Ezequiel Tovar - Drives in two Tovar went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI on Saturday against the Blue Jays.
Impact Aided by Coors Field, Tovar has had a nice start to Colorado's current homestand, as he has collected six hits across 23 at-bats while tallying three doubles and four RBI. He's also been on a nice power surge overall, racking up five homers and six doubles across hisl last 33 games. Despite some of his strong numbers of late, Tovar still has plenty of holes in his skill profile, as illustrated by his .309 wOBA and 78 wRC+ across 509 plate appearances on the season.

Justin Lawrence - Can't convert save chance Lawrence allowed two earned runs on three walks and a hit while striking out one across 0.2 innings Saturday against the Blue Jays.
Impact Lawrence entered the game to start the ninth inning with a three-run lead but failed to convert the save. He allowed six batters to reach base, four of which came via either walk or hit by pitch, and he was pulled with the bases loaded and a one-run lead still intact. Tyler Kinley ultimately came on to convert the save, and Lawrence's grip on the closer role could be in danger given that he's allowed 14 earned runs across 18.1 frames and 18 appearances since the All-Star break.
SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Charlie Blackmon - Gets on base four times Blackmon went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and three RBI in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Blue Jays.
Impact Blackmon hit safely in 13 of 14 games after returning from a hand injury, but he'd gone 0-for-6 with two walks over his last two contests. The 37-year-old outfielder was able to make an impact out of the leadoff spot Saturday, and he continues to be one of the Rockies' top hitters. For the season, he's at a .292/.383/.458 slash line with seven home runs, 35 RBI, 47 runs scored and one steal through 73 contests.

Tyler Kinley - Earns first save Kinley struck out the only batter he faced to earn the save in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Blue Jays.
Impact Kinley wasn't initially brought in for the save chance, but Justin Lawrence gave up two runs and left with the bases loaded. Kinley was able to strike out Spencer Horwitz to end the threat, earning his first save since 2019 in the process. This was Kinley's first appearance since Aug. 16 after a bout of elbow inflammation. The right-hander has a 9.00 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and 9:3 K:BB through six innings this season. While he hasn't pitched much, it's unlikely he gets a lot of high-leverage looks until he can prove himself.
SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ty Blach - Yields five runs in win Blach (2-1) allowed five runs on nine hits and three walks and struck out two over six innings to earn the win over the Blue Jays on Saturday.
Impact Blach didn't pitch all that well, but he was able to limit the damage to the first two innings. That gave the Rockies enough time to rally ahead and get him off the hook. Blach had a pair of quality starts in August, but the five runs he allowed Saturday marked a season high. Through 15 appearances (eight starts), he has a 4.33 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 28:15 K:BB over 54 innings. The southpaw is projected to make his next start in San Francisco.

Hunter Goodman - Gets breather Saturday Goodman isn't in the Rockies' lineup Saturday against Toronto, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.
Impact Goodman will take a seat Saturday after starting his big-league career 6-for-18 with three RBI through five games. Elehuris Montero will draw the start at first base and bat eighth.

Ryan Feltner - Strikes out three in rehab start Feltner (head) struck out three and gave up one earned run on three hits and no walks over three innings in his rehab start Friday for High-A Spokane.
Impact Feltner returned to the mound Friday for the first time since he suffered a skull fracture and major concussion when he was struck in the head by a line drive in a May 13 start against the Phillies. Because he's been on the shelf for three and a half months, Feltner will require multiple rehab outings to get stretched back out for starting duty, but the right-hander appears on track to return from the 60-day injured list before season's end.

Chase Anderson - Could be activated to start Sunday Rockies manager Bud Black said Friday that Anderson (shoulder) could be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday's game versus the Blue Jays at Coors Field, MLB.com r...
Impact The Rockies have an opening in their rotation for the series finale with Toronto with Austin Gomber (back) unavailable to start on five days' rest, and Anderson looks like the top option to fill the void after making his second rehab start with Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday. In that rehab start, Anderson struck out one while allowing no runs on two hits and four walks over three innings. Anderson covered 64 pitches Tuesday, so he should be able to give the Rockies something close to a typical starter's workload if he gets activated for Sunday's game.

Brenton Doyle - In midst of slump Doyle went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored Friday against the Blue Jays.
Impact Doyle entered the game hitless across his last three starts and managed to snap that stretch with a double in the ninth inning. However, he's still failed to record a multi-hit game across his last 22 starts dating back to Aug. 7. In that span, he's hit only .128, yet he's maintained consistent playing time in center field.
SEPTEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Elehuris Montero - Gets back into lineup Montero went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored Friday against the Blue Jays.
Impact Montero had been the odd man out in the competition with Michael Toglia and Hunter Goodman for plate appearances, sitting out the past five games. However, he replaced Toglia on Friday and delivered a two-run homer in the third inning. Montero has displayed an all-or-nothing skillset, as he has three homers in his last 13 games but has struck out at a 32.6 percent clip as well.
