Major League Career
Gronkiewicz' major league debut (and only major league appearance to date) was on June 19, 2007, when the Blue Jays hosted the Los Angeles Dodgers. He allowed one run -- a home run to Dodgers catcher Russell Martin -- on two hits, walking two and striking out two, over four innings of work.
In November 2007, he signed as a free agent with the Boston Red Sox.
In April 2008, after a stellar month in Triple-A where he allowed 1 run in 11 innings, he was placed on the DL with elbow soreness. It was later determined to be damage to his UCL and he underwent Tommy John surgery, ending his season. He became a free agent at the end of the season.
