Out with illness Updating a previous report, Grossman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals due to a non-COVID-19-related illness, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News report...
Impact Grossman's absence from the starting nine was initially believed to be for maintenance purposes with the Tigers playing a day game after a night game, but he's instead sitting as a result of flu-like symptoms. Akil Baddoo will fill in in left field Wednesday in place of Grossman, who will hope to recover in time to rejoin the lineup for Thursday's series opener versus Houston.

Takes seat amid dry spell Grossman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact Manager A.J. Hinch viewed the day game after a night game as a good opportunity to build in a rest day for Grossman, who had started in every contest dating back to June 8. He's endured a rough spell at the dish of late, going 3-for-28 while drawing only two walks across his last six games, dropping his season-long on-base average from .359 to .341. Akil Baddoo will fill in for Grossman in left field and as the Tigers' leadoff man.

Doubles twice, scores in win Grossman went 2-for-3 with a walk, two doubles and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.
Impact The Tigers are just 25-35, but Grossman has been a reliable veteran for the team. He has a solid .353 on-base percentage as the primary leadoff hitter and has also contributed eight stolen bases, which is just one off his career high. Grossman should continue to play nearly every day in Detroit, at least until the organization potentially decides to get younger players into the lineup more frequently.
