Grossman went 1-for-2 with three walks and two RBI in Wednesday's win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Grossman has long been known for his ability to draw a free pass, as he's had a walk rate of 12 percent or better in four of his past five seasons, and that skill was on display Wednesday. It's not the flashiest trait in fantasy circles, but if the veteran outfielder keeps getting on base at a healthy clip, he should be able to score a decent amount of runs. Grossman and Jonathan Schoop are currently tied for the team lead with 43 runs.

Grossman went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Grossman's fourth inning solo shot was his 11th of the season, which ties his career high set back in 2016 with Minnesota. He needed 99 games to reach the mark that season versus just 82 games this year. Assuming he stays healthy, Grossman figures to set a new career best soon. The veteran outfielder has already set a career high with 10 stolen bases this season, as he's been quietly productive for the Tigers.

Grossman went 2-for-3 with a pair of walks and a stolen base in Friday's 8-2 loss to the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Grossman enjoyed his first multi-hit effort since June 15 -- in the 13 games in between, he went just 5-for-50 with a home run, four RBI and five runs scored. The outfielder is up to 10-for-12 in stolen base attempts. He's slashed .226/.341/.385 with 10 home runs, 36 RBI and 40 runs scored across 347 plate appearances as an everyday option in the corner outfield spots.

Grossman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 13-5 loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Grossman has been slumping lately with a .193/.273/.330 slash line in 22 June games before Monday's contest, though he does now have four home runs this month to give him 10 for the season. It's the first time he's reached double figures in long balls since he hit 11 with Minnesota back in 2016, and that figure also represents his career high, so Grossman stands a good chance of beating that mark this year.

Grossman (illness) will start in left field and bat third Thursday against the Astros, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grossman will check back into the starting nine after a non-COVID-19-related ailment kept him on the bench for Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Cardinals. He's only been out of the lineup for two games thus far in June and is slashing .211/.282/.355 with three home runs, 11 runs, 10 RBI and no stolen bases in 18 games this month.

Updating a previous report, Grossman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals due to a non-COVID-19-related illness, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grossman's absence from the starting nine was initially believed to be for maintenance purposes with the Tigers playing a day game after a night game, but he's instead sitting as a result of flu-like symptoms. Akil Baddoo will fill in in left field Wednesday in place of Grossman, who will hope to recover in time to rejoin the lineup for Thursday's series opener versus Houston.

Grossman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Manager A.J. Hinch viewed the day game after a night game as a good opportunity to build in a rest day for Grossman, who had started in every contest dating back to June 8. He's endured a rough spell at the dish of late, going 3-for-28 while drawing only two walks across his last six games, dropping his season-long on-base average from .359 to .341. Akil Baddoo will fill in for Grossman in left field and as the Tigers' leadoff man.
