COLORADO ROCKIES NEWS

Secures save Monday Kinley earned a save against the Marlins on Monday, striking out two batters in a perfect ninth inning.

Impact Kinley was called upon with Colorado holding a slim one-run lead in the ninth frame, and he cruised with a 1-2-3 inning on 15 pitches (11 of which were strikes). The righty reliever claimed his first save since Aug. 1 and his seventh in eight chances this season. Kinley has worked primarily in a setup role for most of August, but he could be in line for at least short-term save opportunities with Victor Vodnik (biceps) landing on the injured list last week.

Tosses five frames in return Feltner allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out two batters over five innings in a no-decision against Miami on Monday.

Impact Feltner pitched for the Rockies for the first time since landing on the injured list with a right shoulder strain Aug. 8. The right-hander was able to go five innings and throw 71 pitches in his return, and he got through four scoreless frames before faltering by allowing two runs in the fifth. Feltner notched only six whiffs and posted just two punchouts, but he didn't give up any extra-base hits. He's allowed three or fewer earned runs in each of his past nine starts, though his 36:19 K:BB across 46.2 innings during that stretch isn't very impressive.

Expected back Tuesday Tovar, who was given the day off Monday while dealing with a sports hernia, is expected to be in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Patrick Lyons of JustBa...

Impact The Rockies failed to disclose much about Tovar's ailment prior to this point, which could be one of the causes for his struggles at the dish so far in August. However, the issue shouldn't force the 23-year-old shortstop to miss additional time assuming he feels ready to play ahead of Tuesday's matchup.

Might need more time off Doyle (leg) could need another day or two off after being scratched from Monday's lineup against the Marlins, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Impact Doyle's injury doesn't appear to be overly serious, but the club seems content to hold him out a day or two longer to ensure he's at 100 percent before taking the field. Sam Hilliard, who drew the start in center field Monday and Jordan Beck are the likely candidates for playing time until Doyle is cleared to return.

AUGUST 27 • DATA SKRIVE

Riding pine Monday Tovar is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Aaron Schunk will handle shortstop duties for the Rockies while Tovar retreats to the bench after starting each of the past six games. Tovar recorded three doubles during the Rockies' series with the Yankees over the weekend, but he's largely floundered at the plate in August, slashing just .178/.204/.278 with a 34 percent strikeout rate and limited counting stats (one home run, no stolen bases, 11 runs, three RBI) through 21 games this month.

Resting up Monday Romo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Romo will get a breather Monday after he picked up starts behind the plate both of the past two days. Jacob Stallings will handle catching duties for the Rockies in the series opener.

AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE

Getting rest in series opener Blackmon is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Blackmon often heads to the bench against left-handed pitching, but he'll take a seat Monday while right-hander Edward Cabrera toes the rubber for Miami. The Rockies haven't indicated that Blackmon is nursing any sort of injury, so his absence from the lineup may just be a matter of maintenance after he started both of the past two days.

AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched from lineup Doyle was scratched from Monday's lineup against Miami due to right leg soreness.

Impact Doyle was initially slated to lead off in Monday's game, but he will now retreat to the bench due to a right leg injury. Sam Hilliard will take Doyle's spot in center field and bat seventh, while Jake Cave moves to the top of the Rockies' batting order.

Summoned from minors The Rockies recalled Bird from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

Impact Bird will give the Rockies a fresh arm as they begin a homestand. The 28-year-old has managed just a 6.12 ERA and 17:18 K:BB across 25 frames in the majors this season.

AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Rockies optioned Lambert to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

Impact Lambert has been used mostly as a multi-inning reliever for the Rockies this season and it hasn't gone well, as he holds a 5.72 ERA and 50:29 K:BB over 61.1 innings. Jake Bird will absorb his roster spot.

AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE

Headed back to IL The Rockies placed Gilbreath on the 15-day injured list Monday with left shoulder inflammation.

Impact It's a recurrence of an injury which sidelined Gilbreath earlier this season while he was rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. He was tagged for six runs over one inning of work covering three appearances with the Rockies after being activated from the IL earlier this month. It's not clear how long he'll be out this time around.

AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from injured list The Rockies activated Feltner (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

Impact Feltner is expected to start Monday's game at home against the Marlins after missing nearly three weeks with a right shoulder strain. The right-hander made one rehab start with Triple-A Albuquerque, allowing five runs (three earned) on four hits and two walks over 2.2 innings. He threw only 49 pitches in the outing, so Feltner's workload will be limited Monday.

Minimal production in August Tovar went 1-for-5 on Sunday against the Yankees.

Impact Tovar had a productive weekend series in New York, going 4-for-13 with three doubles and two runs scored. However, he's endured significant struggles throughout August by hitting just .178 with an abysmal 34 percent strikeout rate and 3.2 percent walk rate. Positively, he still has 11 runs scored in 21 games for the month.

AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE

Productive close to weekend series McMahon went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a walk Sunday against the Yankees.

Impact McMahon delivered an RBI double in the fifth inning, snapping a nine-game stretch during which he didn't tally an extra-base hit. While his overall stat line is comparable to past seasons, McMahon has had a disastrous August by hitting .147 with a 31.6 percent strikeout rate across 19 games.

Rehab shifting to Double-A Senzatela (elbow) will make his next rehab outing with Double-A Hartford at some point this week, MLB.com reports.

Impact Senzatela made two appearances with High-A Spokane, working 2.1 and three innings, respectively. His last outing came Friday, so he won't take the mound any earlier than Wednesday of the current week. Senzatela is aiming for a potential return to the mound late this season.
