BRENDAN RODGERS NEWS

Takes seat Sunday Rodgers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Rodgers will sit for the second straight game in favor of Alan Trejo, who drew the nod at second base over the former in the second half of Saturday's doubleheader. Though he doesn't yet appear to have lost hold of an everyday role, Rodgers has plummeted in the lineup of late in light of his recent struggles. He was moved to the No. 7 spot in the order for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader and went 0-for-4 in the Rockies' 13-0 loss, dropping his season-long slash line to .087/.157/.109 across 51 plate appearances.

Dropped to seventh in lineup Rodgers is hitting seventh and starting at second base in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

Impact He started the year hitting third, was quickly dropped to fifth and had been hitting sixth for the last five games, so this marks another demotion in the lineup for Rodgers. He is hitting .095 with zero home runs and a 34.0 K% in 11 games.

Heads to bench Friday Rodgers is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Rodgers is 2-for-23 with an RBI, a run and 10 strikeouts while starting all six games so far this season, and he'll take a day on the bench to reset Friday. Garrett Hampson will start at the keystone in his place.

Dreadful start to season Rodgers went 0-for-4 with a walk and three strikeouts Thursday against the Cubs.

Impact Rodgers has had a dreadful start to the season, and that continued Thursday with a three-strikeout performance. While he has only two hits across 27 plate appearances, his inflated 37 percent strikeout rate is the most significant reason for concern. That is well above his career rate of 23 percent, so there is hope for a turnaround. In addition, Rodgers has remained a regular in the Colorado lineup, so there is no indication of him losing playing time at this point.

Occupying key spot in lineup Rodgers went 0-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and one run scored Sunday against the Dodgers.

Impact Rodgers didn't collect a hit but took advantage of a strong offensive performance by the entire Rockies' offense. He's hit third in each of the team's games early on in the campaign, though he has only one hit in 13 plate appearances with four strikeouts. Assuming he snaps out of his early season slump, he should be in a strong position to rack up counting stats.

Checks back into lineup Rodgers (back) will start at second base and bat fifth in Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Angels, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact The 25-year-old will pick up his first official start of the spring, after he was previously a late scratch from the lineup in Saturday's game against the Giants while he dealt with back tightness. In his return to action, Rodgers will be part of a starting nine Tuesday that would appear to resemble the Rockies' everyday lineup versus right-handed pitching. Batting out of the fifth spot behind Charlie Blackmon, Kris Bryant, Ryan McMahon and C.J. Cron could be fruitful ground for run-producing chances, especially at Coors Field.

Late scratch Saturday Rodgers was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's Cactus League game against the Giants for an unspecified reason, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
