Grossman is out of the lineup Sunday against the Royals, LaVelle Neal of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

With a 13:15 K:BB ratio over 75 plate appearances this season, Grossman has maintained an exceptional eye at the plate, but his batting average has caved a bit after a hot start to the season. He's gone just 4-for-24 (.167 average) over his last seven starts, prompting manager Paul Molitor to give him the day off Sunday in favor of Kennys Vargas, who will play DH and bat fifth in the order.
