers (three) in 63 at-bats as he has against right-handers in 174 at-bats.
