Grichuk is out of the lineup Tuesday due to a groin issue, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This update helps to explain why Grichuk has appeared in only one game since the All-Star break, but he was spotted running the bases Tuesday afternoon in Colorado and should be able to return to action soon. Brenton Doyle will cover center field and bat ninth for the Rockies on Tuesday night against the visiting Astros.

Grichuk went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 7-2 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
The Rockies got good production from the No. 6 spot in the lineup Friday, with both Grichuk and pinch hitter Nolan Jones going deep. Grichuk has turned up his power of late, with all but one of his five homers coming since June 21, including three of them in July. The veteran outfielder has added a reliable .300/.364/.473 slash line, 22 RBI, 33 runs scored, a stolen base, 18 doubles and a triple over 225 plate appearances.

Grichuk went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Grichuk has only four home runs this season, though two have come in his last three starts. The return of Kris Bryant threatened Grichuk's playing time, though he appears to have taken over primary duties in center field, in turn sending Brenton Doyle to the bench.

Grichuk went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 14-9 loss to the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Grichuk has hit reasonably well of late, going 13-for-44 (.295) over his last 12 contests. In that span, he's added two homers, four RBI and three doubles, though he's also struck out 14 times. The outfielder hasn't hit for much over-the-fence power in 2023 -- his long ball Sunday was his third of the year in 50 contests. He's slashing .293/.356/.436 with 19 RBI, 29 runs scored, one stolen base, 16 doubles and one triple through 207 plate appearances.

Grichuk went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Grichuk did his damage early in the game with a two-RBI single in the third inning. He's tallied four multi-hit performances in his last 13 starts, though he has only five extra-base hits across 48 at-bats in that span. Grichuk's power has fallen off sharply overall, as he has a .136 ISO across 196 plate appearances for the campaign.

Grichuk went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo homer in Wednesday's loss against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Grichuk's solo home run in the top of the fourth put the Rockies up 3-0 as the team fought to avoid its eighth consecutive loss. Unfortunately, the Reds would storm back to take a 5-3 lead in the eighth inning as Colorado's offense went ice cold, though the right fielder put forth his best effort, reaching base again on a double in the ninth before being stranded to close out the contest. Grichuk has now recorded two hits in two of his last four games, though his average for the month of June still sits at just .219 following Wednesday's performance.
