TRENT GRISHAM NEWS

Records first steal Grisham went 2-for-5 with two doubles, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 7-0 win over the Brewers.

Impact Grisham hadn't attempted a stolen base this year prior to Friday, but he took his chances and swiped third before scoring on a Jurickson Profar single in the fifth inning. It's an unusual lack of speed on display for Grisham in 2022 -- he had 13 steals in 132 games last season. Part of his problem has been getting on base, as he's slashing a poor .167/.278/.296 with three home runs, 18 RBI, 13 runs scored, eight doubles and two triples through 193 plate appearances. The outfielder has mainly hit in the bottom third of the order since early May due to his prolonged slump at the plate.

Belts walkoff homer Grisham went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in a 4-2 victory versus the Pirates on Sunday.

Impact The teams played to a stalemate through nine innings, and Pittsburgh was unable to score in the top of the 10th. Grisham walked up to the plate to lead off the Padres' half of the frame and sent everyone home with a game-winning blast to right field. This was one of few offensive highlights for Grisham this season, as he's struggled so far with a .164/.269/.274 slash line and a career-worst 26.2 percent strikeout rate through 172 plate appearances. The home run was his first since April 16.

On bench again Friday Grisham remains on the bench Friday against the Pirates.

Impact The Padres will face their second straight southpaw (Jose Quintana), so Grisham will sit for the second straight game. He had effectively a true everyday role in center field for the first month of the season, but he's since slipped into a platoon with Jose Azocar in center field, with Azocar starting ahead of Grisham against five of the last six lefties the team has faced. Grisham is hitting just .157/.258/.250 on the season, so it's tough to say he deserves to reclaim the everyday job.

Impact Jose Azocar will get a look while Grisham sits following a stretch of seven consecutive starts in which he went 3-for-25 with a 2:8 BB:K. Grisham's average now sits at a putrid .146 on the season, and he could soon find himself on the bench on a more frequent basis, at least against left-handed pitchers.

Racks up three hits Sunday Grisham went 3-for-5 with two RBI and two strikeouts in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Pirates.

Impact Grisham his just .095 with a triple, two runs, a double and seven strikeouts over his seven games leading up to Saturday, but he put together back-to-back multi-hit performances to close out the series against Pittsburgh. The 25-year-old has led off in five straight games and is now hitting .182 with a homer, six RBI and four runs this season.

Sits against southpaw Grisham will be on the bench Saturday against lefty Tyler Anderson and the Dodgers.

Impact Grisham started against the first three lefties the Padres faced this season, but he's now been on the bench against three of the last four. Jose Azocar will take over in center field.

On bench again Tuesday Grisham will sit for the second straight game Tuesday against the Reds.

Impact Grisham started the first 11 games of the year but will now sit for the second straight day. That may indicate an unreported injury, though it could also imply that he's slipping into a platoon role, as both of his days off have come against lefties, including Tuesday's starter Reiver Sanmartin. Grisham actually has a reverse platoon split thus far in his career, however, with a 113 wRC+ against lefties and a 100 wRC+ against righties, so such a setup might not be the way to get the most out of him. Jose Azocar will make his second straight start in center field Tuesday.

Receives Monday off Grisham is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Grisham started the first 11 games of the season and will receive a well-deserved day off, especially since the Padres have yet to have a scheduled off day. The 25-year-old has struggled so far in 2022 with a .515 OPS and 28.6 percent strikeout rate. Jose Azocar will start in center field Monday for the Friars.

Pops first homer of year Grisham went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Atlanta.

Impact He took Will Smith deep in the eighth inning with the Padres down by four runs. The homer and RBI were both Grisham's first of the year, but his spot at the top of the order doesn't yet seem to be in jeopardy despite a .150/.227/.250 slash line through 10 games.

Leading off, despite struggles Grisham will start in center field and bat leadoff Thursday against Atlanta.

Impact Austin Nola received a look out of the leadoff spot Opening Day, but Grisham has since slotted in atop the lineup in each of the Padres' subsequent six games. Grisham has gone just 2-for-21 while reaching base at a .174 clip during that stretch, however, so it wouldn't be surprising if manager Bob Melvin elected to shuffle the lineup if the 25-year-old doesn't get going at the plate soon.

Will have everyday role in CF Grisham is expected to play center field "pretty much every day" this season, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact That Grisham will be the Padres' primary center fielder comes as no surprise, though his importance there is considerably heightened by the fact that, per Cassavell, the team doesn't have an obvious backup at the position. Manager Bob Melvin did mention, however, that CJ Abrams could get some reps there, which would give him a path to a major-league roster spot even after Fernando Tatis (wrist) returns to action. In addition to Abrams, Jurickson Profar and Wil Myers could be used to man center if needed, though neither has done particularly well when tried at the position in the past.

Impact Grisham's only hit of the night drove in two runs as the Padres were able to build up to a 9-5 lead in the seventh. The 24-year-old also stole his second base over the last three games to put him at 13 steals for the year.

Grisham has hit just .177 during the month of September, but he's shown signs of coming out of it in recent days, going 4-for-11 with a pair of extra-base hits and two walks over his last three tilts.
