Rangers' Robbie Grossman: Placed on waivers
The Texas Rangers placed Robbie Grossman on waivers Thursday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.Since being traded from the White Sox to the Rangers in May, Grossman has slashed .235/.336/.353 with three homers and 10 RBI across 119 plate appearances. However, he's failed to receive regular playing time lately and is now available for any team that needs outfield/DH depth for the final month of the season. If the 34-year-old passes through waivers unclaimed, he would keep his spot on the Rangers.

Rangers' Robbie Grossman: Playing-time outlook worsens
Robbie Grossman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.Grossman had started in three of the Texas Rangers' last four games and has an active five-game hitting streak going, but his playing time is expected to become more sparse moving forward. Josh Jung (wrist) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Monday, and he and Josh Smith could end up serving as the Rangers' primary options at designated hitter moving forward while the other player makes starts at third base. Grossman remains an option in left field and right field, but Wyatt Langford and Adolis Garcia look to be manager Bruce Bochy's preferred starters at those two respective positions.

Rangers' Robbie Grossman: Logs two hits as DH
Robbie Grossman started at designated hitter and went 2-for-4 in Thursday's 2-1 win over the White Sox.Grossman got the start at DH, which has been a revolving door for the Texas Rangers in 2024. Justin Foscue was given a four-game run after being called up last weekend, but he went 1-for-13 with seven strikeouts and hasn't been seen since Tuesday. It's been Grossman and Travis Jankowski the last two days. Eventually, when third baseman Josh Jung (wrist) is ready to return, Josh Smith will likely settle in as the primary DH.

Rangers' Robbie Grossman: Slugs homer in blowout win
Robbie Grossman went 1-for-1 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional RBI in Sunday's 13-2 win over the Rays.Grossman got into a game for the first time in July with an appearance off the bench in the blowout win. He delivered the Texas Rangers' last two runs with a solo shot in the seventh inning and a bases-loaded walk in the eighth. While Grossman is 9-for-30 (.300) over his last 10 games, it's a span dating back to June 11. He's often been limited to a short-side platoon role despite being a switch hitter, and his extended absence from the lineup can be explained by the Rangers facing a stretch of right-handed starting pitchers over the last six games. The outfielder is slashing just .216/.331/.306 over 160 plate appearances between the Rangers and the White Sox this year. The Rangers are expected to face three more righties during their series against the Angels from Monday to Wednesday, so expect more time on the bench for Grossman.

Rangers' Robbie Grossman: Makes third straight start
Robbie Grossman started at designated hitter and went 0-for-3 in Monday's 2-1 loss to Detroit.Grossman served as the starting DH for a third straight game, all against lefties, and is 3-for-10 with a double and three RBI during that stretch. His elevation to the starting lineup coincides with Ezequiel Duran replacing the lefty-hitting Nathaniel Lowe at first base in those three contests, which suggests a strategic change against left-handers. The Texas Rangers have been middle-of-the-pack against lefties this season (.242 average, 16th).
