Athletics' Robbie Grossman: Moves to bench

Grossman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Grossman will take a seat in the series finale while lefty masher Chad Pinder (career 124 wRC+ versus southpaws) enters the lineup in the outfield with lefty Gregory Soto on the hill for Detroit. Though he's riding a four-game hitting streak, Grossman is batting just .226 on the season and doesn't offer much power even when things are going well at the plate.
