YONATHAN DAZA NEWS

Losing work to Sam Hilliard Daza is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Before he was placed on the COVID-19 injured list coming out of the All-Star break, Daza had been the Rockies' clear-cut starter in center field, but he appears to have moved into a reserve role in the outfield since being activated Aug. 1. He's started just twice in seven games upon returning to the active roster, with the hot-hitting Sam Hilliard seemingly emerging as the team's preferred option in center.

Back on bench Friday Daza is not starting Friday against the Marlins.

Impact Daza has started just one game since being activated from the COVID-19 injured list Sunday, so it appears that Sam Hilliard could be overtaking him as the primary center fielder.

Ready for sim game Daza (COVID-19 injured list) is scheduled to play in a simulated game Tuesday at the Rockies' spring training facility in Arizona, the Associated Press reports.

Impact One of four Rockies placed on the COVID-19 IL on July 16, Daza has cleared all the health and safety protocols and now looks to be in the process of regaining his conditioning following the shutdown. The Rockies haven't revealed whether Daza will require a minor-league rehab assignment before being activated, so he would seem to have a shot at rejoining the big club as soon as this weekend. Garrett Hampson has been serving as Colorado's primary center fielder while Daza has been on the shelf.
