Peter Lambert - Set for season debutLambert (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
ImpactLambert is expected to make a one-inning start for Albuquerque in what will mark his first appearance in affiliated ball of the season. He missed the entire 2020 campaign and most of the 2021 campaign while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but he was expected to be back at full strength for spring training. However, he battled right forearm inflammation in camp, which ended any hope he had of winning a back-end rotation role with the big club. The Rockies still plan to have Lambert build up for starting duties during his rehab assignment, but he could be optioned to Albuquerque once his rehab window comes to a close.

Sam Hilliard - Sits versus rightyHilliard is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.
ImpactAfter sitting against lefty Alex Wood in Monday's series opener, the lefty-hitting Hilliard now finds himself on the bench versus a righty (Alex Cobb). Hilliard's lowly .169/.282/.323 slash line on the season appears to have cost him a large-side platoon role in the outfield, and playing time could be even harder to come by for the 28-year-old by the weekend, when Kris Bryant (back) is likely to return from the 10-day injured list.

Evan Longoria - On bench TuesdayLongoria is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Colorado, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ImpactLongoria has been back from the injured list for less than a week, so it's no surprise that the Giants don't want him starting on four consecutive days just yet. Wilmer Flores will be the third baseman Tuesday.
