Heads to IL Tapia (toe) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right big toe strain.
Impact Tapia had been hot at the plate, hitting .390 in his last 41 at-bats before exiting Sunday's contest with the toe injury. It's unclear how long he'll spend on the IL and, further, if he'll require a rehab assignment before returning. Taylor Motter was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

CAUGUST 8, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Toe injury flares up Tapia was removed from Sunday's win over the Marlins due to a sprained big toe, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Tapia went hitless in his lone at-bat to begin Sunday's contest, and he was replaced by a pinch hitter in the bottom of the second inning. The left fielder missed two games last weekend due to his toe injury, and manager Bud Black said Sunday that the 27-year-old will be evaluated to make sure he isn't dealing with more than a sprain.

Doubles twice in loss Tapia went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and a run scored Wednesday in the Rockies' 3-2 loss to the Cubs.
Impact In addition to his accomplishments at the plate, Tapia nearly saved the game for the Rockies on the defensive end. Unfortunately for Tapia, he was unable to secure a deep fly ball to left field off the bat of Patrick Wisdom, with the ball falling out of his glove when he made contact with the fence to go for a bases-clearing double. The three-run hit proved to be the difference in the game. Tapia is hitting well over his past nine games with a 1.002 OPS, four RBI, seven runs and three stolen bases.

Pads stolen-base total Sunday Tapia went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and a pair of stolen bases in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Tapia relied mostly on his legs to help manufacture the game's first run in the top of the first inning. After drawing a leadoff walk on five pitches, Tapia stole second base, advanced to third on a Brendan Rodgers groundout and then came around to score on Trevor Story's base hit. The outfielder would add his second steal of the game following his infield single in the fifth inning, bringing his stolen base total up to 18 on the season. That output doubles up Tapia's next-best mark from any of his first five years in the big leagues.
