Grossman went 1-for-3 with an RBI single and two stolen bases in a loss to the Angels on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman was a one-man wrecking crew for the Athletics on Saturday, with the only asterisk the fact his exploits came on a day when the team scored all of one run. The veteran's opposite-field single in the seventh brought home Stephen Piscotty, with Grossman logging his second steal of the day following the hit. The 30-year-old is slated to again enjoy relatively steady playing time that nevertheless falls short of an everyday role in the abbreviated 2020 campaign, and he'll look to improve on last season's .240/.334/.348 line that featured his lowest figures across the board since 2015.

Grossman hit .304 (7-for-23) with a double, a home run, five RBI, six walks and eight runs across 12 Cactus League games before spring training was suspended.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder projects for a similar platoon role to the one he filled in 2019 during the coming season. However, considering the high likelihood of a shortened 2020 campaign, it remains to seen if he'll appear in as much as 85 percent of the Athletics' regular-season contests for a second consecutive year. Grossman would have likely been set for steady playing time had Opening Day unfolded as scheduled March 26 with Stephen Piscotty still dealing with an oblique injury at the time, but Brodie Brazil of NBC Sports Bay Area reports the latter is no longer feeling pain and feels he'll be fully healthy when the season does begin.

Grossman, who went 2-for-3 with a run in a Cactus League loss to the Royals on Tuesday, is hitting .304 across 12 spring games.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder will play on a one-year, $3.7 million deal in 2020 after avoiding arbitration, and he appears to be laying the foundation for offering the Athletics a good return on that salary this season. Grossman has a double, a home run, five RBI, six walks and eight runs across his 29 spring plate appearances, and he'll be looking to improve on 2019's pedestrian .240/.334/.348 line this coming season while once again providing outfield depth.

Grossman agreed to a one-year, $3.725 million deal with the A's on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

This was Grossman's third and final year as an arbitration-eligible player. He will enter the year providing outfield depth and would likely need an injury to someone ahead of him on the depth chart to get regular playing time.

Grossman is in the starting lineup for the American League Wild Card Game against the Rays on Wednesday, batting eighth.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman returns to the starting nine after missing time at the end of the regular season with a sore shoulder. The 30-year-old struggled at the plate in September, recording a .149/.216/.234 slash line with six runs and four RBI in 22 games.

Grossman has been dealing with a sore shoulder in recent games, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman has been out of the lineup the last two days, and with the Athletics having clinched home-field advantage for Wednesday's American League Wild Card Game with their win Saturday, he's also sitting out Sunday's regular-season finale. The veteran outfielder has endured a difficult September at the plate (.136 average), and this latest report may help at least partly explain his struggles.

Grossman, who went 1-for-4 with a double and a run in a loss to the Rangers on Sunday, is hitting just .154 (6-for-39) with three extra-base hits and four RBI in September.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder also has four walks and six runs over that span, but it's been a month of meager fantasy production for Grossman overall. The 30-year-old has also failed to leave the yard in 31 games, a dubious streak that's capped his overall upside at a critical time of season.

Grossman went 3-for-6 with a pair of runs and a pair of RBI in Tuesday's blowout win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman was one of three teammates to record at least three hits in the 21-7 victory. The night was a significant improvement over what Grossman had done over the previous 11 games, where he'd hit just .161/.235/.226.

Grossman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman has turned in an ugly .182/.280/.598 slash line versus left-handed pitching this season, so it's not too surprising that he'll head to the bench with southpaw Daniel Norris serving as Detroit's opening pitcher. Jurickson Profar will replace Grossman in left field.

Grossman is not in the lineup Thursday against the Angels

EDGE Analysis

Grossman will stick on the bench for a second straight game with another left-hander in Jose Suarez set to serve as the primary pitcher for the Angels. In his place, Chad Pinder is starting in right field and hitting seventh.
