Always something of a feast-or-famine commodity even in his heyday, Curtis Granderson has been especially easy to strike out this season, with the 14-year veteran sporting a hair-raising 31.8% punchout rate to go with an ugly .218 batting average.

Slicing Granderson's sample to focus on his most recent month doesn't do him any favors in the strikeout department, but it does help us notice how supremely unlucky he's been of late, swatting 40.9% hard contact and 27.9% liners yet coming away with a .155 average in that span on the back of a depressed .214 BABIP.

It's hard not to see the Toronto Blue Jays outfielder turning things around sooner than later, and he started that trend with a monster game Sunday, racking up four hits, including a homer, while driving in six.

With his salary nearing rock bottom, Granderson could return solid value this week, particularly against righties Matt Andriese and Austin Pruitt during the early-week bullpen games in Tampa Bay.
