Padres' Trent Grisham: Productive in Friday's win
Rotowire
Grisham went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, two runs and a stolen base in Friday's 11-2 win over the Astros.
Grisham got things done in a variety of ways in the blowout victory. He's collected three multi-hit efforts over his first six games in September after ending August in an 0-for-26 slump. The outfielder is up to a .205/.315/.364 slash line with 13 homers, 14 steals, 46 RBI and 60 runs scored through 136 contests. He remains a regular in the lineup, though he's hit at the bottom of the order for a majority of the season.

Padres' Trent Grisham: Notches 13th steal in two-hit game
Rotowire
Grisham went 2-for-4 with a run, an RBI and a stolen base against the Phillies in Monday's loss.
Grisham just finished a rough August during which he slashed .156/.270/.208 with a 36.3 percent strikeout rate over 27 contests. September has started a bit more favorably for him, as he's notched two multi-hit performances thus far while going 4-for-10 through three games. Grisham's defense and power/speed potential have helped keep him in a near-everyday role in center field for the Padres, though his .203/.314/.356 slash line and 29.3 percent strikeout rate on the campaign are hardly the stuff of fantasy greatness.

Padres' Trent Grisham: Cranks homer in win
Rotowire
Grisham went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Orioles.
Grisham got a day off Tuesday to reset amid a 1-for-20 slump over his last six games, and it appears to have done him some good. The outfielder went deep in the seventh inning Wednesday to pad the Padres' lead to 4-2. For the season, he's up to 12 homers, 12 stolen bases, 39 RBI, 55 runs scored and a .211/.317/.381 slash line through 116 games in a near-everyday role.

Padres' Trent Grisham: Swats game-tying homer
Rotowire
Grisham went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Rockies.
Grisham's ninth-inning blast forced an extra inning, but the Rockies walked it off in the 10th. The outfielder has faded late in July, going 4-for-34 over his last 11 contests. He's now at a .208/.320/.389 slash line with 11 home runs, 11 stolen bases, 33 RBI and 48 runs scored through 103 games this season. Despite the lackluster hitting, he remains a near-everyday player in center field.

Padres' Trent Grisham: Swipes 11th bag
Rotowire
Grisham went 1-for-3 with a run and a stolen base in a 5-3 win against the Rangers on Sunday.
Grisham helped generate a key insurance run in the eighth inning, lacing a leadoff single, swiping second base and coming around to score on a Fernando Tatis Jr. single. It was a much-needed positive performance for Grisham, as he came into the contest having gone 1-for-26 over his previous eight games. The center fielder came out of the All-Star break swinging a hot bat but has regressed since, lowering his season batting average back down to a paltry .207, albeit with a strong 13.4 percent walk rate.

Padres' Trent Grisham: Plates four runs during twin bill
Rotowire
Grisham went 2-for-7 with a home run, a walk and four RBI across both games of Saturday's doubleheader versus Philadelphia.
Grisham has been picking up his production of late, and he continued that surge with a three-run homer in his opening plate appearance of the twin bill. The outfielder added an RBI single in Game 2 to extend his modest hitting streak to six games. During that stretch, Grisham is slashing .350/.435/.650 with Saturday's homer, three doubles, seven RBI and one steal.

Padres' Trent Grisham: Reaches three times Friday
Rotowire
Grisham went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk, two runs and a stolen base against the Phillies in an 8-3 win Friday.
Grisham was productive out of the No. 9 spot in the lineup, reaching base three times and twice scoring on a teammate's home run. After a slow start to the campaign, Grisham has come alive at the plate over the past three-plus weeks, slashing .295/.403/.508 with two homers, five doubles, eight RBI, 12 runs and four steals over his past 19 games. He's still striking out at a troublesome 27.4 percent clip over that span, however.

Padres' Trent Grisham: Perking up at plate
Rotowire
Grisham went 1-for-3 with a triple, a walk, an RBI, a stolen base and three runs scored in Saturday's 12-5 win against the Reds.
Grisham has largely struggled this season, but he's been hot of late, putting together a five-game hitting streak during which he's tallied a double, a triple, two homers, a stolen base, four RBI and five runs. The center fielder spent some time early in the season hitting atop the order, but he's batted in the No. 8 or No. 9 slot in all 22 games he's played in since June 7. Despite the recent strong stretch, Grisham's season slash line still sits at a disappointing .212/.321/.388, and he's added eight homers, 23 RBI, 35 runs and eight thefts over 297 plate appearances.

Padres' Trent Grisham: Nabs another steal
Rotowire
Grisham went 0-for-1 with a walk, a run and a stolen base Sunday in a loss to the Nationals.
Grisham scored San Diego's first run in the fifth inning, reaching first base on a fielder's choice, stealing second and crossing the plate on a Fernando Tatis single. However, Grisham was removed for pinch hitter Gary Sanchez in the bottom of the sixth with two outs and the bases loaded. Washington had brought in southpaw Joe La Sora for that critical moment, and manager Bob Melvin preferred the strikeout-prone Sanchez (who, indeed, struck out) to the lefty Grisham. That was a curious decision given that Grisham has hit lefties well this season, batting .286 with as many homers (three) in 63 at-bats as he has against right-handers in 174 at-bats.

Padres' Trent Grisham: Registers fifth steal
Rotowire
Grisham went 1-for-2 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Rays.
Grisham had a solid game from the bottom of the order. He snapped an eight-game skid without a walk while hitting safely for the seventh time in his last nine contests. The outfielder has gone just 7-for-31 (.226) in that span, but it's an improvement on his .195 batting average for the season. Grisham has added five steals, six home runs, 17 RBI, 27 runs scored and 17 doubles through 67 games.

Padres' Trent Grisham: Picks up fourth steal
Rotowire
Grisham went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Guardians.
Grisham has hit safely in his last four games, going 4-for-15 with a home run and a double in that span. The outfielder has also picked up all four of his steals this season since May 25. He's at a .196/.313/.362 slash line with six homers, 16 RBI, 24 runs scored and 15 doubles through 62 contests as the Padres' primary center fielder. Getting his bat going more consistently would help him solidify his place in the lineup.
