Randal Grichuk - Taking seat MondayGrichuk is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.
ImpactGrichuk will cede his spot in the outfield to hot-hitting rookie Brenton Doyle in the series opener, but the former still looks to be fairly secure in a near-everyday role. Since returning from a season-opening stint on the injured list April 29, Grichuk has posted a 1.077 OPS across 31 plate appearances.

C.J. Cron - Breather MondayCron will sit Monday versus the Pirates, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
ImpactCron will head to the bench Monday as the Rockies start a three-game series in Pittsburgh. The 33-year-old has gone 4-for-20 with two doubles, two runs scored and six walks while striking out four times over six games in the month of May. Mike Moustakas will replace him at first base and bat sixth in the series opener with the Pirates.

Brenton Doyle - Collects third straight startDoyle will start in center field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Pirates.
ImpactThough the Rockies are expected to have Kris Bryant, Charlie Blackmon, Randal Grichuk and Jurickson Profar fill out their designated-hitter and three outfield spots on most occasions, Doyle may at least temporarily factor into the mix while he's swinging a hot bat. After going 3-for-5 with a home run, a stolen base, three RBI and two additional runs in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Mets, Doyle will draw his third consecutive start. Grichuk will head to the bench to open up a spot for the rookie.

Yonathan Daza - Goes unclaimedDaza was outrighted to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday after clearing waivers.
ImpactDaza owns a 75 wRC+ across 924 big-league plate appearances and has graded out as an average-to-below-average defender in the outfield over the past two seasons, so it's not overly surprising that none of the league's other 29 teams were willing to put in a waiver claim for him. He'll stick in the Colorado organization and could face a more difficult path back to the big leagues now that he's no longer a member of the Rockies' 40-man roster.
