Rockies' Sean Bouchard: Takes seat Thursday
Bouchard is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins.
Bouchard started in right field or at designated hitter in each of the last three games, going 1-for-10 with a run and an RBI. The Rockies have leaned on Bouchard as their primary replacement in the lineup for Kris Bryant (back), but Bouchard's time as a near-everyday player could soon come to an end if he's unable to get going at the plate. Since being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on April 17, Bouchard is slashing .214/.333/.286 over 33 plate appearances.

Rockies' Charlie Blackmon: Resting Thursday
Blackmon is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins.
Blackmon's absence from the lineup looks to be nothing more than routine maintenance while the Rockies and Marlins conclude their series with a day game after a night game. Hunter Goodman will replace Blackmon in the lineup, serving as the Rockies' designated hitter while batting ninth.

Rockies' Elias Diaz: Gets rest for day game
Diaz is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins.
He'll get a well-deserved breather Thursday after starting at catcher or designated hitter in each of the Rockies' last nine games. Jacob Stallings will replace Diaz behind the dish.

Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Ready to resume throwing
Freeland (elbow) will resume throwing in the first week of May, MLB.com reports.
Freeland has been shut down since mid-April, but manager Bud Black relayed that Freeland is responding well to treatment and will begin ramping up his activity. If things go smoothly in his recovery, he could return in late May.

Rockies' Kris Bryant: Still not cleared
Bryant (back) has still not been cleared to return to baseball activity, MLB.com reports.
Bryant has been ramping up his activity but still is not cleared to swing a bat. He hopes to take the next step in his recovery soon, but he remains without a clear timeline to return to the field.

Rockies' Jordan Beck: Starting regularly in left field
Beck went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts Wednesday against the Marlins.
Beck was added to the big-league roster Tuesday and has since made two starts in left field. He collected the first hit of his big-league career in his debut, and he should remain a regular in the lineup so long as Nolan Jones (back) is sidelined. Beck has the potential to be a power and speed producer, as he tallied five home runs and five stolen bases across 121 plate appearances with Triple-A Albuquerque prior to his promotion.

Rockies' Dakota Hudson: Drops to 0-5
Hudson (0-5) took the loss against Miami on Wednesday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two batters over 5.2 innings.
It was a bit of a tough-luck loss for Hudson, as he held the Marlins scoreless until they tagged him for two runs in the fifth inning. The right-hander returned to the mound for the sixth frame and was pulled with two men on base, falling one out shy of a quality start. Despite the loss, this was one of Hudson's better starts this season -- he came in having allowed at least three earned runs in four of his five outings. The veteran hurler is not an attractive fantasy target given his 5.93 ERA and 18:17 K:BB through 30.1 innings on the campaign.

Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Three hits vs. Miami
McMahon went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Marlins.
McMahon got the Rockies on the board with an RBI single in the first inning before driving in a second run with a double in the 10th. The 29-year-old McMahon now has hits in six straight games, going 8-for-23 with two doubles and two home runs in that span, on the heels of a 1-for-14 stretch. His slash line is up to .321/.397/.495 on the season with four homers, 18 RBI and 12 runs scored.

Rockies' Peter Lambert: Picks up another start
Lambert is scheduled to start Thursday's game in Miami.
After making his first start of the season April 21 versus the Mariners, Lambert made his most recent appearance out of the bullpen, as he covered 2.2 innings in long relief on April 25 after starter Dakota Hudson was pulled from the contest midway through the fourth inning. After having off days last Friday and this past Monday, the Rockies were able to temporarily get by with a four-man rotation, but Lambert will return to starting role this week as the team returns to a five-man rotation.

Rockies' Elehuris Montero: Tallies second homer
Montero went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Tuesday against the Marlins.
Montero went yard in his first plate appearance of the game to tally his second homer of the season. After a slow start to the campaign from a results perspective, he has gone 8-for-31 with seven RBI and three runs scored across his last eight contests. Montero's production should continue to tick up as he has maintained a vastly improved 16.8 percent strikeout rate.

Rockies' Justin Lawrence: Stuck with first blown save
Lawrence was tagged with a blown save in Tuesday's loss to the Marlins, allowing two runs on two hits and a walk in one-third of an inning.
After Ryan Feltner allowed the first three Marlins to reach in the ninth, Lawrence would be called upon to protect a 5-1 lead with runners on second and third. The right-hander ultimately recorded just one out, allowing Miami to tie the game 5-5 in his first blown save this season. Lawrence had allowed just one unearned run in his previous five outings, earning saves in his previous two appearances. His ERA is now up to an ugly 7.20 with a 1.80 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB through 10 innings this season. Despite his struggles, Lawrence is still likely the top ninth-inning option in Colorado, though he's unlikely to see a high volume of save chances on a Rockies team that's now 7-22 on the year.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Stumbles in ninth inning Tuesday
Feltner did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits over eight innings. He struck out three.
Felter was dominant for most of Tuesday's outing, blanking the Marlins through eight frames. With the Rockies up 5-0, the 27-year-old Feltner started the ninth inning, eyeing the first complete game of his career. However, he was pulled after allowing the first three batters to reach in the inning before the bullpen imploded, ultimately allowing the Marlins to tie the game and costing Feltner a chance at a win. Despite the disappointing finish, it was an encouraging outing for Feltner overall after he allowed 10 runs over 9.1 innings in his previous two starts. He's 1-2 on the season with a 5.13 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 33:10 K:BB through six starts (33.1 innings).

Rockies' Lucas Gilbreath: Departs 40-man roster
The Rockies transferred Gilbreath (elbow/shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
Gilbreath had seemed close to completing the long road back from Tommy John surgery, but now he's developed a shoulder issue. It's not clear how long he might be out, but he won't be eligible to return until late May.

Rockies' Jordan Beck: Added to big-league roster
The Rockies selected Beck's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.
Beck, 23, has slashed .307/.405/.594 with five home runs and five stolen bases over 121 plate appearances this season with Albuquerque. He has swing-and-miss concerns, but Beck's raw power should certainly play well at Coors Field if he can make enough contact. Beck should receive regular playing time in the corner outfield spots.

Rockies' Nolan Jones: Moves to injured list
The Rockies placed Jones on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to April 29, with a low-back strain.
The 25-year-old was removed from Sunday's game against the Astros after his back injury flared up, and he'll be sidelined for at least the next week and a half after being diagnosed with a strain. Prospect Jordan Beck was promoted in a corresponding move and should see most of the reps in left field while Jones is sidelined.
