Impact McMahon was in the lineup and hit cleanup for the first game, but had a forgettable 0-for-5 performance with five strikeouts. Alan Trejo will take over at third base while hitting eighth in the second contest.

Rockies place RHP Peter Lambert (biceps) on 15-day IL The Colorado Rockies placed right-hander Peter Lambert on the 15-day injured list on Saturday with right biceps tendinitis.
SEPTEMBER 16, 2023 • SACBEE.COM
Karl Kauffmann - Recalled by Rockies Kauffmann was called up by the Rockies on Saturday.
Impact Peter Lambert (biceps) hit the injured list in a corresponding move, so it's possible Kauffmann takes Lambert's place in the rotation down the stretch. He isn't the scheduled starter for either half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Giants, but he could potentially appear in a multi-inning relief role.

Peter Lambert - Out with biceps tendinitis Lambert was placed on the 15-day injured list with right biceps tendinitis Saturday.
Impact Lambert technically has time to return before the end of the season, but the timing of the injury makes it quickly likely that he's done for the year. If that's the case, he'll end his age-26 season having recorded a 5.36 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across 11 starts and 14 relief appearances. Karl Kauffmann was called up to take his place on the roster.

Charlie Blackmon - Bound for bench Blackmon will be on the bench for the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Giants, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact The veteran outfielder will unsurprisingly not be asked to start two games on one day. Hunter Goodman will handle right field in the afternoon game, but Blackmon could return to the lineup for the nightcap.
SEPTEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Brendan Rodgers - Out for afternoon game Rodgers will sit for the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against San Francisco, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact Rodgers has hit a disappointing .209/.272/.270 in 31 games since returning from shoulder surgery. He could return to the lineup for the nightcap, but for now, it will be Harold Castro who starts at second base.
SEPTEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Brent Suter - Opening afternoon game Suter will be the first pitcher on the mound for the Rockies in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Giants, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact The Rockies haven't officially termed Suter an "opener," nor have they announced which reliever will handle the bulk innings behind him, but it's almost certain that's what this will be, rather than a conventional start. Suter does have starting experience from early in his career, but he hasn't thrown more than two innings in any of his 51 appearances this season.

Chase Anderson - Tosses seven no-hit frames Anderson allowed a run on five walks over seven innings in Friday's win over San Francisco. He struck out seven and did not factor in the decision.
Impact Anderson didn't give up a hit during his seven-inning performance but threw just 53 of 101 pitches for strikes. He coughed up a run in the second inning but followed that by retiring 12 consecutive batters. It was his longest start of the year and he tied his season best with seven punchouts. Despite the terrific start, Anderson still owns a 6.00 ERA with a 57:29 K:BB through 75 frames. He's currently projected to take the mound in San Diego next week.

Justin Lawrence - Exits with ankle injury Lawrence exited Friday's game against the Giants with an ankle injury, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.
Impact Lawrence entered the game in the eighth inning after Chase Anderson worked seven hitless innings. He retired the first batter via strikeout, but he twisted his ankle on the follow-through of a pitch when facing the next hitter. If Lawrence is sidelined for any amount of time, Tyler Kinley should see the majority of save chances.

Hunter Goodman - Not starting Friday Goodman isn't in the Rockies' lineup Friday against San Francisco, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.
Impact Goodman was absent from Colorado's lineup before Thursday's game was rained out, and he'll remain on the bench when the series officially begins Friday. Nolan Jones, Brenton Doyle and Charlie Blackmon will make up the Rockies' outfield while Goodman sits.

Daniel Bard - Faces hitters Bard (forearm) threw a live batting practice Friday, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.
Impact Bard resumed throwing Sept. 5 -- two days after he landed on the injured list with right forearm fatigue -- and has now progressed to facing live hitters. Bard likely won't return from the IL when eligible Monday, but manager Bud Black said he expects Bard to return before the end of the season.

Cole Tucker - Outrighted to Triple-A Tucker cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.
Impact It's the second time Tucker has been designated for assignment and subsequently outrighted by the Rockies. It appears he has decided to remain in the organization rather than elect free agency.
