Earns save Sunday Lawrence struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Athletics.
Impact Lawrence suffered a blown save in his last outing Tuesday versus the Nationals, allowing four runs (three earned) in one inning. The right-hander has largely avoided blow-ups like that this year, allowing multiple runs in just five of his 45 appearances. Tuesday's mess was his lone misstep in July -- he's kept runs off the board in his other nine innings this month while settling into the head of the Rockies' closer committee lately. Lawrence owns a 2.89 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 55:24 K:BB through 53 innings with eight saves and eight holds this year.

Impact Blach performed well as Sunday's starter, allowing three hits and a walk while striking out two in five scoreless innings to pick up his first win of the season. He tossed just 52 pitches in the outing, a slight increase after throwing 42 pitches in his last start. He'll have another opportunity to showcase his potential as a starter next weekend against the Cardinals.

Early exit deemed precautionary Jones exited Sunday's game against the Athletics as a precautionary measure after he cramped up during an at-bat in the eighth inning, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact Jones was visited by a trainer in the bottom of the eighth inning before being replaced defensively in the top of the ninth, but his injury doesn't seem to be particularly serious. The 25-year-old should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's series opener against the Padres.

Exits with trainer Jones was removed from Sunday's game against the Athletics in the ninth inning due to an apparent injury, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact Jones appeared to land awkwardly on first base while running out a grounder earlier in Sunday's matchup, and he was visited by a trainer at the end of the eighth inning before being replaced defensively to begin the ninth. He went 2-for-4 before leaving the game, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for Monday's series opener against the Padres.

Receives breather Sunday Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Impact Diaz is 6-for-12 with a double, a walk, an RBI and two runs in the past three games but will receive Sunday off for the series finale versus Oakland. Austin Wynns will step in behind the plate to catch and bat ninth.

Draws another starting assignment Blach is slated to start Sunday's game against the Athletics at Coors Field, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Impact After making his most recent appearance -- and his first since July 1 -- as the Rockies' opening pitcher last Sunday in Miami, Blach will draw another starting assignment. The veteran southpaw worked three innings and 41 pitches his last time out against Miami before turning the game over to the bullpen, but he could be able to reach five innings and thus qualify for the win Sunday if he's economical with his pitch count. Even so, Blach won't make for a recommended streaming option even in deeper leagues while he'll be pitching in the unforgiving confines of Coors Field.

Not starting Sunday Profar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the A's, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Impact Profar is 3-for-7 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a run in the first two games against Oakland, but he'll head to the bench for Sunday's series finale. Nolan Jones, Brenton Doyle and Randal Grichuk will start in the outfield from left to right.

Bright spot in Saturday's loss Grichuk went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 11-3 loss to the Athletics.
Impact Grichuk was once again a positive for the Rockies despite the lopsided loss. While he missed a week with a groin injury just after the All-Star break, the outfielder hasn't slowed down since returning, going 13-for-34 (.382) with three homers over his last eight contests. For the season, he's up to a .312/.367/.502 slash line with eight long balls, 27 RBI, 40 runs scored and two stolen bases through 63 games. Grichuk's strong hitting of late has earned him the starting role in right field with Kris Bryant (finger) out.

Struggles in Colorado debut Flexen (0-5) allowed six runs (five earned) on four hits and six walks while striking out four over 3.2 innings to take the loss versus the Athletics on Saturday.
Impact The altitude usually makes its presence known on batted balls, but Flexen was far too generous with free passes to have an acceptable outing in his Rockies debut. His six walks Saturday doubled his previous season high. The right-hander is now at an 8.08 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and 33:25 K:BB over 45.2 innings between the Rockies and the Mariners this season. While it was far from an encouraging effort, Colorado's rotation needs arms capable of covering innings, so Flexen could stick around for a while. He's tentatively lined up for a road start in St. Louis next week.
