Snaps homer drought Grichuk went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Mariners.

Impact Grichuk went yard for the first time since July 28, and he ended an 18-game power drought as a result. The veteran outfielder is hitting just .205 since the beginning of the month, though, so he hasn't been an appealing fantasy alternative even if he has displayed decent power numbers all year long. Grichuk has reached the 20-homer plateau for the fifth time over the last six seasons.
