Braves' Vaughn Grissom: Loses grip on everyday role

Grissom is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Washington, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

For the third game in a row, the rookie finds himself on the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher, an indication that manager Brian Snitker views Grissom as a bench player. Orlando Arcia will pick up another start at the keystone at the expense of Grissom, who has slashed .163/.250/.163 with a 29.2 percent strikeout rate over his last 14 games.
