Grossman is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Indians, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grossman will give way to Eduardo Escobar at designated hitter after going 2-for-19 at the plate over his last five starts. While Grossman has been a boon for those in leagues where on-base percentage is a category thanks to his .367 mark, his statistical portfolio has been otherwise underwhelming this season, making him a low-upside fantasy option in most traditional 5x5 formats.

Grossman is out of the lineup Friday against the Tigers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grossman will hit the bench for the third straight game after sitting the past two in Milwaukee as the Twins played without a DH. In his place, Miguel Sano gets a day off from the field while manning the DH spot for the series opener, while Eduardo Escobar draws the start at third.

Grossman is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grossman will head to the bench for a second straight game as the Twins play another DH-less game at Miller Park. He is just 4-for-22 (.182) in seven games this month, so he'll look to turn things around when the Twins head to Detroit over the weekend.

Grossman is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Brewers, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
With no DH spot available at Miller Park, Grossman will head to the bench as the Twins roll out their regular outfield of Max Kepler, Byron Buxton and Eddie Rosario. Grossman has been slumping of late with a 5-for-28 showing at the plate over the Twins' last 10 games, so it wouldn't be surprising if he was held out of the lineup again Thursday in the series finale in Milwaukee.

Grossman is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis

Grossman is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With no designated hitter available in Dodger Stadium (a National League park), Grossman will head to the bench for a night off. He could slot into the lineup as an outfielder for the series finale Wednesday like he did in Monday's contest.

Grossman is out of the lineup Monday against the Yankees, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kennys Vargas will earn another turn in the lineup after crushing a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Astros, and it will come at the expense of Grossman, who is sitting out for the first time in the second half. Grossman maintains nearly a 100-point edge over Vargas in on-base percentage this season, so he's still expected to serve as the Twins' primary designated hitter the rest of the way.

Grossman will serve as the Twins' designated hitter and leadoff man in Tuesday's game against the Angels, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After taking off Monday for rest, Grossman will move up a spot in the order with usual No. 1 hitter Brian Dozier (back) sitting out. Dozier will be available off the bench and is expected to return to the lineup Wednesday, so Grossman's stay atop the lineup is expected to be brief. Grossman has found success in the table-setting role this season, albeit in a limited sample size. He's gone 6-for-14 with a home run, two doubles and five walks while leading off.

Grossman is not in the lineup Monday against the Angels, LaVelle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite riding a four-game hitting streak, Grossman will head to the bench for a breather after playing 26 innings over the past two days. Kennys Vargas will serve as the designated hitter in his stead.
