Draws first start of season Rengifo is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners, batting ninth and playing second base.
Impact Rengifo was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday after dealing with a hamstring injury suffered in during summer camp in mid-July. The 23-year-old was going to have a tough time finding consistent playing time in the Halos' crowded infield, but with Andrelton Simmons placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Rengifo will likely see his fair share of time at the keystone in the coming days as David Fletcher shifts to shortstop.

Officially activated Rengifo (hamstring) was reinstated from the injured list Tuesday.
Impact Andrelton Simmons (ankle) was placed on the 10-day IL in a subsequent move, clearing room for Rengifo on the 30-man roster. David Fletcher figures to get most of the starts at shortstop in Simmons' stead, though Rengifo could see time at the middle-infield positions on occasion.

Over his last three contests, the 26-year-old has collected eight hits and three walks in 14 plate appearances.

Remains out Tuesday Simmons (ankle) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.
Impact The 30-year-old exited Monday's contest after suffering the left ankle injury while running out an infield hit.

David Fletcher is starting at shortstop Tuesday and is the likely candidate to remain there while Simmons is sidelined.
