Hitting bench Sunday
Grissom is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Analyse
Grissom started the previous seven games and will hit the bench after going 5-for-27 with a double and a homer during that span. Adam Frazier will step in at the keystone and bat ninth in Sunday's series finale.

Elevated to leadoff spot
Grissom will start at first base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game versus the Guardians.
Analyse
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.

Lofts second homer
Grissom went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians.
Analyse
The 25-year-old infielder drove a Franco Aleman fastball 406 feet the other way to right-center field in the eighth inning for the game's final bit of offense. 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.
