Grossman is not in the lineup Friday against the White Sox, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman has settled into a regular role in the Twins' outfield with Byron Buxton (toe) on the disabled list, but he hasn't produced much with the extra at-bats. He's hitting just .185 on the season and is hitless in his past three starts. Grossman will head to the bench for night off, allowing Ryan LaMarre to pick up a start in center field Friday night.

Grossman went 3-for-4 with a walk and a double in Friday's loss to the Reds. He's reached base in seven of his last nine plate appearances.

EDGE Analysis

After a 4-for-37 start to the season at the plate, Grossman has finally heated up the past two games going 6-for-8 with a walk. Grossman should continue to see time in the lineup while Byron Buxton (toe) remains on the disabled list, either at DH, right field or left field.

Grossman went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Thursday's loss to the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman collected three of the team's eight hits, and he provided his first round-tripper of the year in the third inning off of Domingo German. The 28-year-old should continue to see time in the lineup while Byron Buxton (toe) remains on the disabled list, but Grossman doesn't seem to be entrenched in any permanent role at the moment, as he's rotated between left field, right field and the DH spot over his past five appearances.

Grossman went 2-for-4 with a double in Saturday's 10-1 loss to the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

With Byron Buxton (migraines) on the disabled list and Logan Morrison in a deep slump to begin the year, playing time has begun to open up for Grossman despite his own struggles at the plate, and he responded Saturday with his first multi-hit performance of the season. The 28-year-old has now started four straight games, and he figures to remain a regular on Paul Molitor's lineup card for time being, particularly if he strings together some more hits.

Grossman is in Thursday's lineup at DH batting fourth in the order, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman gets his first start of the season against southpaw James Paxton. Grossman got regular duty at DH last season, but he's become more of a reserve player after the acquisition of Logan Morrison.

Grossman struck out in his lone pinch-hit appearance during Monday's 5-4 loss to the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

With the Twins facing right-handed starting pitching in their first four games, Grossman has been limited to a bench role in all of those contests. It's likely that Grossman will remain out of the lineup Wednesday against Pirates right-hander Ivan Nova, but he should draw into the lineup Thursday versus southpaw Steven Brault. One of the Twins' two lefty-hitting outfielders, Max Kepler or Eddie Rosario, would move to the bench to accommodate Grossman in that scenario.

Grossman went 1-for-3 in Friday's spring training win over Tampa Bay. He's hitting just .130 (3-for-23) this spring and faces increased competition for playing time with the Twins signing Logan Morrison.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman looked set to get regular playing time at DH, but now may have more of a reserve role with Morrison set to get the most time at DH. Grossman could work his way into a platoon in left field or right field, but his poor glove makes it hard to play him in the outfield. His spring training stats may not matter for a veteran, but they won't help his chances to carve out a regular role.

Grossman agreed to a one-year, $2 million deal with the Twins on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Robert Murray of FanRag Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

This was his first year as an arbitration-eligible player, and Grossman received a nearly $1.5 million bump from his 2017 salary. The outfielder/DH slashed just .246/.361/.380 with nine home runs and 45 RBI in 119 games last season, and could wind up being a fourth outfielder that provides spot starts for this upcoming season. Although Grossman was able to find his way on base due to a high walk rate (14.7 percent), he isn't able to mash like a typical designated hitter and lacks the defensive capabilities to be an everyday outfielder, which obviously limits his value.

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

EDGE Analysis

Grossman had a great showing Saturday, as he went 2-for-3 with three RBI and a run scored. Since returning from a thumb injury Sept. 5, he's slashed .292/.379/.563 over 16 games. He'll take a seat Sunday while Joe Mauer moves to the DH spot.

Grossman is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman heads to the bench following an 0-for-4 day at the plate during Tuesday's defeat. In his place, Joe Mauer will occupy the DH spot while Kennys Vargas draws the assignment at first.
