Randal Grichuk (OF, TOR) - Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 13% of leagues

ANALYSIS: The first month of the 2018 season was an unmitigated disaster for Randal Grichuk. He hit just .106, then hurt himself trying to make a diving play in the field. Since returning from that injury, however, he's done his best to overcome that rough first impression in Toronto. Grichuk has hit .273/.323/.546 with 14 home runs and 73 R+BI in 56 games after his stint on the disabled list, and has been seeing the bulk of his at-bats in the top half of the Toronto lineup over the last few weeks.

Perhaps most impressively for a guy who entered the season with a career strikeout rate around 30%, Grichuk has trimmed that rate down to 20% since his injury and 23% overall. He's a good pickup in most formats for owners in need of power.
