Texas Rangers outfielder Robbie Grossman will be in the lineup for Game 6 of the ALCS against left-hander Framber Valdez. He will be the three-hitter for Texas. The switched hitter has been much better against lefties this season, as he has a .309/.416/.536 slash line against southpaws. Grossman was 0-for-2 in Game 2 of the series, which has been his only start of the ALCS so far. Valdez also started that game and Grossman was in the three hole then as well. Evan Carter will retreat to the bench with Valdez on the mound, but could get some play later in the game if the Rangers are able to chase the starter.
Texas Rangers outfielder Robbie Grossman, not rookie Evan Carter, will make the start in left field and will bat third for Game 2 of the American League Championship Series on Monday against Houston Astros left-hander Framber Valdez. Carter, who hasn't looked like a rookie at all in the playoffs by going 7-for-18 (.389) with a homer, four doubles, three RBI, a stolen base and four runs in six games, will take a seat with the Rangers facing a southpaw for the first time this postseason. The 34-year-old Grossman will instead get the nod after going 2-for-14 with a double in three games so far this postseason. The veteran switch-hitter has gone just 3-for-17 with a double, an RBI, two walks and two strikeouts in his career against Valdez.
Texas Rangers outfielder Robbie Grossman will remain on the bench for Tuesday's Game 3 against the Baltimore Orioles. This move makes sense considering Grossman is 2-for-14 with eight strikeouts so far during the postseason. In his absence, Mitch Garver will serve as the designated hitter and bat third versus right-hander Dean Kremer. Garver went 2-for-6 with a grand slam and five RBI during Sunday's victory. It makes sense that the Rangers would continue to ride the hot hand in Garver during this contest.

Positioned at the top of the Detroit Tigers batting order, outfielder Robbie Grossman enjoyed a highly productive breakout year in his first season in the Motor City. Grossman logged 671 plate appearances for A.J. Hinch's team, hitting .239 with a .357 on-base percentage, 23 home runs, and 20 stolen bases. He was more valuable in leagues where on-base percentage was part of the scoring, but it was a quality fantasy season nonetheless. Only nine other players collected at least 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases. Grossman should continue to be productive next season for the Tigers thanks to his on-base skills, over-the-fence power, and stolen base potential. Another 20-20 season certainly isn't out of reach, and he could eclipse his 88 runs scored from last season by a considerable margin with Javier Baez hitting behind him. Eventual Major League debuts by Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene should only help add to Grossman's fantasy value as a table-setter near the top of the Tigers' lineup. The outfielder's ADP per NFBC is 172 at the moment. If you can draft him somewhere in that range between now and Opening Day you'll be well on your way to building a successful fantasy roster.
