Grossman nears return to spring action

BRADENTON, Fla. -- Twins outfielder Robbie Grossman, out since March 19 with a right groin strain, participated in a full workout on Monday and will play in a Minor League game on Tuesday before returning to Grapefruit League play on Wednesday.

Grossman is expected to be the club's fourth outfielder this season, and the Twins expect him to be ready for Opening Day on April 3. Grossman figures to see most of his time against left-handed pitching this season, playing in left field and occasionally serving as the designated hitter.

The 27-year-old has never been on the disabled list in his four-year Major League career, and barring a setback, he will continue that streak.
