4 years agoToronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk is on quite a tear to start the 2021 season. The veteran outfielder had two hits during Monday's 6-2 win against the Texas Rangers and now has hits in all four games to start the year. Known for being an aggressive hitter, Grichuk also has walked in three straight games. So far this season, he's hitting .462 with a 1.332 OPS in 13 at-bats. The 29-year-old is seeing increased playing time due to the injury to George Springer (oblique). With the former Houston Astro expected back soon, Grichuk's hot hitting could bounce struggling DH Rowdy Tellez to the bench. The former St. Louis Cardinals outfielder produced a 109 wRC+ with 12 homers in 55 games in 2020.--Marc Hulet - RotoBaller
