Randal Grichuk News
Colorado Rockies outfielder Randal Grichuk is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of the team's doubleheader against the New York Mets on Saturday. Kris Bryant (back) will be returning from the injured list for the game and he will be starting in the outfield alongside Connor Joe and Yonathan Daza. Grichuk has compiled five home runs, 21 RBI and 14 runs over 28 games this year while slashing .275/.322/.440. He's been plagued by a 61% ground ball rate so far this season, way up from his career 39.3% ground ball rate. Once he starts getting under the ball more consistently again, we should see an uptick in home runs, especially with Coors Field supporting him for the first time in his career.
Colorado Rockies outfielder Randal Grichuk (illness) will return to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals. The 30-year-old has missed each of the last two games due to a non-COVID related illness. He'll bat fifth and play right field versus righty Zack Greinke on Friday. Grichuk is hitting .281/.323/.449 with four home runs, 16 RBI this season. Fantasy managers should make sure he's back in their lineups for this game.
Colorado Rockies outfielder Randal Grichuk (stomach) has sat out the last two games with a stomach bug but is expected to return against the San Francisco Giants on Friday. He's missed three of the team's previous four games; two absences were due to a stomach issue. The 30-year-old is slashing .281/.323/.449 with four home runs, 16 RBI, 12 runs, and a stolen base over 96 plate appearances in 2022. Grichuk's stomach issue isn't considered severe, and the Rockies outfielder should be back in the lineup on Friday.

Randal Grichuk enjoyed a career year for the Blue Jays in 2020, slashing .273/.312/.481 with 12 homers over 231 PAs. Sadly, his peripherals don't suggest that anything has changed. His batting average spike was largely the result of an improved 21.2 K% more than six points better than his career mark of 27.7%. His SwStr% improved (11.2 vs. 14% career), but nearly all of it was because of a career-best 70.2 O-Contact%. When it came to pitches in the strike zone, Grichuk's performance was in line with his career norms (84.3 Z-Contact% vs. 83.3 career). Worse, his newfound ability to make contact with bad pitches led to a career-worst chase rate of 37.3%. His FB% also fell from 42.1% in 2019 to 36.7% last year, a problem considering that fantasy managers want guys like this to hit as many flies as possible. Grichuk can work as a one-dimensional power guy in fantasy, as last season's 11.2% rate of Brls/BBE and 95.9 mph average airborne exit velocity can attest. However, he'll strike out too often and hurt your batting average. Toronto is also projected to have the 29-year-old hit seventh, a role that won't produce too many counting stats. The profile works at his ADP of 188 as long as you're realistic about what you're adding to your roster.
