Heads to bench Grichuk is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Though he'll cede his spot in the outfield to Yonathan Daza in the series finale, Grichuk still looks poised to hold down a near-everyday role in the Colorado outfield even after Kris Bryant made his return from the 10-day injured list Monday.

The 30-year-old's 2022 numbers are fairly consistent with his career production to date, and his career .293 OBP combined with a 26.6% strikeout percentage suggest that his ceiling has already been reached.

However, his power has returned a bit of late, as he has four extra-base hits -- including a pair of homers -- in his last eight games. Overall, Grichuk has maintained only a 79 wRC+ and .301 wOBA across 237 plate appearances on the campaign.
