Grichuk is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports. Though he'll cede his spot in the outfield to Yonathan Daza in the series finale, Grichuk still looks poised to hold down a near-everyday role in the Colorado outfield even after Kris Bryant made his return from the 10-day injured list Monday. Grichuk started in each of the Rockies' five games following Bryant's return to the lineup, going 6-for-18 with a solo home run, three doubles and two additional runs.

Grichuk went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 7-4 win over the Dodgers on Tuesday. Grichuk got off to a hot start in his new Colorado home after being traded for Raimel Tapia during spring training, but he has since cooled off. Even with the home run off Clayton Kershaw, Grichuk only has a .225/.276/.388 slash line in June. The 30-year-old's 2022 numbers are fairly consistent with his career production to date, and the combination of his .293 OBP combined and 26.6% strikeout rate suggest that his ceiling may have already been reached.

Grichuk went 2-for-3 with two doubles and a run scored Monday against the Dodgers. Grichuk delivered a two-out double in the second inning and came around to score. He struggled mightily to begin June, hitting only .205 with two doubles across his first 16 starts. However, his power has returned a bit of late, as he has four extra-base hits -- including a pair of homers -- in his last eight games. Overall, Grichuk has maintained only a 79 wRC+ and .301 wOBA across 237 plate appearances on the campaign.

Grichuk has usually enjoyed a power surge by now, but his numbers are still lagging in his first year with the Rockies. A full week at home, where he's batting about 75 points higher than on the road, could get the ball rolling.

Grichuk is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Minnesota, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports. Grichuk has a .205/.263/.315 slash line in June and will head to the bench Sunday for the second time in the past four games. Yonathan Daza will man center field and bat second in the series finale versus the Twins.
