8 Gerardo Parra LF

Parra is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Mets.

Parra will sit against the left-handed Jason Vargas, with Noel Cuevas starting in his place. Parra has been on a roll lately, hitting .432 with a 1.002 OPS over his last 13 games.

Parra went 3-for-4 with two doubles, four RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's 13-12 loss to Texas.

Parra had been held without an extra-base hit since June 8 but has still raised his OPS from .699 to .733 since the end of May. The 31-year-old has just three home runs and 26 RBI in 209 at-bats this season, but he's added six stolen bases and a .297 batting average.

Parra is out of the lineup for Saturday's game at Texas, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Parra will head to the bench after starting the last seven games for the Rockies, yielding left field duties to Noel Cuevas. Parra had a rough first month of the season, but has a .331/.362/.427 slash line in 124 at-bats since the start of May, though he has only eight extra-base hits in that stretch.

Parra is not in the lineup versus the Reds on Thursday, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

Mike Tauchman will get a start in left field to spell Parra after the latter went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI during Wednesday's outing. Over 55 games this year, Parra is hitting .279 but has just a .691 OPS with three home runs and 19 RBI.

Parra is not in the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
