Optioned to Triple-A Carasiti was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.
Impact Carasiti tossed 2.2 scoreless innings of relief during his three-day stay in the Rockies' bullpen, but the 32-year-old right-hander holds a 6.29 ERA in 16 total major-league appearances this year. Ryan Feltner (head) has been activated from the injured list in a corresponding move and will start Tuesday's game at San Diego.

Activated for start Tuesday Feltner (head) was activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of his start Tuesday at San Diego.
Impact Feltner suffered a small skull fracture and a concussion when he was struck by a line drive May 13 against the Phillies, but he is back at full strength and can fit in a couple more turns in the Rockies' rotation before the conclusion of the 2023 campaign. The 27-year-old right-hander threw 66 pitches over 4.2 innings of one-run ball in his third and final minor-league rehab start last week with Triple-A Albuquerque.

Not in lineup Tuesday Blackmon is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Padres.
Impact Blackmon has put together four straight multi-hit games, but it'll be Kris Bryant manning the DH role for the Rockies on Tuesday as they take on tough left-hander Blake Snell. Nolan Jones, Brenton Doyle and Hunter Goodman are starting across the outfield.
SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Takes seat versus lefty McMahon is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.
Impact Alan Trejo will start at third base and bat eighth as the Rockies take on ace left-hander Blake Snell. McMahon has enjoyed a productive season overall, but he is slashing just .190/.264/.310 in 174 plate appearances versus southpaws.
SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Four consecutive multi-hit games Blackmon went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Monday against the Padres.
Impact Blackmon reached base three times in total, as he was also hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. He's tallied two hits in each of his last four games, which has also included three doubles, a triple, two RBI and four runs scored. The majority of that production came at Coors Field -- the team began a six-game road trip Monday -- and Blackmon has maintained just a .696 OPS away from home this season.

Racks up three hits in loss Rodgers went 3-for-4 with two RBI and one run scored in Monday's 11-9 loss to the Padres.
Impact Rodgers has three multi-hit efforts in a row and a five-game hitting streak. He's struggled to generate runs lately, as he had just three RBI over his previous 22 contests before knocking in a pair of runs on RBI singles in the second and ninth innings Monday. Rodgers is slashing .252/.317/.315 with no home runs, 14 RBI, 16 runs scored, six doubles and a triple through 34 games this season.
SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Strong work in loss Jones went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 11-9 loss to the Padres.
Impact This was Jones' second three-hit effort in a row. The outfielder has looked good in September, going 20-for-66 (.303) with four homers and 15 RBI over 17 contests. The 25-year-old is slashing .281/.366/.520 with 17 long balls, 54 RBI, 54 runs scored and 13 stolen bases through 94 games this season. Jones should continue to see most of the playing time in left field to close out the campaign.
SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Hit hard in loss Blach (3-2) allowed seven runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out three over 3.2 innings, taking the loss Monday versus the Padres.
Impact For the second time in three starts, Blach allowed three home runs. They accounted for six of the season-high seven runs scored against Blach in this start. He's given up 19 runs across 19.2 innings in September after pitching fairly well in August (3.71 ERA over 26.2 innings). The southpaw has a 5.32 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 41:19 K:BB through 67.2 innings over 18 appearances (11 starts) this season. Blach is lined up for a road outing against the Cubs over the weekend.

Set for Tuesday return Feltner (head) will be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Padres, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Impact Feltner suffered a scary injury May 13 against the Phillies after taking a line drive to the head, and he was later diagnosed with a concussion and a small skull fracture. However, he made his third rehab start Tuesday at Triple-A Albuquerque without issue and has been given the green light by Colorado's medical staff to return. The right-hander fired 66 total pitches in his final rehab start, so he figures to be on a similar pitch limit in San Diego.

Optioned to Triple-A Justice was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.
Impact Justice was summoned from the bullpen both Saturday and Sunday and likely would have been unavailable for a day or two, so the Rockies decided to send him to the minors to open up a roster spot for fellow reliever Daniel Bard, who was activated from the injured list in the corresponding move.
SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Back from injured list Bard (forearm) was activated from the injured list Monday, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.
Impact Bard landed on the injured list earlier this month, but he will rejoin Colorado's bullpen just a couple days after he was first eligible to do so. He was tagged for 13 runs -- eight earned -- in 4.0 innings over his last five appearances with the Rockies, so it seems unlikely he will join the late-inning mix, even with fellow reliever Justin Lawrence tending to an ankle injury.

Mashes three-run blast Doyle went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 11-10 loss to the Giants.
Impact Doyle smacked a 445-foot three-run homer to making it a 9-5 deficit for the Rockies in the sixth. It was Doyle's ninth home run of the year and his first since Aug. 15. The rookie started in all seven games for the Rockies over the last week and tallied six RBI over that span and should hold down a near-everyday role in center field to close out the season.
SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Homers in high scoring loss Goodman went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and three RBI in Sunday's loss to the Giants.
Impact Goodman got the Rockies on the board with a two-run blast to left center and then plated his third run of the game with a sacrifice fly. Each of Goodman's last four hits have all gone for extra bases; however, that's come over a span of eight games, as he hasn't been hitting the ball particularly well. With nothing to lose, it's possible the Rockies give Goodman a longer look over the final two weeks of the season, though he's recently seen his playing time dip. The 23-year-old is slashing .250/.290/.482 with eight extra-base hits, 17 RBI, six runs and a 4:15 BB:K in 62 plate appearances.
SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Hit with eighth loss Flexen (1-8) took the loss Sunday against the Giants after giving up four runs on five hits while striking out five over 5.1 innings.
Impact Flexen got off to a very strong start, allowing just two hits and a run through five frames before things fell apart in the sixth. He began the inning with an out but proceeded to allow three straight hits and was pulled in favor of Matt Koch who could not help him strand the inherited runners. Some positives are that Flexen has struck out five batters in back-to-back starts and hasn't surrendered a home run in either start as well, both of which took place at Coors Field. He's struggled to a unsightly 7.19 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 70:34 K:BB in 91.1 innings. Flexen lines up for a road start against the Cubs this week.
