2024 Fantasy Outlook
Grichuk missed a few weeks in April but otherwise hit well in 64 games for the Rockies last season with a .308/.365/.496 slash line, but he struggled to a .676 OPS in 54 contests after being shipped to the Angels. His strikeout and walk rates were both slightly better than his career figures, and overall he rebounded with his best wRC+ (100) since 2020. He had a .694 OPS against right-handed pitchers compared to a .995 OPS versus lefties, and after signing with the Diamondbacks in February, Grichuk appears headed for a short-side platoon role. However, his recovery from January surgery to remove bone spurs from his right ankle could delay his start to the season. Read Past Outlooks
Not running bases yet
Grichuk (ankle) took live batting practice Friday but has not yet been cleared to run the bases, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Grichuk is recovering from January surgery to remove bone spurs from his right ankle. He's ramping things up slowly but surely and the Diamondbacks have not yet ruled him out for Opening Day, but it's going to be close. Once healthy, Grichuk is expected to see regular starts in the outfield against left-handed pitching.

Grichuk was traded from Toronto to Colorado after the end of the lockout in March, but he didn't take advantage of having half his games at Coors Field as he finished 2022 with an 88 wRC+. He appeared in 141 games during his first year with the Rockies but failed to provide much value at the plate or in the field. Grichuk, who will turn 32 years old in August, is entering his final year under contract and is in dire need of a rebound in 2023 after back-to-back down seasons. Grichuk should open spring training with a good chance to retain a starting job, but if his struggles continue it wouldn't be surprising to see the Rockies turn to one of their younger outfield options.
