MRI reveales no tear for left-hander; Tatis won't play with rest of regulars on Saturday after playing previous two days
“There’s been days that it hasn’t been the same,” Grisham said. “That was expected, and that’s what I wanted to know — how can I come back from that? So I feel like so far it’s been really good.”
He spoke after a 2-for-3 game Thursday in which he homered and walked. His single on the first pitch of the game stopped a hitless streak at 14 at-bats.Grisham began this spring 5-for-14 and was, perhaps most notably, attacking pitches early in counts. Even his strikeouts were less docile than so many in 2022, when he struck out looking more than any other player in the major leagues.
While noting how meaningless spring statistics are, Grisham spoke during that early hot streak about hisrather than falling into out-thinking himself as he often did last season. He is annually among the most disciplined batters in the majors and did hit 17 home runs in ’22, but he sank to a .184 batting average and .284 on-base percentage by slipping from disciplined to passive in so many plate appearances.
“I’m notoriously slow, and everybody knows that,” he said. “So at first, I was really worried about it. But getting into it, I like it now. It kind of just keeps you locked in on a pitch-to-pitch basis. Makes the games quicker. I think everybody’s a fan of that.”started a second straight game in right field on Friday, the first time he has done so this spring. He previously played two straight games but served as a designated hitter in the second of those.
He will not start Saturday’s game against the Brewers, meaning he won’t be in the same lineup as most of the team’s other regulars.
