Grisham is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Giants.

Grisham is out of the lineup Sunday against the Athletics.

It's just Grisham's fourth time on the bench in the Padres' past 18 games, but those absences have come against the only left-handed starters they've faced. Lefty Ken Waldichuk will serve as Oakland's bulk pitcher behind an opener Sunday, and Jose Azocar will start in center field for San Diego.

Grisham went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional RBI, one stolen base and two total runs scored in Friday's 11-2 win over the Astros.

Grisham got things done in a variety of ways in the blowout victory. He's collected three multi-hit efforts over his first six games in September after ending August in an 0-for-26 slump. The outfielder is up to a .205/.315/.364 slash line with 13 homers, 14 steals, 46 RBI and 60 runs scored through 136 contests. He remains a regular in the lineup, though he's hit at the bottom of the order for a majority of the season.

Grisham went 2-for-4 with a run, an RBI and a stolen base against the Phillies in Monday's loss.

Grisham just finished a rough August during which he slashed .156/.270/.208 with a 36.3 percent strikeout rate over 27 contests. September has started a bit more kindly for him, as he's notched two multi-hit performances thus far while going 4-for-10 through three games. Grisham's defense and power/speed potential have helped keep him in a near-everyday role in center field for the Padres, though his .203/.314/.356 slash line and 29.3 percent strikeout rate on the campaign are hardly the stuff of fantasy greatness.

Grisham isn't in the Padres' lineup Saturday against the Giants, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Grisham went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Orioles.

Grisham got a day off Tuesday to reset amid a 1-for-20 slump over his last six games, and it appears to have done him some good. The outfielder went deep in the seventh inning Wednesday to pad the Padres' lead to 4-2. For the season, he's up to 12 homers, 12 stolen bases, 39 RBI, 55 runs scored and a .211/.317/.381 slash line through 116 games in a near-everyday role.

Grisham is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Orioles.

Grisham has gone 1-for-20 with 11 strikeouts over his last six games and his season OPS has dropped to .687. Fernando Tatis will patrol center field for the Padres on Tuesday as Ben Gamel gets a chance in right.

Grisham went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Rockies.

Grisham's ninth-inning blast forced extra innings, but the Rockies walked it off in the 10th. The outfielder has faded late in July, going 4-for-34 over his last 11 contests. He's now at a .208/.320/.389 slash line with 11 home runs, 11 stolen bases, 33 RBI and 48 runs scored through 103 games this season. Despite the lackluster hitting, he remains a near-everyday player in center field.

Grisham went 1-for-3 with a run and a stolen base in a 5-3 win against the Rangers on Sunday.

Grisham helped generate a key insurance run in the eighth inning, lacing a leadoff single, swiping second base and coming around to score on a Fernando Tatis Jr. single. It was a much-needed positive performance for Grisham, as he came into the contest having gone 1-for-26 over his previous eight games. The centerfielder came out of the All-Star break swinging a hot bat but has regressed since, lowering his season batting average back down to a paltry .207, albeit with a strong 13.4 percent walk rate.

Grisham went 2-for-7 with a home run, a walk and four RBI across both games of Saturday's doubleheader versus Philadelphia.

Grisham has been picking up his production of late, and he continued that surge with a three-run homer in his opening plate appearance of the twin bill. The outfielder added an RBI single in Game 2 to extend his modest hitting streak to six games. During that stretch, Grisham is slashing .350/.435/.650 with Saturday's homer, three doubles, seven RBI and one steal.

Grisham went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk, two runs and a stolen base against the Phillies in an 8-3 win Friday.

Grisham was very productive out of the No. 9 spot in the lineup, reaching base three times and twice scoring on a teammate's home run. After a slow start to the campaign, Grisham has come alive at the plate over the past three-plus weeks, slashing .295/.403/.508 with two homers, five doubles,, eight RBI, 12 runs and four steals over his past 19 games. He's still striking out at a troublesome 27.4 percent clip over that span, though.

Grisham went 1-for-3 with a triple, a walk, an RBI, a stolen base and three runs scored in Saturday's 12-5 win against the Reds.

Grisham has largely struggled this season, but he's been hot of late, putting together a five-game hitting streak during which he's tallied a double, a triple, two homers, a stolen base, four RBI and five runs. The center fielder spent some time early in the season hitting atop the order, but he's batted in the No. 8 or No. 9 slot in all 22 games he's played in since June 7. Despite the recent strong stretch, Grisham's season slash line still sits at a disappointing .212/.321/.388, and he's added eight homers, 23 RBI, 35 runs and eight thefts over 297 plate appearances.

Grisham went 0-for-1 with a walk, a run and a stolen base Sunday in a loss to the Nationals.

Grisham scored San Diego's first run in the fifth inning, reaching first base on a fielder's choice, stealing second and crossing the plate on a Fernando Tatis single. However, Grisham was removed for pinch hitter Gary Sanchez in the bottom of the sixth with two outs and the bases loaded. Washington had brought in southpaw Joe La Sora for that critical moment, and manager Bob Melvin preferred the strikeout-prone Sanchez (who, indeed, struck out) to the lefty Grisham. That was a curious decision given that Grisham has hit lefties well this season, batting .286 with as many homers (three) in 63 at-bats as he has against right-handers in 174 at-bats.

Grisham went 2-for-3 with a double, a run, an RBI and a stolen base Thursday in a 13-3 victory over the Nationals.

Grisham was one of six Padres who collected multiple hits in the contest, and he reached base an additional time on a hit-by-pitch. The outfielder has posted a meager .210/.319/.365 slash line on the season, but he's been hitting well of late. Over the past week, Grisham is slashing .391/.462/.478 with two doubles, two RBI, five runs and a pair of steals.

Grisham went 1-for-2 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Rays.

Grisham had a solid game from the bottom of the order. He snapped an eight-game skid without a walk while hitting safely for the seventh time in his last nine contests. The outfielder has gone just 7-for-31 (.226) in that span, but it's an improvement on his .195 batting average for the season. Grisham has added five steals, six home runs, 17 RBI, 27 runs scored and 17 doubles through 67 games.

Grisham went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Guardians.

Grisham has hit safely in his last four games, going 4-for-15 with a home run and a double in that span. The outfielder has also picked up all four of his steals this season since May 25. He's at a .196/.313/.362 slash line with six homers, 16 RBI, 24 runs scored and 15 doubles through 62 contests as the Padres' primary center fielder. Getting his bat going more consistently would help him solidify his place in the lineup.

Grisham went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-6 win over the Rockies.

Grisham had gone just 2-for-13 over his previous six games in June. The outfielder provided his first homer since May 25, which was his sixth long ball of the campaign. He's more or less on a similar power pace to the last two years, but he's slashing just .191/.315/.362 with 16 RBI, 24 runs scored and three stolen bases through 59 contests. He's likely to be in the bottom third of the order when he plays, though he's still seeing the bulk of playing time in center field.

Grisham (back) is hitting ninth and playing center field in Wednesday's contest against the Mariners, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Grisham was scratched from Monday's game versus the Cubs and unable to play Tuesday against Seattle because of lower back spasms. He'll give it a go Wednesday with Brandon Dixon retreating to the bench and Fernando Tatis moving back to right field.

Grisham went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a steal in Thursday's victory over the Nationals.

Grisham got the Padres on the board with a two-run shot off Jake Irvin in the second inning before picking up his first stolen base of the year in the sixth. Grisham will hope that Thursday's performance will get him back on track -- he'd gone just 4-for-46 with a .353 OPS in his previous 16 games. Overall, the 26-year-old outfielder is slashing .194/.313/.368 with five home runs, 14 RBI and 19 runs scored through 183 plate appearances this season.

Grisham went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a run and an RBI in an 8-3 win over Cincinnati on Monday.

Grisham went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk and four RBI in a 7-5 win against the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

He nearly doubled his RBI total Thursday without going deep, plating a pair of runners with second-inning double and duplicating the feat with another double in the sixth. Grisham temporarily lost his starting job in center field last season due to prolonged struggles at the plate, but he's solidified an everyday role this year with a more reliable performance on offense. Through 20 games, he's slashing .233/.333/.493 with a 13.1 percent walk rate and a 26.2 percent strikeout rate.

Grisham is out of the starting lineup for Monday's contest against Atlanta.

Grisham went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's extra-inning loss to the Brewers.

Grisham failed to reach base in his first three plate appearances before coming through with a clutch two-out, two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning that tied the score 3-3. The outfielder is tied for the team lead with four long balls on the season, but Thursday's was his first that wasn't a solo shot, and he's tallied just five RBI on the campaign. Grisham's above-average power and speed give him some intrigue in fantasy, and he's always been able to work a walk at the plate. However, he's batting just .200 so far in 2023 after posting a career-worst .184 average last season.

Grisham went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 10-2 win over Atlanta on Sunday.

Grisham hit the second of three homers for San Diego in the victory, slugging a 424-foot solo shot to center field in the fourth inning. He's gone deep three times this season, though all three have been solo shots, so he's picked up just three total RBI on the campaign. Grisham also has a pair of doubles and has scored six runs through 10 games.

Grisham went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday.

With the Padres down three runs in the ninth inning, Grisham narrowed the deficit with his two-out solo shot to right field, though San Diego didn't put any more runs on the board. The outfielder has started the season well, reaching base in all six of the Padres' games thus far. After struggling to a .184/.284/.341 slash line last season, Grisham has looked better to begin 2023, slashing .238/.333/.619 with two homers, two doubles, two RBI and four runs through 24 plate appearances.

Grisham went 1-for-2 with a solo homer and a walk in Sunday's 3-1 victory over Colorado.

After a shaky spring training, Grisham has looked solid to start the regular season, securing three extra-base knocks over the Padres' first four contests. Across 152 games in 2022 (524 PAs), the lefty posted a .184/.284/.341 slash line with 17 home runs and 53 RBI, so he's looking for a bounce-back campaign in 2023.

Grisham is slashing .179/.273/.321 with a home run, a double, five RBI, six runs and a 4:8 BB:K through 11 Cactus League contests.

Grisham began spring play in fine fashion, gathering three hits -- including his lone home run -- over his first four at-bats. He's been ice cold since then, going just 2-for-24. Though spring training stats don't count for much, San Diego surely would like to see Grisham build some positive momentum heading into the regular season after he struggled to a .184/.284/.341 slash line across 524 plate appearances last year. His Gold Glove defense ensures some amount of job security as the team's starting center fielder, but Grisham is a risky fantasy target given his offensive downturn last season.

Grisham signed a one-year, $3.175 million contract with the Padres on Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Grisham batted just .184 in 2022 but did slug 17 home runs and captured his second Gold Glove. His defense will give him some leash, but the Padres might not be as patient with him again in 2023 if he can't bounce back at the plate to some degree.

Grisham will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's Game 3 against the Mets.

Grisham lost his hold on the Padres' everyday center-field gig by middle of September, only to regain it from Jose Azocar over the final week of the regular season. He's maintained the top job thus far in the postseason, going 2-for-6 with a pair of home runs, a walk and two additional runs.

Grisham is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

The lefty-hitting Grisham is on the bench for the third game in a row and for the second time against a right-handed starting pitcher during that stretch. Dating back to Aug. 20, Grisham is slashing just .109/.226/.239 over a span of 21 games, even while the Padres have limited his exposure to left-handed pitching. He looks to have lost hold of his strong-side platoon role in center field to Jose Azocar, who is making his third straight start.

Grisham isn't starting Saturday against Arizona, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Although right-hander Zac Gallen is starting for the Diamondbacks on Saturday, Grisham will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game. Jose Azocar will take over in center field and bat ninth.

Grisham went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a 5-4 extra-inning win over the Dodgers on Friday.

Grisham's only hit of the contest was a big one, as his three-run blast in the second inning gave San Diego an early lead. The long ball extended his career-high mark to 17 on the campaign, though the increased power has come at the expense of a career-worst .191/.296/.360 slash line and 26.3 percent strikeout rate. Grisham has gathered a hit in two straight games after going 0-for-12 across his first five contests in September.

Grisham went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Grisham entered the game after Juan Soto (shoulder) exited. It was a productive appearance off the bench for Grisham, who is up to six stolen bases without getting caught. He also snapped an 0-for-13 skid at the plate that had spanned all of September. The outfielder has a .190/.297/.354 slash line with 16 home runs, 49 RBI and 54 runs scored through 482 plate appearances. If Soto misses time, Grisham would likely see a slight uptick in usage, though the former's injury is just a bruise.

Grisham went deep in the seventh inning, ending his 0-for-12 skid at the plate. It was his first extra-base hit since Aug. 14 and his first homer since a day before that. The outfielder set a new career high with 16 long balls through 126 contests this year. He's added 49 RBI, 52 runs scored and five stolen bases while slashing .195/.299/.365, though he appears to be limited to the strong side of a platoon in center field.

Grisham is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants, according to Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune.

Grisham was held out the last six times the Padres faced a left-hander, and that will be the case again Monday with southpaw Carlos Rodon getting the start for the Giants. Wil Myers will take Grisham's place in center field.

Grisham isn't starting Saturday's game against Kansas City.

Grisham's off day against lefty Kris Bubic means he's now been on the bench against the last five lefties the Padres have faced. Jose Azocar will get the start in center field.

Grisham is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

The righty-hitting Jose Azocar will draw the start in center field in place of the lefty-hitting Grisham, who sits with southpaw Patrick Corbin on the mound for Washington. Since Aug. 1, Grisham is hitting .228 with five home runs, 12 RBI, 11 runs and one stolen base in 20 games.

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

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.

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

The Padres will face a left-hander for the third straight day, and like he did both Saturday and Sunday he 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.

Grisham is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Grisham will be on the bench for the second straight game with Los Angeles sending lefty Tyler Anderson to the mound Sunday. Wil Myers will man center field while Brandon Drury serves as the designated hitter.

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.

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.

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

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.

Grisham (back) is starting Monday against the Tigers.

Grisham sat out Sunday's series finale against the Mets due to a back injury, but he'll return to action following a one-game absence. Over two games since the All-Star break, he's gone 1-for-6 with a solo home run and a strikeout.

Grisham (back) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Grisham was removed from Saturday's game after his back locked up due to a collision at first base, and he'll be out of the lineup for at least one contest. Esteury Ruiz will receive the start Sunday in center field for the Friars.

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 Sunday's contest as a result, according to the Associated Press.

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.

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

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.

Grisham will sit Friday against the Diamondbacks, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Grisham homered Thursday but still owns a poor .192/.295/.334 slash line on the season. He'll hit the bench against lefty Madison Bumgarner, with Esteury Ruiz starting in center field.

Grisham is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

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 a right-handed pitching, if manager Bob Melvin chooses to give the rookie a look as an everyday player.

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

Grisham singled and stole second base in the third inning and added a bunt single in the 10th. It was just the third steal and third attempt for Grisham this season after swiping double-digit bases in 2020 and 2021. With a .191/.288/.333 batting line, the 25-year-old has struggled all season to find his stroke at the plate.

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

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.

Grisham went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Dodgers.

The outfielder is slashing .192/.290/.332 with seven long balls, 29 RBI, 30 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases in 76 contests this season.

Grisham (shoulder) went 0-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Diamondbacks.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Grisham was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup versus the Phillies.

After he was originally penciled in as starting in center field, Grisham was removed from the lineup ahead of Saturday's matchup. The team cited shoulder soreness as the reason for his absence. Jose Azocar will draw the start in center field and bat ninth.

Grisham isn't in the lineup Friday against the Phillies, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Grisham hit .250 with a homer, four runs and two RBI over the last five games and will get a rare day off Friday. Jose Azocar is starting in center field and batting ninth.

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

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.

Grisham went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss against Colorado.

The home run in Friday's game was Grisham's fifth of the season. It gave him a hit in four of his last five games and helped raise his batting average to a dismal .188. Although Grisham has seen his average improve this month thanks to 15 hits in 17 games, the outfielder has also picked up 14 strikeouts during that span. Hopefully his June slash line of .250/.333/.417 is a sign that he has figured something out and will continue to improve going forward.

Grisham went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run in Wednesday's 19-5 win over the Cubs.

After leading off and going 2-for-6 with a run and an RBI in Tuesday's 12-5 win, Grisham returned to his usual spot in the bottom third of the order Wednesday with Jurickson Profar returning from a one-game respite. Grisham continued to produce at the bottom of the lineup and is now sitting on a .264 average in June, but it's unlikely to result in him displacing the even-hotter-hitting Profar atop the order. Per Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune, Grisham will hit eighth and cover center field in Thursday's series finale in Chicago.

Grisham went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rockies.

Grisham's solo shot in the third inning was San Diego's only run in the game until Manny Machado scored the winning run on an error in the 10th frame. Grisham went 0-for-2 with a walk in the nightcap of the twin bill. He is slashing .290/.371/.516 with 10 runs, three RBI and a stolen base over his past nine games.

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

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.

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

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.

Grisham remains on the bench Friday against the Pirates.

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.

Grisham isn't starting Wednesday against the Brewers.

Grisham drew starts in the last two games and went 2-for-8 with a double, an RBI and three strikeouts. Jose Azocar will start in center field and bat ninth.

Grisham is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

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.

Grisham isn't in the lineup Friday against Atlanta.

Grisham has drawn some starts against left-handed pitchers this year, but he'll be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games with southpaw Max Fried on the mound for Atlanta on Friday. Jose Azocar will start in center field and bat ninth.

Grisham is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Cubs, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Grisham started the past 14 games and will head to the bench Tuesday after slashing .154/.279/.231 during that stretch. Jose Azocar will man center field with lefty Wade Miley starting for Chicago.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Grisham will start in center field and bat leadoff Thursday against Atlanta.

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.

Grisham is expected to play center field "pretty much every day" this season, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

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.

Grisham is not starting in Thursday's lineup against the Dodgers.

Grisham has started eight consecutive games and hit .276/.313.483 in that span with one home run, five RBI, three runs scored and two stolen bases. Despite that strong production, he'll hit the bench, with Fernando Tatis shifting to the outfield and Ha-Seong Kim starting at shortstop.

Grisham went 1-for-5 with two RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 11-9 loss to the Padres.

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. He's had an underwhelming month, however, hitting just .185/.233/.309 with two home runs, nine RBI, 10 runs scored, two steals and 5:24 BB:K through 23 games.

Grisham went 1-for-5 with a stolen base Sunday in a loss to Atlanta.

Grisham managed only one hit in the contest, but he did add to his output with a stolen base. The theft was his first since Aug. 22. It has been a rough September for the outfielder, as he is batting a meager .189 with a 5:22 BB:K over 74 at-bats.

Grisham went 1-for-3 with a homer, two RBI and a walk in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Giants.

Grisham enjoyed a productive effort in the extra-inning victory, driving home Fernando Tatis on a first-inning sacrifice fly and then adding a solo homer in the sixth to square the game at 5-5. 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.

Grisham is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

An 0-for-4 performance Saturday lowered Grisham's average to a dismal .054 in his last 10 games, a span during which he's recorded one extra-base hit and three RBI while striking out 14 times. Fernando Tatis is starting in center field for Sunday's series finale.

Grisham is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Angels.

Grisham will sit for the second time in the past three contests, with both games on the bench coming against a left-handed starter. Tommy Pham, Fernando Tatis and Wil Myers will start from left to right in the outfield Tuesday.

Grisham went 3-for-4 with a solo homer in Wednesday's 8-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Grisham notched a pair of singles in Wednesday's contest but his big hit was a solo home run off Luke Weaver in the sixth inning. It's the 24-year-old's first multi-hit game since Aug. 10 and his first three-hit game since June 27. Grisham has also returned to the top of the order over the last three games after the Padres went with Fernando Tatis as their leadoff man for a few games towards the end of August. He's now slashing .255/.346/.439 with 37 extra-base hits, 53 RBI, 48 runs scored, 10 steals and 47:91 BB:K over 422 plate appearances.

Grisham isn't starting Saturday's game against the Angels.

Grisham recorded hits in each of the last three contests but will head to the bench with lefty Jose Suarez on the mound for the Angels. Fernando Tatis will shift to center field while Will Myers starts in right field.

Grisham is not starting Tuesday against the Dodgers and left-hander Julio Urias.

Grisham has just two hits in his last 14 at-bats, and he'll now take a seat with Los Angeles sending a lefty to the mound. Fernando Tatis will start in center field as Wil Myers mans right field Tuesday.

Grisham isn't in the lineup Friday against the Phillies.

Grisham recorded hits in each of his last four appearances, and he went 4-for-13 with a home run, four RBI and two runs during that span. However, he'll get a breather with left-hander Matt Moore starting for the Phillies on Friday. Fernando Tatis will shift to center field while Wil Myers starts in right.

Grisham went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Monday's 6-5 loss to Colorado.

Grisham was 0-for-3 before crushing his game-tying, three-run homer off Daniel Bard in the ninth inning. It was his first homer since Aug. 6 and just his second in the last 32 games. The lefty outfielder is now slashing .258/.353/.452 with 13 home runs and 50 RBI through 327 plate appearances.

Grisham went 1-for-2 with a triple, two RBI, two runs scored and two walks in Monday's win over the Marlins.

Grisham recorded his third triple of the season in the bottom of the eighth inning, scoring both Eric Hosmer and Wil Myers, but that wasn't his lone impact in the game. He also crossed home plate in the fourth, following a sac fly from starting pitcher Joe Musgrove, and he scored on a sac fly from Victor Caratini in the eighth as well. The speedy outfielder, who also has 10 stolen bases on the season, is hitting .261 with a .810 OPS across 349 plate appearances this year.

Grisham is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

With a southpaw (Madison Bumgarner) on the hill for Arizona, the lefty-hitting Grisham will take a seat in the series finale. The righty-hitting Jake Marisnick will get the nod in center field in Grisham's stead, and the two could form a platoon at the position for the foreseeable future.

Grisham went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

The center fielder's two-run shot in the second inning gave San Diego an early lead and snapped a personal 21-game stretch without a long ball. After a rough July in which he batted a paltry .178, Grisham has rebounded with a trio of two-hit efforts through four games in August.

Grisham is out of the lineup Sunday versus the Rockies, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Grisham is 0-for-18 with six strikeouts over his past six games and will receive the day off in the series finale against Colorado. Jake Marisnick, who was acquired from the Cubs on Friday, will debut with his new team in center field.

Grisham isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Grisham went 0-for-7 with three strikeouts across the last two contests. Jurickson Profar will draw the start in center field and bat eighth.

Grisham is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with Atlanta.

Jurickson Profar will join Wil Myers and Tommy Pham in the San Diego outfield while Grisham sits for the first time since June 19, ending a stretch of 24 consecutive starts for the 24-year-old. Grisham will likely check back into the starting nine for the second game of the twin bill.

Grisham went 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in a loss to Washington on Sunday.

Grisham came up with a big hit in the ninth inning, singling to score Jorge Mateo with two outs and the Padres down by a run. He subsequently stole second base but was ultimately stranded at third. Grisham is up to nine steals on the campaign, and he also has 11 home runs, 38 RBI, 37 runs and a .270/.357/.476 slash line.

Grisham went 2-for-5 with two walks, two runs and an RBI in Friday's 24-8 win over the Nationals.

Grisham didn't play the final one and a half innings of the contest, but that didn't prevent him from churning out a useful line prior to his departure. Given that the Padres exploded for a franchise-record run total with Grisham in the leadoff spot, he'll likely stick atop the order for the foreseeable future after her had served as San Diego's No. 5 hitter in the final four games before the All-Star break.

Grisham is leading off Friday against the Nationals, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Tommy Pham has served as the Friars' primary leadoff hitter this season, with Grisham typically batting toward the middle or even bottom of the lineup. Manager Jayce Tingler will shuffle things to start the second half, as Grisham moves to the top of the order and Pham slides down to the fifth spot. It's not yet clear if Tingler plans on having this be a permanent change, and that decision could depend on how the San Diego offense performs Friday.

Grisham went 1-for-3 with a double, run, stolen base, walk and strikeout in a 3-1 loss to Colorado on Sunday.

Grisham helped get San Diego on the board with his second-inning double and subsequent run and later stole second after walking in the fourth. The young outfielder enters the break with a .274/.357/.491 slash line with 11 home runs, 35 runs, 36 RBI and eight stolen bases in 64 games.

Grisham went 2-for-5 with a single, an RBI and a run in Thursday's 9-8 win over Washington.

The Padres fell behind by eight runs early in the contest, but they came storming back with eight runs between the fourth and eighth frames. That set the stage for Grisham to play hero in the ninth after the Nationals opted to intentionally walk Manny Machado with the potential winning run on third base and two outs. Grisham came through with a single to right field to cap the improbable comeback. The base knock also extended Grisham's streak of multi-hit performances to three games. Over that stretch, he is batting .400 (6-for-15) with a homer, three runs and three RBI.

Grisham went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in a loss to the Nationals on Wednesday.

Grisham's ninth inning long ball was a nice present for fantasy managers who roster him, though it came with the Padres down by double digits on the scoreboard. After going 2-for-17 through his first five games in July, Grisham has collected four hits over his past 10 at-bats. He is slashing .274/.360/.502 with 11 homers, 33 RBI and seven stolen bases overall this season.

Grisham went 2-for-3 with two home runs and five RBI Wednesday against the Reds.

Grisham would have had the chance to add to his monster line, but the game was called in the sixth inning due to rain. Even so, he managed to go yard twice in his first three at-bats, highlighted by his grand slam in the fifth inning. Grisham now has 10 home runs on the season, four of which have come since he was activated off the injured list on June 12. Overall, Grisham has maintained a strong .281/.365/.526 line with 30 RBI, 29 runs scored and seven runs scored across 219 plate appearances on the campaign.

Grisham went 3-for-4 with three doubles, one RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over Arizona.

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

He receives a day off following a 1-for-5, two-strikeout performance Friday night. In seven games since returning from the injured list, Grisham has hit .160 with two homers and seven RBI. Jurickson Profar will start in center field and bat seventh in Grisham's stead Saturday.

Grisham went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 8-7 loss to Colorado.

Grisham knocked a two-run homer off Colorado starter Kyle Freeland in the third inning. The outfielder added a sacrifice fly to tie the game at 7-7 in the top of the ninth. Prior to Wednesday, Grisham had gone just 1-for-12 in four games since he returned from a heel injury. The 24-year-old is slashing .289/.370/.520 with eight homers, 19 RBI, 25 runs scored and seven stolen bases across 172 plate appearances this year.

Grisham went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies.

San Diego entered the ninth inning trailing 3-0 before Grisham took Daniel Bard deep for a two-run shot but it wasn't enough to complete the comeback. It was the 24-year-old's seventh long ball of the year and his first since returning from the injured list Saturday. Grisham is slashing .290/.372/.510 with 16 extra-base hits and 16 RBI through 164 plate appearances.

Grisham is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Grisham will head to the bench in what's likely a pre-planned maintenance after he returned from a heel injury to start in center field in Saturday's 4-1 loss. The 24-year-old slotted into the two hole in his first game with the Padres since May 21, going 0-for-3 with a walk. Jorge Mateo will cover center field Sunday while Grisham rests.

Grisham (heel) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.

Padres manager Jayce Tingler had previously suggested that Grisham was likely to return Sunday or early next week, but the team instead opted to get him back into the lineup -- he'll start in center field and bat second -- Saturday. Brian O'Grady was optioned to Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move.

Grisham (heel) could return as soon as Sunday or Monday, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Grisham has missed three weeks with a bruised left heel despite at one point looking set to return after a minimum-length stay on the injured list. He looks good in his first rehab game Thursday, doubling and stealing a base, and it doesn't appear as though he'll need many more before he's cleared to return.

Grisham (heel) went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in a minor-league rehab appearance with Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.

The contest was Grisham's first since going on the injured list with a bruised left heel in late May. Given the fact that he successfully tested the heel on his first-inning stolen base, the outfielder appears to be able to run without issue. He should be back with the big club shortly.

Grisham (heel) reported to Triple-A El Paso for a rehab assignment and is batting leadoff and playing center field Thursday, El Paso broadcaster Tim Hagerty reports.

The 24-year-old progressed to running the bases Wednesday, which was apparently one of the final hurdles before being cleared for a rehab assignment. Grisham last saw game action May 21 before going down with bruised left heel, and he shouldn't require a lengthy stint in the minors before rejoining the Padres.

Grisham (heel) ran the bases at Petco Park on Wednesday as he prepares for an upcoming rehab assignment, Annie Heilbrunn of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

In addition to running the bases aggressively Wednesday, the outfielder has been hitting regularly in the cage and took on-field batting practice Tuesday, according to AJ Cassavell of MLB.com. As such, all signs are pointing to Grisham feeling well enough to kick off his rehab assignment with Triple-A El Paso soon, as previously planned. He could return to the Padres lineup within a matter of days, depending on how he feels after logging minor-league game action.

Grisham (heel) will start his rehab assignment with Triple-A El Paso in the next couple days, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Jayce Tingler said he's unsure how long a rehab assignment Grisham will require, but it may be a short one if he feels good. Once activated, the 24-year-old should return to being the Padres' everyday center fielder and top-of-the-order power bat.

Grisham (heel) will need a rehab assignment before returning from the injured list, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Reports from earlier in the week indicated Grisham had a chance to return from the injured list when first eligible Friday. That didn't happen, and while he was on the field going through sprints prior to Saturday's game against the Mets, his return still isn't imminent. Depending on when exactly his rehab assignment begins, he's likely tracking towards a return sometime in the middle of next week.

Grisham (heel) is not back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets despite being eligible to return from the injured list.

Grisham has been working out for the past several days and appeared set to return from the injured list when first eligible, but he evidently needs at least one more day before he's ready to go. It's still possible he gets activated prior to the start of the game, but he'll be on the bench if that happens. Jurickson Profar will make another start in center field Friday.

Grisham (heel) was spotted taking batting practice prior to the Padres' game Wednesday against the Cubs, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Since landing on the injured list last week with a left heel contusion, Grisham has felt well enough to take part in on-field drills nearly every day. The Padres haven't determined whether to send him out for a one-game minor-league rehab assignment Thursday, but regardless, the outfielder appears poised to come off the IL when first eligible Friday.

Grisham's (heel) placement on the injury list wasn't backdated, so he's not eligible to return to the active roster until Friday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Grisham hasn't played since May 21, but the Padres' decision to bring Brian O'Grady back to the big club early after being optioned to Triple-A disallows them from backdating the start of Grisham's IL stint. According to the Associated Press, the outfielder has increased his running and could taking batting practice Wednesday, so it seems likely that he'll return when eligible Friday.

Grisham (heel) has done extensive work on the field every day since going on the IL and is expected to return on Tuesday, assuming that the running he does Monday in Chicago goes well, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Everything is on track for a minimum stay for Grisham. The Padres play a day game at Wrigley Field on Monday, so hopefully we'll have some news on Grisham's status before the game in order to make our roster decisions for the week.

Grisham (heel) landed on the 10-day injured list Monday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Grisham hadn't played since exiting Friday's game against the Mariners with a bruised heel. He's now already onto his second trip to the injured list of the season, as he missed the start of the year with a hamstring strain, but he's been excellent when available, hitting .301 with six homers and seven steals in 36 games. Brian O'Grady will be called up to take his place on the roster.

Grisham (heel) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

The Padres will be without Grisham and Manny Machado (shoulder) for the series finale, but both are being viewed as day-to-day heading into the upcoming week. Jurickson Profar will cover center field in place of Grisham, who suffered a bruised heel in the Padres' 16-1 win in Friday's series opener with the Mariners.

Grisham will sit Saturday against Seattle after exiting Friday's game with a bruised heel.

The issue doesn't appear to be a major one, with manager Jayce Tingler suggesting Grisham could be in the lineup had the injury happened during a different part of the season. Jorge Mateo will start in center field in his absence.

Grisham was replaced in the fifth inning of Friday's 16-1 win over Seattle due to a heel bruise, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. He went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs in the contest.

Grisham led off the bottom of the first inning with a homer to right field and got on base in both of his remaining trips to the plate. However, he was replaced in center field by Jorge Mateo in the fifth frame, and it was later revealed that Grisham was suffering from a bruised heel. The blowout nature of the game -- San Diego was up by seven runs at the time of Grisham's departure -- may have contributed to the decision to pull him from the contest, and manager Jayce Tingler was noncommittal about whether Grisham would play Saturday. As such, he should be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Grisham went 1-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's victory over St. Louis.

Grisham provided some breathing room for San Diego in the sixth inning, doubling in Patrick Kivlehan to extend the Padres' lead to two runs. He also swiped second base after reaching on a fielder's choice in the eighth, though the team was unable to cash him in. Grisham is tied for sixth in baseball with seven steals on the season.

Grisham went 3-for-5 and scored a run in Saturday's 13-3 rout of the Cardinals.

The center fielder batted atop the Padres' lineup and registered his first three-hit game of the season, pushing his current hit streak to six.

The Padres scratched Grisham from the lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Dodgers due to left quadriceps tightness.

Sidelined to begin the season due to a hamstring injury, Grisham looks to have picked up another injury to his lower half during Saturday's 2-0 loss. Though Grisham played all nine innings of the contest and went 1-for-3 with a walk and his second stolen base of the season, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune notes that the outfielder tweaked his quad at some point before the end of the game. Jorge Mateo was added to Sunday's lineup as a replacement for Grisham in center field.

Grisham went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and a walk in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Rangers.

In Grisham's second game back from the injured list, he hammered his first home run of the season off Wes Benjamin in the seventh inning. The outfielder has multiple hits in back-to-back games and plays a pivotal role in leading off for the Padres. Grisham became a duel power-speed threat after hitting 10 homers and swiping 10 bags in 59 games in 2020.

Grisham went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored Friday in a 3-0 victory over Texas.

The big story after the contest was, of course, Joe Musgrove throwing the first no-hitter in franchise history for the Padres, but Grisham's return was an important secondary headline for a club that has been only middle-of-the-pack offensively in the early going. As expected, Grisham led off for San Diego, and he scored one of the team's three runs against the Rangers. The 24-year-old is likely to hit atop the order and play center field on a near-everyday basis moving forward.

Grisham (hamstring) was activated from the injured list and is leading off Friday against the Rangers.

It had been reported that Grisham was likely to return Friday, and now we have confirmation. With righty Kohei Arihara on the hill for Texas, Grisham takes his customary place atop the lineup, although he may see a lower placement or a spot on the bench against lefties.

The Padres are expected to activate Grisham (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's series opener versus the Rangers, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

After his strained left hamstring responded well to simulated-game action over the weekend, Grisham is taking batting practice on the field prior to Wednesday's game against the Giants in what likely marks a final test of his health before the Padres sign off on his return from the IL. Once activated, Grisham could settle in as the Padres' leadoff man, providing a nice boost to an offense that recently lost Fernando Tatis (shoulder) to the 10-day IL.

Grisham (hamstring) took five at-bats in a sim game Friday and should be able to return for the Padres' series against Texas next weekend, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Grisham went down with a Grade 1 hamstring strain during a Cactus League contest March 11 and was consequently placed on the 10-day IL to open the campaign. The 24-year-old appears to be making significant progress in his recovery and will likely come off the injured list shortly after he is eligible April 8. That would set him up to play in the Padres' upcoming three-game series in Texas. Grisham will presumably slot in as the team's leadoff hitter and starting center fielder upon his return.

Padres manager Jayce Tingler said Monday that Grisham (hamstring) would open the season on the 10-day injured list, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Though Grisham has since resumed participating in simulated games since suffering a Grade 1 hamstring strain March 11, he won't be able to make it back in the Padres' Cactus League lineup before the end of the spring season. As a result, Grisham will be given some time off while he fully ramps up, but he doesn't look like he'll be sidelined for much longer than the 10-day minimum. Grisham's absence to begin the season should allow Jake Cronenworth and/or Jurickson Profar to pick up more work in left field, while Tommy Pham shifts over to center.

Grisham (hamstring) took part in a simulated game Tuesday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Grisham (hamstring) was able to take some swings in a batting cage Tuesday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Outfield and baserunning drills will provide a better gauge of where Grisham stands in his recovery from a strained hamstring, but it's at least encouraging that he hasn't been shut down from baseball activities entirely. The Padres remain optimistic that Grisham will be ready to go for Opening Day.

Grisham was diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain Friday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Grisham suffered the injury while running out a groundout Thursday against Cleveland. He escaped with merely the mildest category of strain, and the Padres are hopeful that he'll only miss a week. If that's the case, he should still have time to get back up to full speed by Opening Day, but even a minor setback could place that in some doubt.

Grisham suffered a minor hamstring strain during Thursday's spring game against Cleveland, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

He also leads the club with five runs scored in exhibition action. Grisham is penciled as the Padres' everyday center fielder following last season's strong debut campaign with the club.

Grisham was among the last of the Padres' position players to report to camp due to the Texas winter storm, Annie Heilbrunn of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Grisham's preparation for the campaign is unlikely to be affected by his slightly late arrival to spring training, and he is now with the team and going through the usual arrival process. He figures to slot in as the team's regular center fielder in 2021 and should hit near the top of the lineup against right-handers.

Grisham is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Grisham wore the Golden Sombrero on Saturday after hitting a walkoff homer Friday night. Perhaps manager Jayce Tingler felt Grisham was pressing a bit and needed a day off heading into the postseason. Regardless, Jurickson Profar will man center field and bat ninth against lefty Drew Smyly.

Grisham went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Friday's 6-5 win over the Giants.

Grisham was San Diego's hero in Game 2 of the twin bill Friday against the Padres, hitting a three-run shot off reliever Sam Coonrod to give the Padres a comeback win against their division rivals.

Grisham will likely be included in the Padres' lineup for the season opener Friday against the Diamondbacks, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Grisham is locked in as everyday player against right-handed pitching, and though the 23-year-old may occasionally find himself on the bench against select lefties, Cassavell believes Grisham has made a strong enough of an impression between spring training and summer camp to crack the starting nine Friday versus southpaw Madison Bumgarner. The Padres face another lefty in the second game of the series (Robbie Ray), so if San Diego manager Jayce Tingler is reluctant to give Grisham back-to-back starts against southpaws, Edward Olivares could enter the lineup in Grisham's stead.

Grisham's solid spring has him poised to be the Padres' regular center fielder, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

San Diego entered Cactus League play with a glaring need in center field following the trade of Manuel Margot to Tampa Bay in early February. Grisham appears to have taken control of the position with a strong spring in which he slashed .355/.394/.484 with a home run, double and stolen base while impressing defensively. It bears mentioning that Grisham played only 21 games in center field with Milwaukee last season, so he'll need to carry his Cactus League success into the regular season in order to maintain a starting role.

Grisham is being considered for a non-platoon spot as the Padres' center fielder, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

With the offseason trade of Manuel Margot, the center field position is up for grabs in San Diego. Though the Padres have a number of options to fill the role and could take a platoon approach, Grisham has hit well enough against lefties in the minors to be worth a look as an everyday starter. Of course, he'll need to prove that he can hit southpaws at the major-league level after batting only .219 against them last season.
