Not in Sunday's lineup Rodgers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rodgers started the past eight games and will take a seat Sunday after hitting .303/.343/.485 during that stretch. Harold Castro will man the keystone and bat sixth Sunday in his place.

Three consecutive multi-hit games Rodgers went 3-for-5 with three runs scored Saturday against the White Sox.

Impact Rodgers played a significant role in the Rockies' 11-run outburst Saturday, and he now has three consecutive multi-hit efforts. He's enjoyed a productive homestand overall, going 9-for-22 with seven runs scored and seven RBI across five games. Rodgers' production will likely dip once the Rockies hit the road Tuesday, particularly considering he's striking out an inflated 28.3 percent clip across the first 60 plate appearances of his season.

Heating up at home Rodgers went 2-for-4 with two doubles, three RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Rodgers delivered a two-RBI double and came around to score in the sixth inning to briefly give the Rockies the lead. After a slow start in his return from a hamstring injury that cost him the first four months of the season, Rodgers has benefitted from hitter-friendly Coors Field to tally four hits across 12 at-bats while racking up five RBI and two runs scored across his last three games. He's hit between fourth and sixth in Colorado's lineup but figures to be an everyday player down the stretch of the campaign.

Goes 1-for-4 in return Rodgers (hamstring) went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Rodgers' fourth-inning single forced an error from the Dodgers' defense, allowing the Rockies' lone run to score. After missing four months of the season with a shoulder injury, he sat out another three games with a minor hamstring issue. The second baseman is batting a mediocre .214 with two RBI and a 1:9 BB:K over seven contests this season. If his bat doesn't heat up, he may lose work to some combination of Harold Castro and Alan Trejo.

AUGUST 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to lineup Friday Rodgers (hamstring) is in the designated hitter spot and batting cleanup in his return to the lineup Friday versus the Dodgers, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Rodgers missed the previous three contests with a tight right hamstring, but he's feeling well enough to at least bat. When he'll be ready to return to second base isn't clear. Rodgers enters play Friday having gone 5-for-24 with two RBI in six games this season following a four-month absence post-shoulder surgery.

AUGUST 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Thursday Rodgers (hamstring) isn't in the Rockies' lineup Thursday against the Dodgers, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Rodgers has been dealing with discomfort in his right hamstring lately, and it will cause him to miss his third consecutive start Thursday. Alan Trejo will fill in at the keystone and bat sixth.

AUGUST 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sits with hamstring injury Rodgers (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Rodgers has spent most of the season on the shelf while recovering from shoulder surgery, but it's a tight right hamstring that will keep him on the bench for the second day in a row. Per MLB.com, Rodgers picked up the injury when he lunged after a grounder in the field in the first inning of Monday's 12-1 loss to the Brewers, but he was able to finish out the game. After Alan Trejo replaced Rodgers at the keystone for Tuesday's 7-3 win, Harold Castro will get the nod at second base for the series finale.

AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out with hamstring discomfort Rodgers is out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Brewers due to right hamstring discomfort, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rodgers tweaked his hamstring on a play in the field Monday in Milwaukee and could be held out of action until Thursday's series opener at Dodger Stadium. The good news is that the oft-injured 26-year-old infielder should not require yet another IL stint.

AUGUST 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched from lineup Tuesday Rodgers was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact A reason for his removal from the lineup was not immediately available. Rodgers just made his season debut last week after suffering a shoulder injury in spring training. Alan Trejo will start at second base in Rodgers' absence.

AUGUST 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hits bench Sunday Rodgers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact He'll get a breather for the series finale after he started in all five of the Rockies' games since he returned from the 60-day injured list Monday, going a collective 5-for-21 with two RBI and one walk against six strikeouts in those contests. Alan Trejo will spell Rodgers at the keystone.

AUGUST 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes 1-for-4 in season debut Rodgers (shoulder) went 1-for-4 in Monday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Padres.

Impact Rodgers missed four months of the campaign while recovering from a shoulder injury. He got the nod at designated hitter Monday, though he should also eventually enter the mix for playing time at second base, which has primarily been Harold Castro's position lately. Rodgers slashed .266/.325/.408 with 13 home runs over 137 contests last season, so he should provide some modest pop and on-base skills if he can work his way into an everyday role.

AUGUST 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set for season debut Rodgers (shoulder) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Padres.

Impact The shoulder injury Rodgers suffered in spring training cost him two thirds of the season, and he joins a last-place Rockies team that will be evaluating players for 2024 and beyond, Rodgers included. He hit .265 with one home run and seven strikeouts in 10 rehab games and should replace Harold Castro atop the depth chart at second base.

JULY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for rehab assignment Rodgers (shoulder) will head out to High-A Spokane on Monday to begin a rehab assignment, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact At one point, Rodgers' injury was feared to be season-ending, but he now appears to be on the verge of a return to live action. Rodgers will start out at the High-A level, and given the extended absence, he figures to take close to the full 20 days on rehab. While he took a bit of a step backward last season, Rodgers is a .294/.349/.442 career hitter at home in Coors Field.

Participates in batting practice Rodgers (shoulder) took part in batting practice Saturday, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rodgers began hitting drills in mid-June, though that was with softer practice balls. After the All-Star break, he is expected to report to the Rockies' spring training facility to continue to ramp up his activity. If all goes well, Rodgers hopes to return at some point in August.

Sense of betrayal still simmers at Celtic but Brendan Rodgers is shrewd at picking clubs There was talk of betrayal when Brendan Rodgers left Celtic and it hasn't gone away, but his return could yet help rebuild his career

JUNE 24, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Starting hitting drills Rodgers (shoulder) is slated to begin hitting drills this week, MLB.com reports.

Impact Rodgers will hit softer practice balls in the batting cage as he slowly ramps things up following surgery during spring training to repair the labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder. He's also fielded some grounders and done some running drills. He still has a long way to go, but the hope is Rodgers might be able to return sometime in August.

JUNE 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fielding grounders Rodgers (shoulder) is fielding grounders and showing better range of motion, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Rodgers has been out all season after undergoing shoulder surgery. The surgery once appeared to be potentially season-ending, but the Rockies seem optimistic that he could return late this season. Any potential return is still months away, but he's at least taking steps in the right direction.

JUNE 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could make late-season return Rodgers (shoulder) is ahead of schedule and has a chance to return later this season, Rockies manager Bud Black told Thomas Harding of MLB.com on Monday.

Impact Rodgers -- who underwent surgery to repair a capsule tear in his left shoulder in early March -- was taking grounders at Coors Field pregame Monday. There is no timetable for his return, but he's progressing well and the team hasn't given up hope that he could make a late-season return. Fantasy managers would be wise not to count on it, however.
