Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Moved up to two hole

Doyle will start in center field and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Doyle has been in the No. 9 spot in the batting order more than any other this season and had yet to hit higher than sixth prior to Wednesday. His move up the order is in part due to injuries (Kris Bryant, Brendan Rodgers) and days off (Charlie Blackmon, Nolan Jones), in addition to the fact that the Rockies are facing a lefty pitcher (Cristopher Sanchez). Nonetheless, Doyle has also earned the move up the lineup by slashing .292/.333/.508 with three home runs over his first 18 games this season.
