Angels' Vaughn Grissom: May be headed for platoon role
Grissom is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Grissom will be excluded from the starting nine for the third time in four games, with each of those absences coming against right-handed pitching. With Jorge Soler (oblique) making an unexpected return from the injured list Monday, the Angels now have one fewer spot in the lineup available, and Grissom looks like he could find himself on the bench more often than not. Grissom could end up settling into the short side of a platoon with either Nolan Schanuel or Donovan Walton, the latter of whom has produced a .927 OPS since getting called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on May 22 to earn himself a steady role.

Angels' Vaughn Grissom: Swinging bat again
Grissom (oblique) has been taking light swings and participating in light baseball activities, per MLB.com.
Grissom hasn't played since June 5, and he landed on the IL with a left oblique strain June 8. Given the nature of his injury, it's a promising sign that he's now able to swing a bat, albeit not at full capacity. It's not yet clear how long Grissom will be sidelined, though it seems likely that he'll need more than a minimum stay on the injured list.

Grissom went 3-for-5 with a home run and six RBI in Tuesday's 10-6 win over the Tigers.

Angels' Vaughn Grissom: Elevated to leadoff spot
Grissom will start at first base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game versus the Guardians.
Zach Neto, who batted leadoff in each of the Angels' first 43 games this season, has been slumping and will bat sixth Wednesday. Grissom hit his second home run of the season in Tuesday's loss to Cleveland and sports a .922 OPS over his last five contests. It remains to be seen if this new arrangement will stick versus right-handed pitching -- the Angels are facing lefty Parker Messick on Wednesday -- but Grissom might get a chance to stake claim of the leadoff spot while Neto tries to snap out of his funk.

Angels' Vaughn Grissom: Lofts second homer
Grissom went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians.

It was Grissom's second homer of the season, and while he's also seen occasional action at first base and third base, he's emerged as the primary second baseman for the Halos since joining the big-league roster a month ago. Over his last 16 contests, Grissom is slashing .278/.310/.500 with six doubles, two long balls, four runs and nine RBI.
