Granderson struck out in all four of his at-bats in the Tigers' 5-1 loss to Boston on Thurday.
Advice: Granderson has seven strikeouts in his last two games after striking out just seven times in his first 13 games of the season. He's only 2-for-18 (.111) in his last four games after batting .317 with five homers and 13 runs in his first 11.

Granderson will get a day off on Friday, the Tigers' official site reports.
Recommendation: Manager Jim Leyland wants to go with a right-handed heavy lineup against Yankees lefty Kei Igawa. Ryan Raburn will get the start in center field.

CF Curtis Granderson needs to adjust. Pitchers are throwing him a constant diet of breaking balls and he's striking out as a result. Pitchers were feeding Granderson largely fastballs when he first returned from his broken middle finger but now it's the other way around. Granderson struck out four times Thursday night and has fanned in 7-of-10 at-bats.
