Vaughn Grissom

LAA 2nd Baseman #5

Player Stats

Vaughn Grissom went 3-for-6 with a double and three RBI in a lopsided victory over the Astros on Thursday evening in Houston.

Grissom delivered an RBI single in the second inning that tied the game at 2-2, then came around to score the go-ahead run on a bunt by Tyler Heineman. He then added a two-run double in the fourth that pushed their advantage to 10-2. The 25-year-old has at least held his own at the MLB level this season, slashing .249/.308/.377 with seven long balls and 50 RBI in 329 plate appearances.

Nolan Schanuel

LAA 1st Baseman #18

Nolan Schanuel is not in the Angels’ starting lineup for Sunday’s battle against the Royals.

Schanuel will take a seat with left-hander Noah Cameron getting the ball for the Royals in this one. Vaughn Grissom will cover first base in his absence while Oswald Peraza starts at second base and will bat seventh for the Halos.

Vaughn Grissom is not in the Angels’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s skirmish against the Marlins.

It appears to be nothing more than a routine day of rest for the 25-year-old infielder. Adam Frazier will start in his place at second base and will bat ninth for the Halos against Marlins’ right-hander Ryan Gusto on Sunday afternoon in Miami.
Vaughn Grissom

LAA 2nd Baseman #5

Vaughn Grissom went 3-for-5 and hit his seventh homer against the Astros on Monday.

It was a banner game for Grissom through eight, but he committed a big error at second base in the Astros’ four-run ninth and then grounded out to end the game with the tying run on base. Fortunately, it won’t be the difference in whether the Angels stay home in October or not. Grissom has looked like a legitimate solution at second base while hitting .259/.325/.411 this year. He has 77 hard-hit balls and just 39 strikeouts in 253 plate appearances.
Vaughn Grissom

LAA 2nd Baseman #5

Vaughn Grissom belted a game-tying two-run homer in the eighth inning on Friday, but it still wasn’t enough to power the Angels past the Giants in San Francisco.

Grissom pulled the Halos even at six runs apiece with his 381-foot (103.4-mph EV) two-run shot off of Jason Foley in the eighth inning. That would wind up being the extent of their offense in the extra-inning loss. Grissom also singled in the contest, finishing the night 2-for-5. For the season, the 25-year-old infielder is slashing a respectable .255/.319/.401 with six homers and 40 RBI in 239 plate appearances.

LAA 2nd Baseman #5

Vaughn Grissom went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI on Friday against the Twins.

Grissom got the Angels going in the fourth inning with a solo home run off Twins’ starter Zebby Matthews and drove in their final run in the following frame with a sacrifice fly. He could be working his way into an everyday role again with his third straight here and sixth in the Angels’ last nine games.
Jorge Soler

LAA Designated Hitter #12

Jorge Soler is not in the Angels’ starting lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Athletics.

It appears to be nothing more than a routine day of maintenance for the 34-year-old slugger. Nolan Schanuel will function as the team’s designated hitter in his place while Vaughn Grissom will start at first base and bat fifth for the Halos against Athletics’ right-hander Aaron Civale.
Vaughn Grissom

LAA 2nd Baseman #5

Vaughn Grissom is out of the Angels lineup for the fourth time in five games Friday against the A’s.

Grissom was swinging well and playing regularly before going on the injured list with an oblique issue at the beginning of the month, but he’s just 3-for-21 since returning and the Angels have decided they prefer Donovan Walton and Denzer Guzman over him. With 58 hard-hit balls and just 20 strikeouts over 176 plate appearances, Grissom has shown some promise this year. He seems worthy of more playing time.

Vaughn Grissom is not in the Angels’ starting lineup for Friday evening’s showdown against the Athletics.

The Angels appear to be easing Grissom back into action, as he started two straight games after coming off the injured list on Wednesday. Expect him to be back in there on Saturday. Nolan Schanuel is at first base and batting second for the Halos against opposing left-hander Jeffrey Springs on Friday evening in West Sacramento.

Angels activated INF Vaughn Grissom (oblique) from the 10-day injured list

Grissom has been out since June 8th with the oblique strain and could get right back into the starting lineup. The 25-year-old was hitting .246/.325/.410 with four homers and 27 RBI across 155 plate appearances through 40 games. He remains an option in deep fantasy leagues.
Vaughn Grissom

LAA 2nd Baseman #5

Angels placed INF Vaughn Grissom on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 5, with a left oblique strain.

Grissom heads to the injured list after missing three consecutive contests over the weekend with side tightness. No word yet on the severity of the strain, which will determine how much time he misses. The 25-year-old has proven to be a worthwhile reclamation project for a perpetually rebuilding Los Angeles franchise, hitting .246/.325/.410 with four homers and 27 RBI across 155 plate appearances through 40 games.

Sam Antonacci is not in Chicago’s starting lineup against the Mets on Friday.

He sits against LHP Sean Manaea. Antonacci has started against LHPs here or there — he’s not in a strict platoon — but he’s hitting .225/.326/.263 against them this year so the White Sox are doing your fantasy team a favor.

Orioles designated RHP Albert Suárez for assignment.

This happened on May 2, and the Orioles wound up keeping Suárez and selecting his contract on May 19. It happened again on May 24, and he elected free agency, then re-signed with the Orioles a day later. What we’re saying is: Suárez can be DFAed, but he will eternally live on this roster anyway.

Rays POBO Erik Neander said RHP Manuel Rodríguez (elbow) will be activated off the injured list over the weekend.

Rodríguez has been on rehab assignment after undergoing Tommy John surgery last August. This is a pretty quick return from surgery, but the Rays are apparently excited about his progress despite a 10.50 ERA for Triple-A Durham on rehab.

Marlins optioned INF Graham Pauley to Triple-A Jacksonville.

Pauley has hit .194/.228/.306 in 115 plate appearances for the Marlins this year. The 25-year-old was only on the roster for 10 days this time and doesn’t appear to be a major part of their end-of-season plans.

Marlins purchased the contract of C Logan Driscoll from Triple-A Jacksonville.

With Graham Pauley optioned out, the Marlins will go with the rare four-catcher alignment (Joe Mack, Agustín Ramírez, Brian Navarreto, and Driscoll) in the short term.
Ramírez is likely done seeing time at the position, while the 31-year-old Navarreto might not be long for the roster. Driscoll, 28, hit .250/.343/.368 at Triple-A Durham this year and doesn’t figure to be a fantasy contributor.

Athletics placed INF Jacob Wilson (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list.

This was reported to be happening yesterday and we now have official confirmation. Wilson is unlikely to play again this year and can be dropped in any re-draft formats where you were holding out hope for the Sacramento home park to help him out. Based on reporting he seems likely to undergo some sort of shoulder surgery in the near future.
