Cranks first career grand slam
Meckler went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and an additional run scored in Saturday's 14-3 win over the Rays.
Analysis
Meckler ripped his first career grand slam Saturday to double his RBI total for the season. The left-handed-hitting outfielder has been effective in his strong-side platoon role with Jose Siri in left field so far. Over his first 26 at-bats, Meckler is hitting .308 with two home runs, three runs and two stolen bases.

On bench against lefty
Meckler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis
After being called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday when Josh Lowe was demoted in a corresponding move, Meckler started in left field in the first two games of the series with Texas, going 3-for-6 with a home run, a walk and three RBI. Though he'll be on the bench Sunday against Rangers southpaw MacKenzie Gore, Meckler's solid pair of performances following his call-up could allow him to hold down a strong-side platoon role in the short term.
