Sitting versus southpaw Cave is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.
Impact It's southpaw DJ Herz on the hill for the Nationals, so the left-handed hitting Cave will begin this one on the bench. Jordan Beck is getting the call in right field for the Rockies.

Not in Tuesday's lineup Stallings is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Nationals.
Impact It will be Drew Romo doing the catching for Austin Gomber in this one. Stallings and Romo have had two starts apiece since the latter joined the major-league roster following Elias Diaz's release, and the two seem likely to continue splitting catching duties down the stretch.

Recovering from shoulder surgery Montgomery underwent left shoulder surgery in May and is done for the season, Geoff Pontes of Baseball America reports.
Impact He slashed .283/.313/.500 with two home runs, three steals, 20 strikeouts and two walks in 11 games for Double-A Hartford before suffering the season-ending injury in late April. Set to turn 22 on Sept. 9, Montgomery possesses above-average raw power and plus speed, but he struck out at a 41.7 percent clip in his first test against Double-A pitching. It's unclear if Montgomery will be fully recovered in time for spring training.

Impact Hill suffered the injury during an outing Saturday at Triple-A Albuquerque. The timeline for his return is still up in the air at this point, though Rockies Assistant Player Development Director Jesse Stender noted the club is hopeful the right-hander will be back at some point this season, per Harding.

Converts ninth save Vodnik walked one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Padres.
Impact Vodnik put together two scoreless outings at home versus the Padres during this series after blowing a save Tuesday in Arizona. That blown save was Vodnik's first since he took over the primary closer role for the Rockies. He's allowed five runs over 8.1 innings in August, but they've been limited to two poor appearances out of nine. For the season, Vodnik has a 4.04 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 57:31 K:BB while converting nine saves, adding six holds and taking three blown saves through 64.2 innings.

Limits Padres to one run Blalock allowed one run on six hits and three walks while striking out two over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Sunday.
Impact Blalock came up an out short of a quality start for the second outing in a row, and he was also pulled before the Rockies gained the lead in the bottom of the sixth inning. While he walked three, it was still another positive performance for the 23-year-old in his Coors Field debut. Blalock has a 2.92 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 6:4 K:BB over 12.1 innings across three appearances (two starts) between Colorado and Milwaukee this year. Despite his decent pitching, Blalock may be sent back to Triple-A Albuquerque if Ryan Feltner (shoulder) is able to return from the injured list this week without requiring a rehab assignment, though Tanner Gordon has been less inspiring as a fill-in starter for Colorado's injury-plagued rotation.

Not starting Sunday Tovar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Tovar started the previous 24 games but will sit Sunday while in the midst of a 3-for-19 slump. Aaron Schunk will take over at shortstop and bat ninth in the series finale versus San Diego.

Headed back to Triple-A The Rockies optioned Goodman to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Impact The move makes room for the reinstatement of Nolan Jones (back) from the 10-day injured list. Goodman has been with the big club since late April, but he saw his playing time decrease as he's slashing .177/.219/.373 with eight home runs, 24 RBI and a 29.0 percent strikeout rate across 169 major-league plate appearances. Goodman will have the opportunity to tweak his swing in an everyday role in Albuquerque.

Returns from IL The Rockies reinstated Jones (back) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.
Impact Jones was placed on the injured list just before the All-Star break due to a low-back strain. He made 13 outings during his rehab assignment and slashed .333/.455/.733 with four home runs and 14 RBI across 54 plate appearances over that span. Jones should regain his starting job in left field and form a platoon with the righty-hitting Jordan Beck. To make room on the 26-man roster for Jones, Colorado optioned Hunter Goodman to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Tallies 20th homer Toglia went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Saturday against the Padres.
Impact Toglia was the lone source of offense for the Rockies as he belted his 20th homer of the season in the sixth inning off Dylan Cease. That extended his hitting streak to 10 games -- three of which have been on the road -- during which he's gone 12-for-34 with four RBI, eight runs scored and two stolen bases.
