  06/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Athletics acquired Groshans from the Yankees on Sunday in exchange for first baseman J.D. Davis and cash considerations. After beginning the season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre, Groshans was moved in late April Double-A Somerset, with whom he was slashing .234/.302/.316 with no home runs or stolen bases across 121 plate appearances. The 23-year-old Groshans hasn't seen major-league action since 2022 and will now move on to the fourth organization of his career.

• Marlins' Jordan Groshans: Battling sore shoulder

  03/11/2023 • By RotoWire

  Groshans is dealing with a sore shoulder, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Groshans made a pair of diving plays Friday and visited a doctor about his shoulder the next day. While that may not bode well, a specific diagnosis beyond "soreness" has yet to emerge. Groshans could win a bench spot this spring after appearing in 17 big-league games last season, though the recent addition of Yuli Gurriel could hurt his chances.

• Marlins' Jordan Groshans: Getting work at first base

  03/04/2023 • By RotoWire

  Groshans has been getting regular work at first base during Grapefruit League games to begin spring training, improving his odds of breaking camp on the 26-man roster, Jordan McPherson of The Miami Herald reports. The Marlins don't have an established backup to Garrett Cooper at first base, so if Groshans shows he can handle the position, he could work his way into a bench role to begin the season. The 23-year-old's prospect status has dimmed the last couple of years as his projected power has never materialized, but after being acquired from the Blue Jays at the trade deadline last year, he batted a solid .262 through his first 17 big-league games. Groshans came up through Toronto's system as a shortstop, and he could wind up filling a multi-position utility role in Miami.
