EDGE Analysis
Grossman left Thursday's game with a bruised elbow after being hit by a pitch. He didn't receive a plate appearance Friday, though he did get into the game as a pinch runner. He'll be involved from the start this time around and will look to build on his .932 OPS thus far in the second half.

Grossman (elbow) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Cleveland, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grossman left Thursday's game after getting hit in his elbow by a pitch. The injury is evidently bad enough to cost him at least one start, though whether or not it will lead to an extended absence is not yet clear. Akil Baddoo and Victor Reyes will start in the outfield corners Friday.

Grossman was removed from Thursday's game against Boston with a left elbow contusion.
EDGE Analysis
An update on the outfielder, who was hit by a pitch in the second inning, should become available following Thursday's contest, if not sooner. Akil Baddoo entered the game to play left field.

Grossman went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Miguel Cabrera grabbed headlines with his 498th career home run in this one, but Grossman provided a nice offensive boost as well in the 4-2 victory. The veteran outfielder is only batting .232, but an ability to draw walks has boosted his on-base percentage to a solid .358. He's also chipped in a career-high 16 home runs and 12 stolen bases, giving him some fantasy appeal in his age-31 season.

Grossman will be on the bench Monday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Grossman will sit after starting 13 straight games, a stretch in which he posted an .812 OPS. This appears to be nothing other than a routine rest for the veteran. Akil Baddoo and Victor Reyes will be the corner outfielders in his absence.

Grossman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Grossman went deep for the second straight game and now has 15 long balls this season. Coming into the year, the veteran outfielder's career best was the 11 home runs he hit for the Twins in 2016. Grossman's .229 batting average won't wow fantasy managers, but the homers as well as his career-high 11 stolen bases have helped boost his value.

Grossman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Grossman homered off Dane Dunning before the All-Star break, and Grossman homered off Dunning yet again in their first meeting after the mid-season pause. After a lengthy rain delay, Grossman brought the thunder in the first inning with a solo shot. While his average still sits at .229, the switch-hitter has hit safely in all but four of the 14 games he's played in July.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman (finger) will bat third and play left field Friday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Grossman missed Thursday's game with a jammed finger, but the issue evidently wasn't a serious one. He recorded a hit in three straight games prior to the injury, a positive sign after he grabbed just five hits in his previous 14 games.

Grossman isn't in the lineup Thursday against the Twins due to a jammed finger, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grossman's finger is swollen after he jammed it in Wednesday's series finale against Texas, so he'll be held out of the lineup as a result. It's not yet clear whether he could be available off the bench, but the left fielder should be considered day-to-day for now.
