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 of Jake Irvin in the second inning before picking up his first stolen base of the year in the sixth. Perhaps Thursday's performance will get him back on track -- he'd gone just 4-for-46 with a .353 OPS over 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.

Padres' Trent Grisham: Knocks in four runs Thursday
Rotowire
Grisham went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk and four RBI in a 7-5 win against the Diamondbacks on Thursday.
Grisham entered the contest with just five RBI on the campaign despite having hit four homers. He nearly doubled his RBI total Thursday without going deep, plating a pair of runners with a 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.

Padres' Trent Grisham: Knocks fourth long ball
Rotowire
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 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.

Padres' Trent Grisham: Swats third homer
Rotowire
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.

Padres' Trent Grisham: Swats second long ball
Rotowire
Grisham went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
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.

Padres' Trent Grisham: Hits first homer of season
Rotowire
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.

Padres' Trent Grisham: Uneven results at plate this spring
Rotowire
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.

Padres' Trent Grisham: Inks one-year deal
Rotowire
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.

Padres' Trent Grisham: Takes control of center field
Rotowire
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 in the 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.

Padres' Trent Grisham: Losing work to Azocar
Rotowire
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 right-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.
