Rockies' Chris Flexen: Picks up another start
Flexen is scheduled to start Friday's series opener with the Cardinals at Busch Stadium.
Despite walking six batters and giving up four hits -- including two home runs -- while failing to escape the fourth inning in his first start with Colorado last week against Oakland, the veteran right-hander will get another turn through the rotation. Even though the Rockies aren't teeming with appealing alternatives in the rotation, Flexen may still have a short leash with the big club if he fails to show any notable improvement this weekend. He'll at least have the benefit of pitching in a more pitcher-friendly venue in St. Louis after his Rockies debut came at Coors Field.

Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Falls to San Diego
Freeland (4-12) took the loss Wednesday, allowing four runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings against the Padres. He struck out six.
Freeland was done in by the long ball Wednesday -- all four runs against him came via home runs. The 30-year-old southpaw is still looking for his first win since May 14. Freeland's now 0-8 with a 6.28 ERA over his last 12 starts (61.2 innings). Overall, his ERA is up to 4.86 with a 1.47 WHIP and 72:35 K:BB across 21 starts (113 innings) this season.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Path to playing time clears up
Doyle will start in center field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Padres.
Doyle had already been seeing fairly steady playing time in the outfield since the All-Star break in the absence of both Charlie Blackmon (hand) and Kris Bryant (finger), but the Rockies' recent trade of Randal Grichuk to the Angels should free up center field for Doyle even when Blackmon and Bryant return to action. Doyle will man center for a fourth consecutive game, even while he remains in an extended funk at the plate. Thus far in the second half, Doyle is hitting just .133/.204/.244 with one home run and two stolen bases while striking out at a 42.9 percent clip.

Rockies' Harold Castro: Likely headed for utility role
Castro is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
The 29-year-old has filled the strong side of a platoon at second base for most of the season, but he'll likely transition into a utility role after Brendan Rodgers made his return from the 60-day injured list Monday. The lefty-hitting Castro is on the bench for a second straight day, even with the Padres bringing a right-hander (Nick Martinez) to the hill.

Rockies' Elias Diaz: Resting Wednesday
Diaz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
Diaz will head to the bench for the matinee game after he drew starts behind the plate Monday and Tuesday. He smacked three doubles in Tuesday's 8-5 loss, but the 32-year-old catcher has hit just one home run over his last 27 games.

Rockies' Michael Toglia: Takes hold of everyday role
Toglia will start in right field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Padres.
With the Rockies moving first baseman C.J. Cron and outfielder Randal Grichuk ahead of the trade deadline, Toglia appears to be temporarily locked into an everyday role, at least until Colorado gets the likes of Charlie Blackmon (hand) and Kris Bryant (finger) back from the injured list. Toglia will pick up his fifth straight start Wednesday and his 10th start in the last 11 games. He's hitting just .194 with two extra-base hits over his last 10 contests.

Rockies' Jurickson Profar: Productive in loss
Profar went 3-for-5 with two runs scored Tuesday against the Padres.
Profar collected his fourth multi-hit effort in his last 10 games, during which he's also managed six runs scored and four RBI. Even though he's served as the Rockies' primary leadoff hitter for most of the season, Profar has little to offer in terms of fantasy value, as he has only a .127 ISO with one stolen base across 413 plate appearances.

Rockies' Peter Lambert: Comes back to earth
Lambert (2-2) took the loss Tuesday, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks over 4.1 innings against the Padres. He struck out two.
Lambert entered Tuesday's start not having allowed a single earned run over his last 15 innings, and he'd surrendered just one run when he was pulled from the contest. However, he left the bases loaded when he exited the game and all three runners eventually came around to score, saddling him with a fairly busy line. With four starts under his belt, Lambert owns a 1.96 ERA and a 9:5 K:BB through 18.1 innings as part of the Rockies' rotation. He's tentatively scheduled to make another start in Milwaukee early next week.

Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Crushes another homer
McMahon went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 8-5 loss against the Padres.
McMahon went yard for a second consecutive contest, tagging reliever Steven Wilson for a three-run shot in the seventh that scored Jurickson Profar and Ezequiel Tovar. The third baseman has posted multiple hits in five of his last seven games and has logged an extra-base hit in four consecutive contests. Across his last seven appearances, McMahon is batting 11-for-28 (.393) with three homers, 10 RBI and six runs scored.

Rockies' Nolan Jones: Back in lineup Tuesday
Jones (cramps) is back in the lineup Tuesday versus the Padres.
Jones will start in right field and bat sixth for the Rockies after making an early exit from Monday's series opener due to some mild cramping. The 25-year-old has posted an impressive .836 OPS with nine homers and seven steals through 50 major-league games this season.

Rockies' Tyler Kinley: Activated from 60-day IL
Colorado activated Kinley (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
Finally recovered from his June 2022 flexor tendon surgery, Kinley will join the Rockies bullpen ahead of Tuesday's game against the Padres. He got hammered in his first minor-league rehab appearance back in early July but rallied for a 3.68 ERA and 9:1 K:BB over his next seven outings covering 7.1 innings. Prior to going under the knife last season, Kinley was a valuable setup man for Colorado, compiling a 0.75 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 27:6 K:BB in 24 innings.

Rockies' Elehuris Montero: Reaches base three times in win
Montero went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, and an RBI in Monday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Padres.
Montero was making his third start in six games since being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque last Wednesday. Though Michael Toglia is expected to get the first opportunity to serve as the Rockies' primary first baseman following the recent trade of C.J. Cron to the Angels, Montero drew the starting nod Monday while Toglia shifted to the corner outfield as a replacement for Nolan Jones, who is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Toglia and Jones will have clearer paths to everyday roles moving forward, but Montero may end up settling in as the Rockies' top option at designated hitter. In addition to Cron, the Rockies also recently traded away another everyday player in Randal Grichuk, and two more lineup regulars in Charlie Blackmon (hand) and Kris Bryant (finger) remain on the injured list and are without clear target dates to return.

Rockies' Justin Bruihl: Traded to Colorado
Colorado acquired Bruihl from the Dodgers on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Bruihl was designated for assignment by the Dodgers last Friday, having logged a 4.07 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB through 24.1 major-league innings on the season. The 26-year-old left-hander could soon join the Rockies' big-league bullpen after they traded Brad Hand to Atlanta on Tuesday. For now, though, Bruihl will be stationed at Triple-A Albuquerque.

Rockies' Alec Barger: Shipped to Colorado
Barger was traded from Atlanta to Colorado on Tuesday in exchange for Brad Hand, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
A 25-year-old relief pitcher at Double-A, Barger is a low-end prospect, but he does have 11 minor-league saves over the past three years. Barger logged a 3.29 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, 48 strikeouts, 21 walks and five saves in 38.1 innings this season.

Rockies' Charlie Blackmon: Not ready for rehab games
Blackmon (hand) is no longer scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Albuquerque, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Blackmon did some pregame activities with the Rockies on Monday and apparently still felt some lingering discomfort in the right hand that he fractured back in June. The severity of the setback is not yet known, but it's safe to say there is no longer a set timetable for the veteran's return to the active major-league roster in Colorado.
