Charlie Blackmon - On bench again Tuesday Blackmon is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Atlanta.

Impact Blackmon has seen his playing time taper off lately, as this is the second game in a row and the sixth time over the last 12 contests that he's been on the bench. Part of the reasoning behind fewer starts for the 38-year-old is getting more of a look at younger players. However, with lefty Chris Sale on the bump for Atlanta, there's a decent chance Blackmon would have sat out regardless of the circumstances. Drew Romo will get a start at designated hitter Tuesday.

Nolan Jones - Sitting versus southpaw Jones is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Atlanta.

Impact With southpaw Chris Sale taking the ball for Atlanta, the left-handed hitting Jones will begin this one on the bench. Jordan Beck will patrol left field for the Rockies in the series opener.

SEPTEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan McMahon - Out against left-hander McMahon is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Atlanta.

Impact It's lefty Chris Sale on the bump for Atlanta, so it's a good spot for the left-handed hitting McMahon to get a breather. Aaron Schunk will play third base and bat ninth for the Rockies.

Victor Vodnik - Nearing return Vodnik (biceps) has an "aggressive" side session scheduled for Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Vodnik threw for the first time since landing on the injured list Saturday and should be throwing at full strength Tuesday. Depending on how that session goes, Vodnik could either be activated or be sent on a brief rehab assignment.

Ty Blach - Coughs up five runs Blach (3-7) yielded five runs on five hits and two walks over four innings Sunday, striking out one and taking a loss against Baltimore.

Impact Blach was promoted from Triple-A Albuquerque for his first MLB appearance since July 26. He gave up one run through three innings before Baltimore's four-run fourth frame, capped off by James McCann's two-run blast. Blach now owns a 6.65 ERA with a 35:18 K:BB through 67.2 innings with Colorado this season. He's currently scheduled to start in Milwaukee next weekend but it's unclear if he'll get another turn in the rotation.

Noah Davis - Pushed off 40-man roster The Rockies outrighted Davis off the 40-man roster Sunday.

Impact The Rockies optioned Davis to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, and though the team never made a formal announcement that he was designated for assignment, he must have been exposed to waivers at some point prior to Sunday. After going unclaimed, Davis will stick around in the organization as a member of the pitching staff at Albuquerque, where he'll most likely serve as a swingman. Davis had pitched out of the bullpen for Colorado prior to his recent demotion, logging a 5.75 ERA and 1.87 WHIP in 20.1 innings.

Evan Justice - Promoted to majors The Rockies recalled Justice from Triple-A Albuquerque ahead of Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Orioles. He faced two batters in relief, striking out one and walking the other.

Impact Justice's brief relief appearance was his first in the big leagues in 2024, as he had been added to the 40-man roster last August but hadn't received a call-up from Triple-A this season after being optioned to the minors coming out of spring training. The lefty reliever submitted a 9.90 ERA, 2.50 WHIP and 21:29 K:BB in 20 innings at Albuquerque this season, but he had given up just one earned run in his last seven outings prior to getting called up.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Hunter Goodman - Back with big club The Rockies recalled Goodman from Triple-A Albuquerque prior to Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Orioles. He came off the bench and struck out in his lone pinch-hit appearance.

Impact While he's up with the big club, Goodman will provide the Rockies with a third catcher as well as a potential platoon mate in the corner outfield or at designated hitter for left-handed-hitting regulars Nolan Jones and Charlie Blackmon. Goodman is batting just .176 with eight home runs and a 29.4 percent strikeout rate in the majors this season.

Cal Quantrill - Lands on IL The Rockies placed Quantrill (tricep) on the 15-day injured list Sunday.

Impact Quantrill had been in line to start Sunday's series finale with the Orioles at Coors Field, but he was scratched a day in advance after experiencing right triceps inflammation. According to Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com, Quantrill's injury isn't considered significant, with manager Bud Black noting that the right-hander is expected to return from the IL before the end of September. Ty Blach was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque to fill Quantrill's spot on the active roster and in the rotation.

Ty Blach - Called up ahead of start The Rockies selected Blach's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Orioles.

Impact Colorado placed right-hander Cal Quantrill (tricep) on the 15-day injured list to open up room on the 28-man active roster and in the rotation for Blach. The soft-tossing southpaw has previously made 18 appearances (10 starts) for Colorado this season, pitching to a 3-6 record with a 6.36 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 34:16 K:BB in 63.2 innings.
