Goes deep Friday Grisham went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and two walks in a 10-5 win over Washington on Friday.

Impact Grisham's big contribution to the win was a 442-foot, three-run homer in the fifth inning that gave the Padres a seven-run lead. The long ball was his first since he went deep in the team's first three contests this month. Grisham has been better in August but is still batting just .197 on the season and regularly sits against southpaw starters.

Gets another breather Grisham is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

Impact The Padres will face a left-hander for the third straight day, and as he did both Saturday and Sunday, Grisham will open on the bench while Wil Myers starts in center field. Grisham is actually faring better against lefties than righties this season, but either way he is still hitting just .194, so don't be surprised if this arrangement continues.

Goes yard twice Tuesday Grisham went 3-for-7 with two walks, two home runs, four runs scored and four RBI across both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader sweep of the Rockies.

Impact The 25-year-old went yard in both contests and he played hero in the nightcap, taking Alex Colome deep for a walkoff solo shot in the bottom of the ninth inning. Grisham extended his homer streak to three games and his hit streak to seven in the process, and since the beginning of July he's slashing .233/.316/.512 with seven of his 13 home runs on the year, but his slash line on the season remains a shaky .198/.294/.366.

Swats solo shot Grisham went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-1 win over the Rockies.

Impact Grisham has hit safely in five straight games, but he hasn't recorded a multi-hit effort since July 7. He went yard four times in 24 games in July, and it didn't take the veteran outfielder long to smack a homer in August. For the season, he owns a .193/.288/.347 slash line with 11 long balls, 36 RBI, 40 runs scored and four stolen bases through 100 contests.

Exits after collision Grisham was removed in the eighth inning of Saturday's game against the Mets after falling to the ground in a collision at first base. His back locked up, and he may be held out of...

Impact In the top of the seventh frame, Grisham hit a grounder to first base and knocked his foot against opposing pitcher Chris Bassitt, who was covering on the play. The collision caused Grisham to tumble to the ground, but he was able to play defense in the bottom of the inning. However, he was replaced in center field by Esteury Ruiz in the eighth, and Padres manager Bob Melvin clarified after the contest that the removal was due to Grisham's back locking up. Grisham went 0-for-3 with a strikeout prior to departing.

Slugs solo shot Grisham went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-1 victory versus the Mets.

Impact Grisham failed to reach base in his two plate appearances against Max Scherzer, but he pounced on a Joely Rodriguez changeup in the seventh inning for a 404-foot solo homer. The long ball was Grisham's 10th of the campaign, giving him three straight seasons with double-digit homers. It's been an otherwise forgettable year for the center fielder, as he's slashing a meek .192/.292/.340 through 349 plate appearances.

For the season, Grisham has a .192/.295/.334 line across 338 plate appearances.

On bench versus lefty Grisham is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

Impact The lefty-hitting Grisham will take a seat with southpaw Austin Gomber on the mound, paving the way for Triple-A El Paso call-up Esteury Ruiz to start in center field in his MLB debut. With Jurickson Profar (concussion) and Wil Myers (knee) residing on the injured list, the Padres will still have room in the outfield for both Grisham and Ruiz against right-handed pitching, if manager Bob Melvin chooses to give the rookie a look as an everyday player.

Swipes third bag Grisham went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in a 2-1 win in extra innings Thursday over San Francisco.

It was just the third steal and third attempt for Grisham this season after he swiped double-digit bases in 2020 and 2021.

Goes deep in loss Grisham went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Monday's loss to Seattle.

Impact The Padres didn't have much to celebrate in the Independence Day loss, but Grisham provided a small spark with his ninth-inning, 401-foot shot to right field. The homer was his second in his past four games and eighth of the campaign, putting him on pace for a chance to exceed the career-high 15 long balls he smacked last season. However, Grisham's slash line has cratered in 2022 -- it sits at an ugly .188/.285/.335 through 79 contests.

No hits in return Grisham (shoulder) went 0-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact Grisham knocked in the Padres' third run with a groundout in the fifth inning. He missed two games with shoulder soreness, but it was not deemed a significant issue. The outfielder had started to pick up the pace a bit prior to the injury, but he still owns a lackluster .188/.287/.321 slash line with six home runs, 28 RBI, 29 runs scored and two stolen bases across 281 plate appearances.

Good to go Tuesday Grisham (shoulder) is starting in center field and batting leadoff Tuesday at Arizona.

Impact The 25-year-old sat out the past two games while dealing with soreness in his right shoulder, though it never appears to have been a serious issue since he served as a defensive replacement late in Sunday's contest. Grisham posted a .244/.304/.390 slash line with two home runs, six RBI and eight runs in the 10 games prior to the injury.

Out again Sunday Grisham (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Grisham was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to right shoulder soreness, and he won't rejoin the starting nine for Sunday's series finale. The Padres have a scheduled day off Monday, so the 25-year-old will have an extra day to recover before Tuesday's series opener against the Diamondbacks. Jose Azocar will start in center field and bat ninth.

Slugs solo shot Grisham went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Grisham added some insurance for the Padres with his fifth-inning blast. Three of his six homers this season have come in the last 11 games, though he's batting just .225 (9-for-40) in that span. In 67 contests overall, he's logged a .188/.289/.332 slash line with 26 RBI, 26 runs scored, two stolen bases, 10 doubles and two triples. He should continue to see a regular role as a solid defensive center fielder -- he's yet to commit an error this season.
