Harold Castro - Idle versus southpawCastro is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.

ImpactWith lefty Brandon Williamson on the bump for Cincinnati, the lefty-hitting Castro will take a seat for the series opener. Coco Montes will fill in at second base for Castro, who still appears to have a hold on a strong-side platoon role.

Connor Kaiser - Gets first MLB call-upThe Rockies selected Kaiser's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

ImpactThe 26-year-old will reach the big leagues for the first time in his career, joining the Rockies' 26-man active roster to provide added depth in the infield while shortstop Ezequiel Tovar (personal) is on the paternity list. Colorado will most likely send Kaiser back to Triple-A on Friday, when Tovar presumably rejoins the team for the start of a homestand.

Ezequiel Tovar - Goes on paternity leaveThe Rockies placed Tovar (personal) on the paternity list Monday.

ImpactTovar was removed late in Sunday's 14-6 loss to Atlanta after receiving word that his wife went into labor, so his move to the paternity list comes as little surprise. Expect the rookie shortstop to miss the entirety of the Rockies' three-game series in Cincinnati to open the week before likely rejoining team Friday for the start of a homestand. Colorado called up infielder Connor Kaiser from Triple-A Albuquerque to replace Tovar on the 26-man active roster.
