Moving into rotation Gonzalez is scheduled to start Saturday's game in San Francisco, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Impact Gonzalez has been working out of the bullpen for the first week of the season while the Rockies' schedule has allowed them to get by with a four-man rotation, but he'll transition into a starting role with Saturday's game marking Colorado's fifth in as many days. Over his 22 outings (16 starts) with the Rockies across parts of the last three seasons, Gonzalez has posted a 5.65 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 5.1 K-BB% in 87.2 innings.

Impact Owings had started four of the first six games of the season, but he exited Wednesday's win over the Diamondbacks due to right hamstring tightness. He's receiving treatment Thursday, and manager Bud Black is optimistic that Owings' injury is a short-term issue, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

Leaves with tight hamstring Rockies manager Bud Black clarified that Owings was removed from Wednesday's 8-0 win over the Diamondbacks due to right hamstring tightness, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post rep...
Impact The club initially announced that Owings was lifted for Sam Hilliard in the top of the sixth inning due to right leg soreness, but Black provided more information about the utility man's injury after the contest. Black was careful to note that Owings isn't dealing with a strain, so his early exit is being labeled precautionary. Before departing, Owings went 3-for-3 with a triple, two doubles, two RBI and a run, strengthening his case for continuing to receive steady at-bats moving forward. Owings has started in four of the Rockies' first six games.

Steals three times in win Hampson went 2-for-3 with two singles, two walks, three steals, an RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 8-0 win over the Diamondbacks.
Impact Hampson stuffed the stat sheet Wednesday, delivering his most complete game in recent memory. The 26-year-old stole second each of the first three times he got on base. Hampson had not stolen a bag this season prior to Wednesday, so it was a pleasant surprise to see him do it three times in one game. He's fared particularly well in the leadoff spot thus far, gathering at least one hit in five of six games while totaling five RBI and six runs.

Bounces back in big way Wednesday Senzatela (1-1) earned his first win of the season Wednesday against the Diamondbacks after tossing eight scoreless innings while allowing just four hits and two walks with three s...
Impact The difference between Senzatela's first outing and this one was night and day. The 26-year-old induced 14 groundball outs and allowed runners to get into scoring position on only three occasions. Despite his first two starts coming at Coors Field, Senzatela has yet to surrender a home run through 11.1 innings. Unfortunately, he doesn't whiff many hitters, as he currently sports a 10.2 percent strikeout rate, so he'll need to continue inducing weak contact to maintain fantasy relevance.

Impact Fuentes was scratched from Sunday's lineup due to left wrist soreness and didn't start in the series opener against Arizona on Tuesday. However, he pinch hit in the 10th inning and knocked in the game-tying run. Fuentes didn't appear to be bothered by his wrist injury while hitting and playing the field Tuesday, and he should be available going forward.

Homers, reaches base three times Hilliard went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two walks in a 13-inning loss to the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
Impact Hilliard smacked a clutch solo homer to right field in the ninth inning to tie the game at five, though Colorado ultimately succumbed in the 13th frame. The 27-year-old has hit two homers on the season but has played only sporadically and has struck out in four of his nine at-bats.
