Starting rehab assignment Bouchard (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Impact Bouchard is less than two weeks removed from suffering a right ankle sprain but is ready to test things out in a game setting. He is eligible for activation at any time, but the Rockies could keep him at Albuquerque rather than retuning him to the major-league roster.

Might not need rehab assignment Rodgers (hamstring) went through a full workout Monday at Coors Field and the Rockies are still deciding whether he needs a rehab assignment before being activated, Patrick Lyons o...

Impact Rodgers resumed baseball activities a few days ago and it appears he's continued to progress without issue. He's eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, and while there's no indication he'll return on that date, it doesn't appear to have been ruled out. Adael Amador has been filling in for Rodgers at second base but is likely to be sent back to Double-A Hartford once Rodgers is ready.

Lands on IL with shoulder strain The Rockies placed Rogers on the 15-day injured list Monday with a left shoulder rotator cuff strain, retroactive to June 14.

Sitting out Monday Blackmon is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Dodgers.

Impact Blackmon has been scorching hot over the last 11 games in slashing .400/.460/.600, but he'll receive a day off as the Dodgers send lefty James Paxton to the bump. Hunter Goodman is at designated hitter and Brenton Doyle has been elevated to the leadoff spot.

Activated from injured list The Rockies reinstated Lawrence from the 15-day injured list Monday.

Impact Lawrence landed on the injured list May 27 with a right shoulder strain. He didn't look particularly good in his lone rehab appearance with Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, allowing two runs on three hits one walk while registering one out and taking the loss, but the 29-year-old right-hander will return to Colorado's bullpen ahead of Monday's game against the Dodgers. Prior to his injury, Lawrence registered a 5.91 ERA and 1.83 WHIP over 21.1 innings.

Reinstated off IL The Rockies reinstated Bird (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

Impact Bird landed on the injured list May 19 due to right elbow inflammation. Over his last two rehab appearances with Triple-A Albuquerque, Bird allowed no runs on no hits and one walk while striking out three over two innings. The 28-year-old right-hander will rejoin the Rockies' bullpen and will be available for the start of their four-game series Monday against the Dodgers.

Not yet running Diaz (calf) hasn't resumed running since landing on the 10-day injured list Friday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Diaz is no longer walking with a limp, but he hasn't yet made enough progress in his recovery from a left calf strain to resume on-field work. The veteran backstop is without a clear target date for a return from the IL, and fantasy managers shouldn't count on him returning at any point during the Rockies' upcoming seven-game week.
