Tallies three hits in nightcap Grossman went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Royals.

Impact It was Grossman's first multi-hit effort since June 26, as the veteran outfielder has struggled all year to string together hits. He's now batting .210 after hitting .239 last season. Although Grossman's average wasn't great in 2021, he did offset that to some degree with a career-best 23 home runs and 20 stolen bases along with a .772 OPS. Grossman has just two long balls, three steals and a .596 OPS in 2022. With the power and speed largely disappearing, the 32-year-old hasn't been able to make much of a fantasy impact.

Playing both ends of twin bill Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Grossman will start in both games of Monday's doubleheader with the Guardians, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact After getting a breather in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Royals, Grossman remained out of the lineup for Sunday's 7-4 loss in the series finale. According to Woodbery, Hinch attributed Grossman's back-to-back benchings to the outfielder's poor career numbers against Royals starter Brady Singer (0-for-10, seven strikeouts). Grossman came off the bench to line out in a pinch-hitting appearance Sunday, so he doesn't appear to have fallen out of favor for an everyday role just yet.

Sits in second straight Grossman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Impact The Tigers haven't indicated that Grossman is dealing with an injury, but his absence from the lineup for a second straight day raises some eyebrows nonetheless. Like many Detroit hitters, Grossman has endured a disappointing 2022 campaign, but since he went 6-for-23 with three doubles and three walks over the team's last six games, he hasn't been the main culprit behind the team's recent struggles. An explanation for Grossman's back-to-back absences could become available later Sunday.

Homers again Sunday Grossman went 2-for-3 with two walks, a three-run home run and four total RBI in Sunday's win over the Rangers.

Impact Grossman went deep for the second straight day and he got to it right away, taking Dane Dunning deep in the first inning with two runners on. The homers are the first two of the season for the veteran outfielder, who hit a career-best 23 long balls last year. Grossman's previous career high was 11, so the 2021 total looks a little bit like an outlier.

Solo shot in win Grossman went 3-for-4 with a home run, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's win over Texas.

Impact Grossman launched a solo shot in the first then scored on an Eric Haase homer in the fourth. The three hits in Saturday's game were Grossman's first since June 13. After playing well in late April and early May, things have not gone well for the outfielder. Although his June batting average is .240, he is slashing just .205/.304/.259 on the season.
