  • Returns to lineup
    Drury (illness) is batting sixth and playing second base Friday against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Drury was a late scratch Wednesday due to illness but after a team day off Thursday, he's feeling good enough to play. The second baseman is 1-for-6 since returning from the IL on Monday and owns a .469 OPS on the year. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
     
  • Hits 10-day IL
    Amador (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday.

    Advice: Amador suffered a right oblique strain in Thursday's game against the Dodgers, a injury similar to one he sustained earlier in the season at Double-A Hartford. Considering Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) is healthy and Amador put up a .394 OPS in 10 big-league games, the 21-year-old doesn't have a clear path to at-bats in Colorado. Rotowire.com 52 minutes ago

  • Officially activated
    Rodgers (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Friday.

    Advice: Rodgers is officially back on the Rockies' active roster after missing exactly two weeks of action. While he isn't in the lineup for Friday's contest, he should be expected to take over second base duties from Alan Trejo this weekend. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting against southpaw
    Biggio isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Biggio has been platooning with righty Enrique Hernandez at third base since being acquired by the Dodgers. With lefty Patrick Sandoval on the mound for the Angels, it will be Hernandez who fills the hot corner Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 3:13 pm

  • Not facing lefty
    Lux is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: With the Dodgers facing a lefty for the second straight night, Lux will once again be held from the starting lineup. Instead, Chris Taylor will bat eighth and play second base. Rotowire.com Today, 3:10 pm

  • Set for IL stint
    Amador will be placed on the injured list with a right oblique strain, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

    Advice: Amador's move to the injured list comes at the same time as Brendan Rodgers' (hamstring) reinstatement, meaning the rookie's playing time with Colorado was coming to an end regardless. The 21-year-old appeared in 10 games with the Rockies but struggled to a .171/.194/.200 slash line with a stolen base. While it's unclear how long he'll be sidelined, there is optimism that Amador's recovery will be quick. Rotowire.com Today, 2:47 pm

  • Reinstatement coming
    Rodgers (hamstring) will be activated from the 10-day injured list, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports Friday.

    Advice: Rodgers suffered a mild left hamstring strain June 7 and after couple weeks of recovery and a brief minor-league rehab assignment, he'll rejoin the Rockies active roster. Adael Amador (oblique) will hit the IL in a corresponding move. Prior to the injury, Rodgers owned a .699 OPS across 230 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 2:41 pm
     
  • Jose Iglesias goes 4-for-5, drives in three
    Starting at second base over Jeff McNeil against a lefty, Jose Iglesias went 4-for-5 and knocked in three runs Friday against the Cubs.

    Advice: Iglesias is now 14-for-32 since being called up, giving him a nice .438 average. He has 40% as many runs batted in as McNeil (six to 15) in 14% as many at-bats (32 to 233). It wouldn’t hurt to give him some playing time against righties; McNeil actually has an even lower OPS against them than he does lefties (.583 to .609). Rotoworld Today, 2:35 pm
     
  • Rockies activate Brendan Rodgers from 10-day IL
    Rockies activated INF Brendan Rodgers from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: The 27-year-old infielder hadn’t been expected to return until Saturday, but he’ll rejoin the Rockies a day early with Adael Amador (oblique) landing on the injured list on Friday. Unless there’s a late modification to the lineup though, Rodgers will not rejoin the lineup on Friday night as Alan Trejo is set to start at second base against DJ Herz and the Nationals.
