Vaughn Grissom - Page 8 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Back atop depth chart Grissom figures to see everyday work at second base down the stretch after Ozzie Albies suffered a broken right pinky finger Saturday against the Phillies.

Impact Albies had just returned from a foot injury, but this latest injury likely ends his season. Grissom has excelled in all five roto categories, hitting .301 with five home runs, five steals, 22 runs and 16 RBI in 32 games.

Will play some outfield Grissom, who is not in Friday's lineup against the Phillies, will see time in the outfield corners, at second base and at designated hitter over the rest of the season, David O'Bri...

Impact Ozzie Albies is making his long-awaited return Friday at second base, so Atlanta will have to get creative with ways of getting Grissom the playing time he deserves. The 21-year-old rookie has played exclusively at the keystone in the majors, but he has the athleticism to be able to handle left field, and he should start at second base on days when Atlanta gives Albies the nod at designated hitter.

Absent from Friday's lineup Grissom isn't starting Friday against Philadelphia.

Impact Grissom served as an everyday player for Atlanta over the last month but will retreat to the bench for the second time in the last three games. The 21-year-old will likely see decreased playing time down the stretch after Ozzie Albies (foot) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Friday.

Pops homer in win Grissom went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Astros.

Impact Grissom responded to just the second hitless game of his career Friday with his sixth multi-hit effort Saturday. He knocked a game-tying solo shot in the fifth inning. The 21-year-old infielder has slashed .385/.442/.667 through 43 plate appearances, adding three homers, eight RBI, 12 runs scored and two stolen bases through 11 games. Grissom will look to hold down a starting role at the keystone at least until Ozzie Albies (foot) returns, which isn't expected to be until mid-September at the earliest. If Grissom stays hot, manager Brian Snitker may have no choice but to find a spot for his bat in the lineup.

Big day at the plate Grissom went 2-for-4 with three RBI, two runs scored and one steal in Wednesday's loss against the Mets.

Impact The 21-year-old continues to produce for Atlanta with two more hits, three RBI and his second steal of the season. He has hit safely in seven out of eight of the games he has played in this year with multi-hit efforts in five of those. The rookie also now has 30 stolen bases across all levels this season. He is looking like a stud for the Braves, and it will be interesting to see how skipper Brian Snitker handles Grissom and infield duties once Ozzie Albies returns.

Austin Riley, Michael Harris II lead Braves' new youth movement

On base three times Monday Grissom went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Monday's 13-1 rout of the Mets.

Impact The rookie hit eighth in the lineup but still carved out his share of the offensive eruption by Atlanta. Grissom, like Michael Harris before him, has provided a jolt of energy to the NL East squad since his promotion, going 9-for-21 (.429) through his first six big-league games with two doubles, two homers, four RBI, eight runs, a steal and a 3:5 BB:K -- not bad for a 21-year-old who had only 22 games of experience above High-A prior to making his MLB debut.

Braves prospect homers over Green Monster in debut: 'We made it'

Stellar debut Grissom went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a steal and an additional run scored in Wednesday's win over the Red Sox.

Impact Grissom was elevated from Double-A Mississippi before the contest and quickly made his presence felt as the first player in franchise history to homer and steal a base in his debut. The rookie took a first-pitch fastball from Red Sox reliever Darwinzon Hernandez deep over the Green Monster in the seventh inning, giving Atlanta a commanding 5-1 lead. He also singled in the ninth and stole second before ultimately scoring on Dansby Swanson's RBI single. With Orlando Arcia (hamstring) expected to be sidelined for 3-to-4 weeks and Ozzie Albies (foot) still out, Grissom should garner plenty of opportunities during the stretch run.

Gets big-league call-up Atlanta selected Grissom's contract from Double-A Mississippi on Wednesday. He'll start at second base and bat ninth in his MLB debut in Atlanta's series finale in Boston.

Impact Grissom's promotion is an unexpectedly aggressive one, as he had appeared in just 22 games at Mississippi since being called up from High-A Rome on July 12. Due to his positional flexibility, Grissom will have ample opportunities to crack the starting lineup, though he will likely be most utilized at the keystone with Orlando Arcia (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list and with Ozzie Albies (foot) on the 60-day IL. Grissom showcased an intriguing blend of power, speed and contact skills between his two minor-league stops this season, slashing .315/.405/.494 with 36 extra-base hits and 27 steals in 442 plate appearances.
