3 years agoColorado Rockies outfielder Randal Grichuk is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of the team's doubleheader against the New York Mets on Saturday. Kris Bryant (back) will be returning from the injured list for the game and he will be starting in the outfield alongside Connor Joe and Yonathan Daza. Grichuk has compiled five home runs, 21 RBI and 14 runs over 28 games this year while slashing .275/.322/.440. He's been plagued by a 61% ground ball rate so far this season, way up from his career 39.3% ground ball rate. Once he starts getting under the ball more consistently again, we should see an uptick in home runs, especially with Coors Field supporting him for the first time in his career.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller
