On shelf at Double-A Double-A Hartford placed Veen on its 7-day injured list July 27 with a right thumb injury, MLB.com reports.
Impact Veen missed five and a half weeks in May and June with back and left hand injuries before returning to the Hartford lineup shortly before the All-Star break, but he played in just eight games for the Double-A club before succumbing to a new injury. Per MLB.com, Rockies player development director Chris Forbes said he didn't have a timeline for Veen's potential return to action.

Bruises thumb in relief appearance Lambert was removed from his relief appearance in Thursday's 9-1 loss to the Mets due to what Rockies manager Bud Black described as a "severely bruised" left thumb, MLB.com report...
Impact Coming on in relief in the top of the fourth after starter Austin Gomber lasted just three innings, Lambert allowed a one-out single to Tyrone Taylor, then retired him and Lindor when Lindor's liner ricocheted off Lambert's glove safely to shortstop Ezequiel Tovar, who stepped on second base and threw to first base to complete an inning-ending double play. Lambert went on to pitch two more innings and struck out three batters on the day, but his overall effectiveness waned as he pitched through the thumb injury, as he ended up giving up two earned runs on five hits and one walk. Though X-rays came back negative, Lambert could be a candidate to go on the injured list if the swelling in his thumb doesn't subside over the next day or two.

Resumes rehab assignment Jones (back) resumed his rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday in a 5-2 win over Sacramento. He came off the bench and drew a walk in his lone plate appearance.
Impact Jones was back in action for Albuquerque for the first time since Saturday after he paused his rehab assignment for a few days to observe the birth of his child, per TheDNVR.com. The 26-year-old has now gone 5-for-16 with two home runs and six walks through the first six games of his rehab assignment, but he could end up sticking around with Albuquerque through the weekend as he looks to regain his timing at the plate following the brief shutdown. Once activated from the 10-day injured list, Jones should displace Jake Cave as the Rockies' top option in left field.

Rough first inning leads to loss Gomber (3-8) was saddled with the loss Thursday, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk over three innings. He struck out one.
Impact Gomber allowed five extra-base hits in the first inning, with a two-run blast by Pete Alonso representing the biggest blow of the four-run inning. A second dinger by Alonso to lead off the third was the final blow against Gomber, who was removed following the third frame. Thursday's outing marked the first time in 10 home starts this season that Gomber has allowed as many as five earned runs. While his next start is slated to take place away from Coors Field, Gomber's task won't be any easier as he's slated to face the red-hot Diamondbacks next week in Phoenix.

Recalled to majors The Rockies recalled Pint from Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.
Impact Pint allowed two earned runs in just two-thirds of an inning during his lone MLB appearance June 29, and he has since posted a 3.00 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 12 innings with the Isotopes. He'll now be called upon to provide additional depth to Colorado's bullpen, taking the roster spot of Ryan Feltner (shoulder).

Placed on injured list The Rockies placed Feltner on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right shoulder strain.
Impact Feltner was pulled from his start Wednesday after just one inning due to shoulder and lat issues, and manager Bud Black said immediately after the game that it was likely the 27-year-old would need to spend time on the IL. With Feltner sidelined until at least Aug. 23 and German Marquez (elbow) set to miss the rest of the season, the Rockies will need to promote someone from Triple-A to fill the fifth spot in their rotation. For now, they'll recall Riley Pint to provide additional bullpen depth.

Will not return this season Rockies manager Bud Black said Thursday that Marquez will not return this season after being diagnosed with a stress reaction in his right elbow, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports.
Impact Marquez made his way back from Tommy John surgery but lasted just one start before going back on the injured list last month with more elbow issues. The good news is there's nothing wrong with his UCL this time around, and the expectation is that he'll be ready to resume throwing in 6-to-8 weeks and have a normal offseason. Marquez is set to earn $10 million in 2025 in his final year under contract.

Getting afternoon off Diaz is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.
Impact Diaz started behind the plate in the first two games of the series, but he'll be given some rest as the Rockies and Mets conclude their three-game set with a matinee contest. Jacob Stallings will fill in for Diaz at catcher.

Hitting bench against southpaw Cave is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.
Impact The lefty-hitting Cave will hit the bench for the series finale while the Mets send southpaw David Peterson to the hill. Cave looks to be secure in a strong-side platoon role in the Colorado outfield for the time being, but he'll see his opportunities to start against right-handed pitching take a hit once Nolan Jones (back) returns from the injured list. Jones hasn't appeared in any rehab games since last Saturday following the birth of his child, but he's expected to rejoin Triple-A Albuquerque in the coming days before eventually getting activated.

Heading to bench Thursday McMahon is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.
Impact The Rockies are wrapping up their series with a day game after a night game and are facing off against a lefty (David Peterson), so manager Bud Black likely viewed Thursday's contest as a good opportunity to give the lefty-hitting McMahon some off time. Aaron Schunk will step in at third base in place of McMahon, who had gone hitless in each of his last six starts, bringing his batting average down to .252 for the season.
AUGUST 8 • ROTOWIRE
Taking seat in series finale Blackmon is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.
Impact Blackmon will take a seat along with fellow left-handed hitters Ryan McMahon and Jake Cave as the Mets send southpaw David Peterson to the hill. Kris Bryant will get a day off from the outfield and will replace Blackmon as the Rockies' designated hitter.

Solo homer in loss Tovar went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Wednesday's loss to the Mets.
Impact Tovar jumped on the first pitch he saw from Paul Blackburn in the opening frame and launched it 434 feet for his 19th home run of the campaign, giving Colorado an early 1-0 lead. The shortstop has struggled mightily since the start of August, batting just .120 (3-for-25) through six games so far. The home run marked both his first extra-base hit and first RBI this month, though he's now scored a run in back-to-back games.

Trip to IL likely Feltner was removed from Wednesday's game against the Mets due to shoulder soreness and a lat issue, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Manager Bud Black added that Feltner will likely be headed to the injured list as a result of his injuries. The 27-year-old righty was able to get through just one inning during his start Wednesday, during which he gave up one earned run on two hits and struck out a batter. The Rockies haven't yet named a candidate to replace Feltner in the rotation, though the spot could be given to German Marquez (elbow), who is nearing a return from the injured list.
