Serves up three homers to Dodgers Senzatela (1-2) was charged with five runs (four earned) on five hits over 2.2 innings in a loss to the Dodgers on Tuesday. He struck out two and walked two batters.
Impact Los Angeles played long ball early, with Corey Seager, Chris Taylor and Mookie Betts all going yard against Senzatela in the first three innings. Senzatela has drawn the defending champs twice in his first three starts of 2021 and the Dodgers have crushed him both times, but in between the right-hander shut out the Diamondbacks over eight innings at Coors Field. He will take a 7.07 ERA into a home matchup against the Mets on Sunday.

Signs MiLB deal Rusin signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies on Monday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Impact Rusin was with the Rockies from 2015 to 2019, but he spent most of the 2020 campaign with Atlanta before he was released in September. The southpaw has made just three relief appearances in the past two seasons but could be an option to fill in as bullpen depth at some point in 2021.

Signs with Rockies Nova signed a contract with the Rockies on Monday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Impact Nova was let go by the Phillies at the end of spring training after he posted a 7.30 ERA and 1.95 WHIP with six strikeouts in 12.1 innings this spring. Starter Kyle Freeland (shoulder) is currently sidelined and doesn't yet have a timetable to return, but it's not clear whether Nova's agreement is a major-league contract or whether he'll be ready to pitch for his new team right away. Nova made four starts for the Tigers in 2020 before he was shut down due to right triceps tendinitis, and he posted an 8.53 ERA and 1.63 WHIP in 19 innings.

Strikes out seven in loss Marquez (0-1) allowed three runs on six hits and three walks while striking out seven over 5.2 innings of work in a loss to the Giants on Sunday.
Impact The righty was one out away from recording a quality start as he failed to escape the sixth inning. The 26-year-old threw only 60 of his 97 pitches for strikes, with his final earned run allowed being on a homer to Brandon Belt in the sixth. Marquez is still looking to find his groove this season and his next opportunity to take the rubber will be on Saturday against the Mets.

X-rays negative on thumb Rockies manager Bud Black said Sunday that X-rays on Owings' sprained left thumb returned negative, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Owings' thumb injury was still significant enough for him to land on the 10-day injured list Saturday, but the Rockies are seemingly hopeful he'll avoid a lengthy absence. Black said that Owings will still receive a precautionary MRI next weekend when the Rockies return to Denver.

Fifth straight turn in leadoff spot Hampson will bat leadoff and man second base Sunday against the Giants, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.
Impact After hitting eighth Opening Day, Hampson has now batted first or second in the order in eight consecutive contests, including five straight turns out of the leadoff spot. The promotion up the batting order has provided Hampson with more running opportunities, with the 26-year-old going 4-for-5 in his stolen-base attempts on the season. Hampson is still sitting on a rather underwhelming .324 on-base average for the season, so he may need to show improvement at the plate to ensure he sticks atop the lineup for an extended period.

Not starting Sunday Cron is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.
Impact Josh Fuentes will take over at first base while Cron sits for the second time in less than a week. Following a productive spring training, Cron has struggled to get going at the plate, despite making six of his eight starts at Coors Field. Cron has recorded four hits -- two doubles and two singles -- while striking out 11 times in 27 at-bats.

Losing playing time Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.
Impact On the bench for the sixth time in 10 games to begin the season, Diaz appears to behind Dom Nunez on the Rockies' depth chart at catcher. Diaz is off to a 2-for-18 start at the plate while Nunez has gone 4-for-17 with three home runs, so Diaz doesn't appear likely to claim the No. 1 role anytime soon.
