Path to playing time clears up Doyle will start in center field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Padres.
Impact While Charlie Blackmon (hand) and Kris Bryant (finger) are on the injured list, Doyle had already been seeing fairly steady playing time in the outfield since the All-Star break, but the Rockies' recent trade of Randal Grichuk to the Angels should free up center field for Doyle even when Blackmon and Bryant return to action. Doyle will man center for a fourth consecutive game, even while he remains in an extended funk at the plate. Thus far in the second half, Doyle is hitting just .133/.204/.244 with one home run and two stolen bases while striking out at a 42.9 percent clip.

Likely headed for utility role Castro is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
Impact The 29-year-old has filled the strong side of a platoon at second base for most of the season, but he'll likely transition into a utility role after Brendan Rodgers made his return from the 60-day injured list Monday. The lefty-hitting Castro is on the bench for a second straight day, even with the Padres bringing a right-hander (Nick Martinez) to the hill.

Resting Wednesday Diaz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
Impact Diaz will head to the bench for the matinee game after he drew starts behind the plate Monday and Tuesday. He smacked three doubles in Tuesday's 8-5 loss, but the 32-year-old catcher has hit just one home run over his last 27 games.

Takes hold of everyday role Toglia will start in right field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Padres.
Impact With the Rockies moving first baseman C.J. Cron and outfielder Randal Grichuk ahead of the trade deadline, Toglia appears to be temporarily locked into an everyday role, at least until Colorado gets the likes of Charlie Blackmon (hand) and Kris Bryant (finger) back from the injured list. Toglia will pick up his fifth straight start Wednesday and his 10th start in the last 11 games. He's hitting just .194 with two extra-base hits over his last 10 contests.

Productive in loss Profar went 3-for-5 with two runs scored Tuesday against the Padres.
Impact Profar collected his fourth multi-hit effort in his last 10 games, during which he's also managed six runs scored and four RBI. Even though he's served as the Rockies' primary leadoff hitter for most of the season, Profar has little to offer in terms of fantasy value as he has only a .127 ISO with one stolen base across 413 plate appearances.

Comes back to earth Lambert (2-2) took the loss Tuesday, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks over 4.1 innings against the Padres. He struck out two.
Impact Lambert entered Tuesday's start having not allowed a single earned run over his last 15 innings and had allowed just one run when he was pulled from the contest. However, he left the bases loaded when he exited the game and all three runners eventually came around to score to end Lambert's start with four earned runs. With four starts under his belt, Lambert owns a 1.96 ERA and a 9:5 K:BB through 18.1 innings as part of the Rockies rotation. He's tentatively scheduled to make another start in Milwaukee early next week.

Crushes another homer McMahon went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 8-5 loss against the Padres.
Impact McMahon went yard for a second consecutive contest, tagging reliever Steven Wilson for a three-run shot in the seventh that scored Jurickson Profar and Ezequiel Tovar. The third baseman has posted multiple hits in five of his last seven games and has logged an extra-base hit in four consecutive contests. Across his last seven appearances, McMahon is batting 11-for-28 (.393) with three homers, 10 RBI and six runs scored.

Back in lineup Tuesday Jones (cramps) is back in the lineup Tuesday versus the Padres.
Impact Jones will start in right field and bat sixth for the Rockies after making an early exit from Monday's series opener due to some mild cramping. The 25-year-old has posted an impressive .836 OPS with nine homers and seven steals through 50 major-league games this season.

Activated from 60-day IL Colorado activated Kinley (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
Impact Finally recovered from his June 2022 flexor tendon surgery, Kinley will join the Rockies' bullpen ahead of Tuesday night's game against the Padres. He got hammered in his first minor-league rehab appearance back in early July but rallied for a 3.68 ERA and 9:1 K:BB over his next seven outings covering 7.1 innings.

Reaches base three times in win Montero went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, and an RBI in Monday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Padres.
Impact Montero was making his third start in six games since being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque last Wednesday. Though Michael Toglia is expected to get the first opportunity to serve as the Rockies' primary first baseman following the recent trade of C.J. Cron to the Angels, Montero drew the starting nod Monday while Toglia shifted to the corner outfield as a replacement for Nolan Jones, who is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Toglia and Jones will have clearer paths to everyday roles moving forward, but Montero may end up settling in as the Rockies' top option at designated hitter. In addition to Cron, the Rockies also recently traded away another everyday player in Randal Grichuk, and two more lineup regulars in Charlie Blackmon (hand) and Kris Bryant (finger) remain on the injured list and are without clear target dates to return.

Impact Bruihl was designated for assignment by the Dodgers last Friday, having logged a 4.07 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB through 24.1 major-league innings on the season. The 26-year-old left-hander could immediately join the Rockies' big-league bullpen after they traded Brad Hand to Atlanta on Tuesday afternoon.
