Rotowire
Goodman is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets.
Goodman is batting .300 (12-for-40) with five doubles and four homers over his past 10 games but won't start both contests of Sunday's twin bill. Brett Sullivan is starting behind the plate in the matinee, with Goodman likely to step back in for the nightcap.

Rockies' Willi Castro: Absence continuing Sunday
Rotowire
Castro (knee) is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets.
Castro was held out of the lineup Friday after exiting Thursday's contest due to knee soreness, and he won't rejoin the starting nine for Sunday's matinee. It remains to be seen if he'll be available off the bench or for Game 2.
Rockies' Jose Quintana: Saturday's start rained out
Rotowire
Quintana and the Rockies won't play the Mets on Saturday, as the game was postponed due to inclement weather.
The two sides will play two games Sunday to make up for Saturday's contest, and Quintana will likely get the nod to start one of them. The 37-year-old has had a rough start to the year so far, posting a 6.23 ERA and 1.85 WHIP while turning in a 4:9 K:BB through his first 13 innings (three starts).
Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Stolen base in return to lineup
Rotowire
Doyle went 1-for-3 with a run scored, a walk and a stolen base Friday against the Mets.
Doyle was out of the lineup for Colorado's prior two games, though he returned to start in center field Friday. He played a key role in the team's fifth-inning rally, singling to center before coming around to score. Doyle later swiped his sixth bag of the season, four of which have come in his last 10 games. Despite the strong showing Friday, Doyle is hitting only .219 with two RBI and 11 runs scored across 26 games to begin the campaign.

Rockies' Jake McCarthy: Drives in key run
Rotowire
McCarthy went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI on Friday against the Mets.
McCarthy split the outfield with a line drive in the sixth inning to drive in a run to give the Rockies the lead. He now has a four-game hitting streak, and he has also maintained a .360 batting average with four RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base across his last 10 games. McCarthy has served as a part-time starter this season, though Friday marked his third consecutive start.
Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Picks up five-out save
Rotowire
Senzatela earned the save Friday against the Mets, allowing no runs on no hits and no walks while striking out one in 1.2 innings of work.
Senzatela was tasked with cleaning up a mess in the eighth inning after Jaden Hill lasted just 0.1 innings and allowed two runs on four hits. With runners on first and second and just one out, he induced a line-drive double play to escape the eighth. Then, with closer Victor Vodnik experiencing some trouble lately and Senzatela at just two pitches, the 31-year-old was trusted to pitch the ninth inning, and he worked a clean frame. It's just the latest example of the hot start that he's been on this season, allowing just one earned run in 18 innings pitched with 18 strikeouts. As a result, it wouldn't be surprising to see him earn more save chances as the season rolls on.

Rockies' Michael Lorenzen: Allows one run in win
Rotowire
Lorenzen (2-2) earned the win Friday against the Mets, allowing one run on seven hits and no walks while striking out three batters in seven innings.
Lorenzen had his longest outing of the season Friday, throwing seven strong innings and allowing just one run in by far his best start of the year. The 34-year-old hasn't struck out more than four batters in a start this season, and that streak continued Friday, but the right-hander didn't walk anybody and worked through seven innings on just 90 pitches by pitching to contact. Despite the strong start, his season-long numbers still are a bit inflated, as he holds a 5.97 ERA and a 1.85 WHIP in 28.2 innings on the season. His next start is scheduled for Thursday against the Reds.
Freeland (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.
It appears Freeland won't need to embark on a rehab assignment, so Saturday's session could be his last before returning from the 15-day injured list, potentially as soon as the Rockies' upcoming road series against the Reds that commences Tuesday. Prior to landing on the IL due to left shoulder inflammation, Freeland posted a 2.30 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB across 15.2 innings.

Rockies' Willi Castro: Sitting out Friday
Rotowire
Castro (knee) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.
Castro had to exit Thursday's contest versus the Padres with right knee soreness. It appears to be a day-to-day type of injury, though it's unclear whether he'll be available off the bench Friday. Tyler Freeman is occupying second base and hitting cleanup for Colorado.

Rockies' Edouard Julien: Grabbing seat Friday
Rotowire
Julien is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Mets.

Rockies' Sammy Peralta: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rockies recalled Peralta from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Placed on 15-day injured list
Rotowire
The Rockies placed Feltner on the 15-day injured list Friday with right ulnar nerve inflammation.
Feltner was removed from his start against the Padres on Thursday due to what was called right triceps tightness at the time, but upon a more thorough exam, it turns out he has a nerve issue in his pitching elbow. The Rockies have not revealed a timetable for the righty's return, but it's an injury that could result in an extended absence.
Johnston went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a walk Thursday against the Padres.
johnston delivered a pair of RBI singles, which came in the second and seventh innings. He had at least one hit in five of seven games during Colorado's homestand that concluded Thursday, collecting five RBI and scoring twice. Johnston has also started nine straight games, splitting time between right field and first base.
