Angels outfielder was not claimed on outright waivers, ESPNs Jeff Pa san. Hell remain with the Halos unle s they surprisingly choose to outright him to a minor league affiliate, at which point Grichuk would have the right to elect free agency. Los Angeles acquired Grichuk from the Rockies on July 30. The veteran outfielder had a .308/.365/.498 batting line at the time. He hasnt hit at all since landing in Southern California, posting a .168/.220/.347 slash in 109 plate appearances as an Angel. Grichuks strikeout rate is up more than four percentage points relative to his time in Colorado. Dismal batted ball luck has surely played a role. After hitting .363 on balls in play for the Rox Yandy Diaz Jersey , Grichuk owns just a .181 BABIP for the Halos. Neverthele s, other clubs were concerned enough about his recent drop-off not to add him to the roster. Los Angeles succe sfully moved on from he was by the Reds so theyll presumably keep Grichuk on the major league club to play out the stretch run. The 32-year-old is making $9.33MM on the season. Thats being divided among three teams. The Blue Jays are covering $4.33MM as part of the trade that sent him to Colorado over the 2021-22 offseason. The Rockies are paying down around half the remaining salary as a condition of the trade with the Halos, leaving Los Angeles on the hook for the prorated portion of approximately $2.5MM. Grichuk will be a free agent at the end of the season. Yoniel Curet Jersey
