Coors Field, Denver, CO

Trevor Story - On track for Tuesday returnStory (elbow) threw on the field Friday and remains on track to return from the injured list Tuesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

ImpactStory is set to miss one day more than the minimum with his right elbow inflammation, as the Rockies don't play Monday, the first day he'd be eligible to return. Brendan Rodgers has handled shortstop in his absence, but Story should return to his everyday role once healthy.

Dom Nuñez - Remains on benchNunez will sit for the second straight game Friday against Oakland, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

ImpactNunez has handled the majority of the starts against righties this season while sitting against every lefty, but a day off against Frankie Montas on Friday means he's now sat twice in a row against right-handers. Whether he's dealing with a minor injury or has simply fallen out of favor is not yet clear. The latter would certainly make some sense, as he's gone 3-for-40 with 21 strikeouts in his last 15 games. Elias Diaz will make another start behind the plate in his absence.

Ryan McMahon - Remains sidelinedMcMahon (groin) will sit for the second straight game Friday against the Athletics, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

ImpactThe Rockies described McMahon's left groin strain as "very minor" when he was held out of the lineup Thursday, but it's evidently significant enough that he'll sit for a second straight game. Garrett Hampson will again handle second base in his absence.

Brock Holt - Sitting FridayHolt is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays.

ImpactHolt has started just twice against a lefty all season, so it's no surprise to see him on the bench against southpaw Josh Fleming. Charlie Culberson will handle the hot corner in his absence.

Hunter Wood - Shifts to 60-day injured listWood (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

ImpactWood hit the 10-day injured list in late May with an elbow issue which has since been diagnosed as a mild UCL sprain. The injury is evidently serious enough to keep him out for at least two months, so he won't return until late July at the earliest. The transaction clears a spot on the Rangers' 40-man roster for the team to claim Tyson Miller off waivees.

Wes Benjamin - Sent to minorsBenjamin was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.

ImpactBenjamin has already spent three separate stints on the Rangers' roster this season. He's struggled to an 8.76 ERA, 2.19 WHIP and 11:10 K:BB in 12.1 innings, so it's perhaps no surprise that he's failed to stick around on a permanent basis. Kyle Gibson (groin) returned from the injured list in a corresponding move.
