Grissom will start at first base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game versus the Guardians.
Zach Neto, who batted leadoff in each of the Angels' first 43 games this season, has been slumping and will bat sixth Wednesday. Grissom hit his second home run of the season in Tuesday's loss to Cleveland and sports a .922 OPS over his last five contests. It remains to be seen if this new arrangement will stick versus right-handed pitching -- the Angels are facing lefty Parker Messick on Wednesday -- but Grissom might get a chance to stake claim of the leadoff spot while Neto tries to snap out of his funk.
