Will miss Sunday start Gomber (back) will not pitch as scheduled Sunday against the Blue Jays, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Rockies manager Bud Black said Wednesday that it was possible Gomber could be skipped in the rotation due to soreness in his lower back, and that has now been confirmed. Luckily, it seems Gomber will be able to avoid the injured list and could still be able to return for his next turn through the rotation -- tentatively scheduled for Sept. 9 against San Francisco.

Activated Friday The Rockies reinstated Kinley (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Friday, Kelsey Wingert-Linch of AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.
Impact Kinley spent over a year on the injured list to begin the season while rehabbing from flexor tendon surgery, but he ended up back on the IL on Aug. 20 with inflammation in the same elbow. Now that he's healthy again, he'll rejoin the Rockies' bullpen and look to improve upon his 9.53 ERA and 2.12 WHIP.

Promoted to majors The Rockies recalled Bouchard from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, Kelsey Wingert-Linch of AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.
Impact Bouchard impressed during his time in the majors last season with a .954 OPS and 11 RBI in 97 plate appearances, but he's gotten off to a slower start in Triple-A since recovering from a biceps injury. Bouchard will give the Rockies another option in the outfield, and he could potentially see time in right field while Kris Bryant (finger) is out.

Returns to lineup Friday Rodgers (illness) is starting at second base and batting fifth Friday versus the Blue Jays in his return to the lineup.
Impact It's Rodgers' first start since Sunday, as he's been battling an illness this week but is finally feeling well enough to give it a go. The infielder is sporting just a .218/.274/.295 batting line in 20 games since returning from shoulder surgery in late July.

Contributes homer, steal Trejo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored, a stolen base and a walk in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to Atlanta.
Impact Entering Wednesday, Trejo had gone 0-for-12 across his last seven games while holding down a reserve role. The homer was his first since Aug. 13, while the steal was his first in 32 games dating back to June 3. The infielder has a poor .237/.283/.353 slash line with three long balls, five thefts, 22 RBI and 18 runs scored over 188 plate appearances this season.

Downed by Atlanta Freeland (5-14) allowed seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and a walk while striking out three over 5.2 innings, taking the loss Wednesday versus Atlanta.
Impact Facing baseball's most powerful offense at Coors Field was always going to be tricky for Freeland, and he didn't prove that theory wrong. He ended up with a sour end to a mediocre August in which he went 1-3 while allowing 25 runs (24 earned) over 33.2 innings across six starts. The poor month elevated his ERA from 4.79 to 5.18, and he has a 1.47 WHIP and 89:38 K:BB over 140.2 innings this season. Freeland is projected to make his next start on the road in Arizona.

Scratched due to illness Rodgers (illness) was scratched from the lineup Wednesday versus Atlanta.
Impact Rodgers is apparently still battling symptoms related to the illness that kept him out both Monday and Tuesday. Alan Trejo will instead start at second base and bat eighth as the Rockies wrap up their three-game series against the NL East leaders.
AUGUST 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Could be skipped in rotation Rockies manager Bud Black said Wednesday that Gomber (back) could be skipped on his next turn in the rotation, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact Gomber made an early exit from his last start Monday versus Atlanta due to back soreness, and Colorado has two off days within the next week that would allow for a temporarily thin starting mix. The 29-year-old southpaw was still experiencing soreness in his back as of Wednesday evening, though it sounds like he should be able to avoid the 15-day IL even if he requires a bit of extra rest.
AUGUST 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Back in action Wednesday Rodgers (illness) will start at second base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
Impact Rodgers will draw back into the starting nine after missing the previous two contests with an illness. Harold Castro will head back to the bench to clear room at the keystone for Rodgers, who is hitting .218 with no home runs, 10 RBI and eight runs in 84 plate appearances since being activated from the injured list July 31.
AUGUST 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Solid despite loss Lambert (3-5) took the loss Tuesday, allowing three runs on nine hits over five innings against Atlanta. He struck out two.
Impact Though Lambert fell to his fifth loss of the campaign, he surrendered just three runs, notching his fourth straight start yielding three or fewer runs. However, he was tagged by Marcell Ozuna for a solo home run in the second inning to mark Lambert's fifth consecutive outing giving up a long ball. Over his last four appearances (23 innings), Lambert owns a 3.52 ERA to go along with a 17:3 K:BB. He's tentatively lined up to take on the Diamondbacks in Arizona for his next start.

Activated, advances to Double-A Amador (hand) was assigned to Double-A Hartford on Saturday after being activated from High-A Spokane's 7-day injured list.
Impact Even though Amador hadn't played for Spokane since June 22 before being shut down with a broken hamate bone in his right hand that ultimately required surgery, the Rockies saw enough from the 20-year-old during his rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League to send him to Double-A now that he's healthy again. Through his first two games with Hartford, the switch-hitting middle infielder has gone 2-for-8 with a walk, a run scored and two stolen bases. He had slashed .302/.391/.514 with nine home runs and 12 stolen bases in 54 games with Spokane prior to getting injured.
