Grossman is not in the lineup Thursday against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman will give way to Chad Pinder in left field Thursday with a left-hander in Tyler Skaggs toeing the rubber for the opposition. Over his last 10 appearances, Grossman is slashing .333/.364/.500 with a homer and four doubles.

Grossman went 4-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Wednesday's 10-9 loss at Angel Stadium.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman had a hot night at the plate, reaching four times with an RBI single, double and another pair of singles. He also made a few big-time catches in the outfield, until the last hit of the game went over his head and turned into a walkoff, ground-rule double for Dustin Garneau. On a positive note, he's 9-for-14 in the last three games, which brings his average up to .249 with 11 doubles, four homers, 26 runs scored and 17 RBI.

Grossman went 2-for-4 with a run in a win over the Angels on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

It's admittedly a modest sample, but Grossman may be finding his groove at the plate after a mostly lackluster season. The switch-hitting veteran has now reached safely in seven of his last eight games while hitting .303 (10-for-33) with two doubles, a home run, two RBI, two walks and six runs during that stretch.

Grossman went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in an extra-innings loss to the Astros on Sunday. He was also caught stealing on his only attempt.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman's 377-foot solo shot to right in the second opened the scoring on the day for the Athletics and served as his first homer since April 30. The 29-year-old outfielder has struggled at the plate overall this season, although he's been a bit more successful of late. Factoring in Sunday's production, Grossman is hitting .276 (8-for-29) over his last seven games, a stretch that includes a pair of multi-hit efforts.

Grossman went 2-for-4 with an RBI double, another two-bagger and a run in a win over the Angels on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman's pair of doubles were his first extra-base hits in his last six games. The outfielder hasn't homered since April 30, and his current .225/.329/.370 line is his worst since a 24-game cup of coffee with the Astros in 2015.

Grossman was added to the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners after Stephen Piscotty was scratched for undisclosed reasons.

EDGE Analysis

Laureano will start against a southpaw (Yusei Kikuchi) for just the third time this season. He'll bat eighth and play left field, with Chad Pinder sliding over to right.

Grossman will sit for the second straight game Saturday against Seattle as the Athletics face another lefty in Yusei Kikuchi.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman has started against a lefty just twice all season. As usual, Chad Pinder will take over in left field in his absence.

Grossman isn't starting Friday night against Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman will take a seat after starting each of the last three games. Chad Pinder draws the nod in left field and is batting second with Grossman out of the lineup.

Grossman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman will take a seat in the series finale while lefty masher Chad Pinder (career 124 wRC+ versus southpaws) enters the lineup in the outfield with lefty Gregory Soto on the hill for Detroit. Though he's riding a four-game hitting streak, Grossman is batting just .226 on the season and doesn't offer much power even when things are going well at the plate.

Grossman was added to the lineup Saturday against the Tigers after Khris Davis was scratched for undisclosed reasons.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman had been expected to sit as usual against lefty Matthew Boyd, but there was a change in plans. He'll bat sixth and play left field.
