Charlie Blackmon - Lifts solo shot in loss Blackmon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 9-8 loss to the Marlins.

Impact Blackmon led off the bottom of the first inning with a solo shot, and he scored again in the second on Ezequiel Tovar's second homer of the contest. Blackmon went just 2-for-18 over five games during the Rockies' road trip last week. He's now at nine homers and 41 RBI this season, surpassing his totals from 2023 in both categories while adding a .249/.323/.391 slash line, 50 runs scored and five stolen bases over 100 games in 2024.

Ezequiel Tovar - Bounces back in big way Tovar went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double and four total RBI in Tuesday's 9-8 loss to the Marlins.

Impact Tovar had just one homer while batting .178 over his first 21 games in August. He sat out Monday due to a sports hernia, and it appears the rest did him some good, though it helps the Rockies are facing the Marlins. Tovar is up to 21 homers, 59 RBI, 71 runs scored, four stolen bases, 38 doubles and a .274/.298/.470 slash line through 128 contests overall. It wouldn't be surprising for Tovar to see more regular rest days if his sports hernia flares up again.

Cal Quantrill - Walks five in no-decision Quantrill allowed four runs on seven hits and five walks while striking out two over 5.2 innings to take a no-decision versus the Marlins on Tuesday.

Impact The five walks matched his season high. Quantrill exited in line for the win, but the Rockies' ninth-inning collapse denied him his ninth victory. The veteran right-hander has allowed 25 runs (24 earned) over 35.2 innings since the All-Star break, and he's posted a 25:18 K:BB in that span. He's now at a 4.63 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 103:57 K:BB through 138 innings over 26 starts this year. Quantrill's next start is projected to be at home this weekend versus the Orioles.

Nolan Jones - Absent from lineup Jones is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Marlins.

Impact It looks to be a routine day off for Jones, who is just 5-for-25 at the plate since coming off the injured list a week ago. Jordan Beck will patrol left field for the Rockies on Tuesday.

Brenton Doyle - Held out of lineup again Doyle (leg) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Marlins.

Impact Doyle was scratched from Monday's lineup due to what the Rockies vaguely referred to as leg soreness and he's still not feeling up to playing just yet. Sam Hilliard is getting another start in center field in Doyle's stead.

AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE

Ezequiel Tovar - Back in action Tuesday Tovar (sports hernia) will start at shortstop and bat second in Tuesday's game versus the Marlins.

Impact Tovar missed Monday's game while dealing with a sports hernia, but it wound up being just a one-day absence. The 23-year-old has struggled so far in August with just a .482 OPS.

Ryan McMahon - Swats decisive homer McMahon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 win against Miami.

Impact McMahon had the only extra-base hit by either team in the contest, and it was a big one, as his sixth-inning, 438-foot solo shot broke a 2-2 tie and ended up providing the decisive margin of victory. The long ball snapped a 20-game homerless streak for the infielder, and he had batted a meager .155 with a 31.3 percent strikeout rate during the power drought. McMahon now has 17 home runs overall this season, putting him on pace to reach the 20-homer mark for the fourth consecutive campaign.

Tyler Kinley - Secures save Monday Kinley earned a save against the Marlins on Monday, striking out two batters in a perfect ninth inning.

Impact Kinley was called upon with Colorado holding a slim one-run lead in the ninth frame, and he cruised with a 1-2-3 inning on 15 pitches (11 of which were strikes). The righty reliever claimed his first save since Aug. 1 and his seventh in eight chances this season. Kinley has worked primarily in a setup role for most of August, but he could be in line for at least short-term save opportunities with Victor Vodnik (biceps) landing on the injured list last week.

AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan Feltner - Tosses five frames in return Feltner allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out two batters over five innings in a no-decision against Miami on Monday.

Impact Feltner pitched for the Rockies for the first time since landing on the injured list with a right shoulder strain Aug. 8. The right-hander was able to go five innings and throw 71 pitches in his return, and he got through four scoreless frames before faltering by allowing two runs in the fifth. Feltner notched only six whiffs and posted just two punchouts, but he didn't give up any extra-base hits. He's allowed three or fewer earned runs in each of his past nine starts, though his 36:19 K:BB across 46.2 innings during that stretch isn't very impressive.

Ezequiel Tovar - Expected back Tuesday Tovar, who was given the day off Monday while dealing with a sports hernia, is expected to be in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Patrick Lyons of JustBa...

Impact The Rockies failed to disclose much about Tovar's ailment prior to this point, which could be one of the causes for his struggles at the dish so far in August. However, the issue shouldn't force the 23-year-old shortstop to miss additional time assuming he feels ready to play ahead of Tuesday's matchup.

AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE

Brenton Doyle - Might need more time off Doyle (leg) could need another day or two off after being scratched from Monday's lineup against the Marlins, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Impact Doyle's injury doesn't appear to be overly serious, but the club seems content to hold him out a day or two longer to ensure he's at 100 percent before taking the field. Sam Hilliard, who drew the start in center field Monday and Jordan Beck are the likely candidates for playing time until Doyle is cleared to return.
