Grossman started in right field and went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 10-4 win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Grossman made a third straight start in right field, as Texas manager Bruce Bochy navigates the waters without injured outfielder Adolis Garcia (knee). The Rangers have won all three games with Grossman, who is 3-for-8 with three walks, three RBI and three runs scored. Garcia is out until at least Monday, so there should be opportunities for Grossman in the near term.

Grossman isn't in the Rangers' lineup Friday against Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
Grossman will get a breather Friday after failing to record a hit over his last four games. Ezequiel Duran will start in left field and bat seventh in Grossman's place.

Grossman entered Wednesday's game for the injured Adolis Garcia (knee) and went 0-for-3 in a loss to Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Grossman went 0-for-7 during the three-game series against the Astros and is hitless in his last 10 at-bats. Garcia's exit put an exclamation point on an ugly, during which Texas was swept by its division foe and outscored, 39-10. Grossman could get more plate appearances, if Garcia's injury lingers. The Rangers are off Thursday before kicking off a three-game set Friday against the lowly Athletics.

Grossman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old started the previous five games but will sit against Houston righty Justin Verlander. Grossman appears to have reclaimed the primary job in left field, but it'll be Travis Jankowski who starts there in Wednesday's series finale.

Grossman will start in left field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Grossman will pick up his third consecutive start in left field and has now been included in the lineup seven times in the past eight games. He's maintained a 1.034 OPS over his prior six starts and looks like he'll remain a priority in the Texas lineup over Travis Jankowski and J.P. Martinez while he's swinging a hot bat.

Grossman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Grossman will head to the bench after he started each of the last four games while going 3-for-11 with a double, four walks, two runs and two RBI over that stretch. With Mitch Garver having seemingly taken over as the Rangers' top designated hitter, Grossman is primarily battling the likes of Travis Jankowski and J.P. Martinez for playing time in left field.

Grossman will start in left field and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Grossman is back in the lineup for the second straight day after going 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-2 win, but he didn't start in any of the preceding three games. Mitch Garver still appears to have the edge on the primary designated-hitter role for Texas, but Grossman will pick up a start in left field Sunday while Travis Jankowski rests.

Grossman will serve as the Rangers' designated hitter and No. 7 hitter in Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Though Grossman is maintaining an underwhelming .698 OPS on the season, he's at least been productive to begin August. After doubling twice and drawing a walk in Tuesday's 6-1 win, Grossman's slash line sits at .278/.381/.611 through six games this month. He'll remain in the lineup Wednesday for the sixth game in a row and should have a clear path to a regular role while Josh Jung (thumb) is on the shelf.

Grossman started at designated hitter and went 0-for-4 in Sunday's 6-0 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Grossman made his third consecutive start and could see an uptick in plate appearances as the primary DH due to Josh Jung's thumb injury. The third baseman suffered a broken thumb on Sunday and likely faces a multi-week absence. Ezequiel Duran and Josh Smith are expected to fill in at third base, which opens up DH for Grossman. While that's a good thing for the player, it may be less so for fantasy managers. Grossman is batting .189 with a .634 OPS over 104 plate appearances since June 1. The Rangers could also rotation catchers Mitch Garver and Sam Huff at DH.

Grossman went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Saturday's 9-8 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
His fourth-inning shot off George Soriano got the Rangers on the board and snapped a 25-game power drought -- his last homer came June 11. Grossman's playing time has become inconsistent over the last couple months, but with both Leody Taveras (.544 OPS since the All-Star break) and Ezequiel Duran (.448 OPS since the break) slumping, the door could be open for the veteran outfielder to reclaim some of those lost plate appearances. In 12 post-ASB games, Grossman has a .250/.382/.500 slash line.
