Randal Grichuk: Declines mutual option
Grichuk has declined his end of a $6 million mutual option for 2025, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
He'll receive a $1.5 million buyout from Arizona and is now a free agent. Grichuk thrived in a short-side platoon role with the Diamondbacks in 2024, slashing .291/.348/.528 with 12 homers in 106 games, which included a .914 OPS versus left-handed pitching. The 33-year-old might be able to land a multi-year contract this winter after his strong season.

Grichuk (lower body) will start at designated hitter and bat third in Wednesday's game versus the Rockies.

The righty-hitting Grichuk is slashing .305/.370/.494 against lefties this season.

Grichuk (lower body) is expected to be available off the bench for Monday's game against the Rockies, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Diamondbacks' Randal Grichuk: Scratched from Sunday's lineup
Grichuk was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers due to lower-body tightness, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Grichuk was scheduled to start in left field and bat third, but the back issue will instead keep him out of the lineup. The veteran outfielder is expected to be available off the bench, so he doesn't appear to be dealing with a serious injury. Pavin Smith is instead starting in left field for Arizona.

Diamondbacks' Randal Grichuk: Three RBI off bench
Grichuk went 2-for-2 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 15-8 loss to the Brewers.
Grichuk entered the game as a defensive replacement after the Brewers established a 13-0 lead. He was able to provide a bit of a spark for Arizona, but it was far too late to make a difference. Grichuk has four multi-hit efforts, five homers and 13 RBI over 11 games in September despite filling a part-time role. He's at a .285/.341/.502 slash line with 10 homers, 40 RBI, 35 runs scored and no stolen bases over 258 plate appearances this year.

Diamondbacks' Randal Grichuk: Homers early in win
Grichuk went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 14-4 win over Texas.
Grichuk started against a left-hander and showed immediately why he was in the lineup. His two-run homer in the first inning was the third of three consecutive extra-base hits for Arizona. Grichuk later capped the scoring with a run-producing double in the eighth, the last of the Diamondbacks' 13 extra-base hits, which tied a franchise record. The 32-year-old has adjusted well to a part-time gig, posting an .821 OPS over 256 plate appearances -- the fewest PAs since his rookie year of 2014 (other than the pandemic-shortened 2020).

Diamondbacks' Randal Grichuk: Stuck in short-side platoon role
Grichuk is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
Grichuk started in left field in each of the last three games, with the Diamondbacks facing left-handed starting pitchers on all occasions. He's been on the bench, however, for each of the Diamondbacks' three matchups with right-handed pitchers since Lourdes Gurriel (calf) landed on the injured list Tuesday. Grichuk looks as though he'll be ticketed for the short side of a platoon in left field with Pavin Smith until Gurriel returns from the IL.

Diamondbacks' Randal Grichuk: Two homers Tuesday
Grichuk went 3-for-5 with two homers, three RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Giants.
Grichuk is making a case for manager Torey Lovullo to keep him in the lineup even against righties with Lourdes Gurriel (calf) landing on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Over his last five games, Grichuk is 9-for-15 with four homers and nine RBI while raising his OPS nearly 100 points from .735 to .828. Tuesday's effort was his first multi-homer game since Sept. 6, 2022 and he's doubled his season home run total over this hot stretch. For the year, Grichuk is slashing .284/.342/.486 with 26 extra-base hits, 34 RBI, 32 runs and a 17:41 BB:K in 240 plate appearances.

Diamondbacks' Randal Grichuk: Muscles up in win
Grichuk went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run, a double, an additional RBI and three total runs scored in Sunday's 14-3 win over the Dodgers.

His homer capped off an eight-run second inning, and he tacked on an RBI single in the eighth. The veteran outfielder hit a paltry .243 over 16 games in last month, but three of his six homers this year have come since the start of August. He's now at a .274/.330/.453 slash line with 31 RBI, 28 runs scored, 16 doubles, two triples and no stolen bases over 233 plate appearances while filling a short-side platoon role.

Diamondbacks' Randal Grichuk: Continues to sit vs. righties
Grichuk is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Grichuk drew starts in all three games of the Diamondbacks' series with the Nationals to close out July, though Washington brought southpaws to the hill for each of those contests. With the Pirates starting three right-handers (Luis Ortiz, Mitch Keller and Paul Skenes), Grichuk has been on the bench for each contest in Pittsburgh and still looks to be locked into a short-side platoon role.
