Grichuk went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Grichuk launched a third-inning home run off JP Sears for his 16th of the year. The 31-year-old had hit north of 20 home runs in five consecutive full seasons (he hit 12 in the 2020 shortened season) but has managed to go under that number in back-to-back years. Still, Grichuk tallied at least one hit in 23 of his final 28 games of the year and finishes slashing .267/.321/.459 with 44 RBI, 65 runs and a 29:96 BB:K in 471 plate appearances.

Grichuk (head) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grichuk will be sidelined for at least one game after being hit by a pitch in the head during Tuesday's contest. He should be considered day-to-day while Jo Adell receives a start in left field.

Grichuk exited Tuesday's game against the Rays after getting hit in the head by a pitch.
EDGE Analysis
Luckily, the ball ricocheted off Grichuk's helmet, and he was able to walk off the field under his own power, but the Angels will likely still evaluate him for a potential concussion. Grichuk should be viewed as day-to-day for now.

Grichuk went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Grichuk has hit safely in all but two of his 15 games in September, and both of those hitless efforts came as a pinch hitter. He's gone 15-for-49 (.306) with three homers, eight RBI and four doubles this month. Overall, the veteran outfielder is slashing .272/.325/.467 with 15 long balls, 43 RBI, 57 runs scored and two stolen bases through 107 games between the Angels and the Rockies this year. He should be able to maintain a regular role over the last two weeks of the season.

Grichuk is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grichuk will receive a breather as the Angels conclude their series in Seattle with a day game. The 31-year-old had started in each of the Halos' last five games, going 5-for-17 with a home run, three doubles, four RBI and four runs during that stretch.

Grichuk went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Grichuk has hit safely in seven straight games, going 8-for-27 (.296) in that span. The outfielder is up to 14 homers on the year, including six in 37 games with the Angels since he was traded from the Rockies, though he's hit just .197 with his new team. For the year, he's at a .269/.323/.457 slash line with 39 RBI, 54 runs scored and two stolen bases through 101 contests.

Grichuk was placed back on waivers by the Angels on Wednesday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grichuk passed through waivers unclaimed in late August, and wouldn't be eligible for any postseason roster this time around, but the Angels will again try to get some salary relief on what remains of his $10.3 million figure for 2023. The 32-year-old outfielder has slashed .266/.321/.451 with 13 homers and 36 RBI in 97 games (389 plate appearances) this season between Colorado and Anaheim.

Grichuk went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to Baltimore on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Grichuk drew the Angels to within a run with his fourth-inning solo shot, though that's as close as his team was able to get. The long ball was his first since Los Angeles put him on waivers at the end of August. Grichuk wasn't claimed by any team and thus remained with the Angels, and he's gone 3-for-11 with four strikeouts and Monday's homer since.

Grichuk cleared waivers and will remain with the Angels, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Out of the six players the Angels placed on waivers earlier this week, only Grichuk went unclaimed. While they could still technically outright him and give the outfielder the option to elect free agency, it seems unlikely since they're going to be responsible for the remainder of his 2023 salary, anyway. Grichuk has just a .567 OPS in 28 games since the Angels acquired him via trade from the Rockies.
