Still wearing splint on finger Bryant said Monday that he's uncertain when he'll be able to remove the splint protecting his fractured left index finger, MLB.com reports. "[The Rockies medical staff] don't want...

Impact Bryant was placed on the 10-day injured list July 25 due to the broken finger on his glove hand, and while he continues to wear the splint, he doesn't look as though he'll be able to do much in the way of baseball activities. Bryant is without a clear timeline to return to the field in what's shaping up to be another disappointing, injury-marred season in Colorado for the 31-year-old, who is in the second year of a seven-year, $182 contract.

Resumes playing catch Anderson (shoulder) played catch Monday at a distance of a little over 90 feet, MLB.com reports.

Impact Monday marked the fourth consecutive day that Anderson was able to play catch, as the right-hander remains in the early phase of his throwing program while he works his way back from an inflamed right shoulder. Anderson could be cleared for a bullpen session later this week or early next week if he continues to respond well to playing catch while gradually extending the distance of his throws.

Resumes full activities Blackmon (hand) turned in full workouts on the field Monday and Tuesday and could soon be cleared to begin a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.

Impact Blackmon, who has been on the injured list since June 11 with a fractured right hand, was expected to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Aug. 1, but the Rockies nixed those plans after the 37-year-old acknowledged that he was experiencing some lingering discomfort. The setback was considered a minor one, and Blackmon's ability to perform full baseball activities less than a week later suggests his rehab program is back on track. Expect the Rockies to provide an update on Blackmon's next steps within the next couple of days.

Heads back to Triple-A The Rockies optioned Seabold to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

Impact Colorado will swap Seabold off the 26-man active roster in favor of a fresh arm in right-hander Karl Kauffmann, who should serve as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen. Seabold was touched up for seven earned runs on eight hits and one walk over two innings of mop-up duty in his most recent appearance in Monday's 12-1 loss to the Brewers. After the ugly outing, Seabold is now sitting on a 7.65 ERA and 1.63 WHIP over 82.1 innings on the season.

Heads to bench amid struggles Montero is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Montero's stretch of eight consecutive starts will come to an end Wednesday as utility man Cole Tucker replaces him in the lineup for the series finale. Though injuries to Kris Bryant (finger) and Charlie Blackmon (hand) have opened up everyday playing time for him, Montero has yet to take advantage of the opportunity. Since being recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on July 25, Montero is hitting .195 with three extra-base hits (one home run, two doubles) and a 46.5 percent strikeout rate in 11 games.

Gets maintenance day Diaz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Austin Wynns will get a turn behind the plate while Diaz retreats to the bench fort the day game after a night game. Diaz had started each of Colorado's last five contests, going 4-for-19 with a home run and three RBI.

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.

Returning to big leagues The Rockies recalled Kauffmann from Triple-A Albuquerque ahead of Wednesday's game against the Brewers, MLB.com reports.

Impact He'll be joining the Colorado bullpen as a replacement in long relief for Connor Seabold, who was sent to Albuquerque after surrendering seven earned runs in two innings of mop-up duty in Monday's 12-1 loss to Milwaukee. Kauffmann has made three of his six appearances with Colorado this season as a starter and could be the next man up to join the rotation if the Rockies lose a pitcher to injury or if the likes of Chris Flexen or Ty Blach lose hold of their rotation spots.

Makes return at Double-A Fernandez has gone 5-for-12 with three doubles, two walks, three RBI and two runs in three games for Double-A Hartford since returning from the 7-day injured list Saturday after mi...

Impact The 20-year-old outfield prospect was sidelined for about 10 days with what was apparently a minor injury. Since getting a promotion from High-A Spokane on June 20, Fernandez is hitting .237/.309/.443 with five home runs across 110 plate appearances with Hartford.

AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Makes Double-A debut The Rockies promoted Thompson from High-A Spokane to Double-A Hartford on Tuesday.

Impact In his Double-A debut Tuesday, Thompson served as Hartford's designated hitter and went 0-for-4 with a walk and a run scored. One of the top prospects in the Colorado system, the 22-year-old third baseman earned the bump up to Hartford after slashing .323/.399/.520 with seven home runs and 14 stolen bases in 263 plate appearances at Spokane.

Impact Davis is likely to make at least one more rehab start in the ACL or with another lower-level affiliate before he makes his return to Triple-A Albuquerque's rotation. The 26-year-old righty has been out of action at Albuquerque since July 9 due to an unspecified injury.

AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves up to Triple-A The Rockies promoted Goodman from Double-A Hartford to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Impact Goodman wasted no time making an impression with his new club, hitting a grand slam in his Albuquerque debut in a 10-5 loss at Round Rock. Prior to his promotion, the 23-year-old had been one of the top power hitters in the Eastern League this season, smacking 25 home runs and hitting .239 with a 10.5 percent walk rate and 24.5 percent strikeout rate. The Rockies haven't completely pulled the plug on developing Goodman as a catcher, but he's made just 12 starts behind the plate this season compared to 31 in left field, 25 at designated hitter and 24 at first base.

Impact He reached base twice and scored a run in his first game with the Isotopes. Bouchard underwent surgery in March to repair a ruptured left biceps muscle but is tracking toward a return before the end of August and could wind up receiving a good amount of playing time with the big club once ready.

Homers twice during win Jones went 2-for-4 with two homers and three RBI in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Brewers.

Impact Jones had gone 11 games without a home run entering Tuesday but made up for the drought by sending two balls over the fence in the fourth and seventh innings. The 25-year-old outfielder is now slashing .333/.433/.667 with six RBI since the beginning of August and figures to continue seeing regular playing time while Kris Bryant (finger) is on the injured list.

Collects first win Koch (1-0) earned the win Tuesday against the Brewers. He allowed one hit and zero walks while striking out one over 1.2 scoreless innings.

Impact Koch entered a tied ballgame one out into the eighth inning and was able to keep the Brewers' bats quiet through the end of the ninth. The Rockies' offense was then able to take advantage of command issues from Milwaukee's bullpen and score four runs in the 10th inning. Since he was selected from Triple-A Albuquerque in late June, Koch has proven himself to be one of the Rockies' more reliable bullpen assets with a minuscule 1.42 ERA and 0.68 WHIP through 19 innings.

Tosses quality start Freeland did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on eight hits and zero walks over six innings against the Brewers. He struck out four.

Impact Although he allowed eight of Milwaukee's nine hits Tuesday, Freeland's refusal to issue free passes helped him break his streak of four consecutive starts with a loss. However, the 30-year-old lefty was given a lead to work with twice but gave them both up immediately courtesy of home runs from William Contreras in the third inning and Andruw Monasterio in the seventh. Freeland was pulled shortly after Monasterio's homer and remains in search of his first win since May 14 against Philadelphia.
