Grossman will sit Saturday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman hits the bench after starting nine straight games. He was needed in an everyday role while Ronald Acuna's knee issues limited him to designated hitter duty, but Acuna is now able play the field again, so Grossman could find himself on the bench more frequently going forward. He managed a .943 OPS with two home runs and a steal over that nine-game stretch, however, a performance which should prevent his playing time from being cut too significantly.

Grossman went 3-for-3 with and RBI while also getting caught stealing in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman provided all the offense for Atlanta on Wednesday, ripping an RBI single off Carlos Rodon in the top of the third frame before getting picked off trying to steal second a couple batters later. The three-hit effort was his second over his last six games, batting .300 with two homers, six RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base over that stretch.

Grossman went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a stolen base in a 6-4 win against Seattle on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman singled in the first inning, singled home a run and stole second in the fourth and tacked on a solo home run in the sixth. The 32-year-old was batting just 2-for-27 across his last 10 games prior to Friday's outburst, though he's been active on the bases with three thefts in his last 13 contests. Grossman is slashing .209/.316/.302 with five home runs, 35 runs, 38 RBI and six stolen bases in 112 games.

Grossman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman is on the bench against a right-handed pitcher (Pablo Lopez) for the second day in a row, perhaps signaling that he's moving into a reserve role in the Atlanta outfield. Meanwhile, Marcell Ozuna, who went 3-for-7 with a double in the first two games of the series, will draw his third consecutive start in left field Sunday and may have supplanted Grossman atop the depth chart.

Grossman isn't starting Saturday against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman is getting a breather after he went 0-for-8 with two walks and three strikeouts over the last three games. Marcell Ozuna will start in left field and bat eighth.

Grossman went 3-for-5 with two runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 14-2 rout of the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Hitting ninth and getting the start in left field, Grossman carved out more than his share of the production on the day, including his fourth steal of the year. The veteran switch hitter has seized a starting role with Atlanta, and in 17 games for his new club he's batting .260 (13-for-50) with two doubles, two homers, one steal, seven runs and eight RBI.

Grossman will start in right field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman has settled into a near-everyday role of late with Atlanta phasing out Marcell Ozuna and, to a lesser extent, William Contreras as regulars in the lineup. The trade-deadline pickup from Detroit will make his sixth consecutive start Sunday after going 4-for-16 with two home runs, two walks, five RBI and an additional run across the last five games.

Grossman went 1-for-3 with one homer, three RBI and one run scored in Wednesday's 9-7 loss to the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

The Braves' most recent outfield addition hit a huge three-run home run in the bottom of the seventh to move the game to 6-5 and give the Braves a chance to win the game. Grossman has now hit home runs two nights in a row and is looking like an upgrade over Marcell Ozuna, who has struggled mightily this season and is losing playing time to both Grossman and Eddie Rosario.

Grossman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start in left field and batting ninth, Grossman took R.J. Alvarez deep in the third inning to open the scoring on the night. The homer was his third of the season and his first with Atlanta in nine games, and the veteran outfielder has gone a respectable 6-for-22 (.273) with two doubles and a 4:7 BB:K since joining his new team at the trade deadline.

Grossman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Grossman, whom Atlanta acquired from Detroit on Aug. 1, had picked up starts in three of the past four games in the corner outfield, going 1-for-9 with two walks, a double and an RBI. The switch-hitting Grossman is expected to serve as a short-side platoon option for Atlanta, with Eddie Rosario and Ronald Acuna typically seeing the bulk of the starts at either corner-outfield spot.
