2024 Fantasy Outlook
Grossman didn't find much of a free agent market in the offseason and signed with Chicago for the final days of spring training. The veteran outfielder played in 115 games for the Rangers last season and had a .238/.340/.394 slash line with 10 home runs. Most of his playing time figures to come against lefties given his career .808 OPS versus southpaws. He'll likely begin the campaign with Triple-A Charlotte before potentially getting a look with the big club. Read Past Outlooks
Sitting for Game 1 of twin bill
Grossman is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Royals.
ANALYSIS
Grossman had started in the corner outfield and occupied the leadoff spot in each of the previous eight games, reaching base at a .417 clip during that stretch while providing limited counting stats (zero home runs, one stolen base, three runs and one RBI). Given how poorly the White Sox offense as a whole has performed this season, Grossman has probably done enough to retain a near-everyday role, though he could sit more frequently than he had been over the past week after Chicago welcomed Eloy Jimenez back from the injured list Monday. Jimenez will serve as the White Sox's designated hitter in the opening game Wednesday, while Andrew Benintendi and Gavin Sheets start at the corner-outfield spots.

Stat Review
How does Robbie Grossman compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In talks with Rangers
Grossman has had contract discussions with the Rangers, Buster Olney of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Rangers' left-field job is wide open, so this would be a good landing spot for Grossman. The switch-hitting outfielder is coming off a poor .622 OPS over 129 games for Detroit and Atlanta last season, but he had a .772 OPS with 23 homers and 20 steals for the Tigers in 2021.

Grossman began the season as a popular means to draft power and speed and ending it simply gross, man. His strikeout rate spiked to a career high 27%, though his 11.7% walk rate was in line with usual levels. Grossman's average exit velocity dropped to 10th percentile with his HardHit% cratered to 8%. The result was an 82 wRC+, his worst since becoming a regular player. After stealing 20 bags the prior campaign, Grossman tallied just six pilfers. Grossman was slashing just .205/.313/.282 when the Tigers shipped him to Atlanta where his power returned, fueling a .217/.306/.370 finish with half of his steals. Grossman is a switch-hitter but has hit much better from the right side, so he's likely earmarked for a platoon role. Grossman's improved play over the last two months is encouraging, but he's no longer invited to the mixed league table.
