  • Hitting bench Sunday
    Montero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Montero will get a break for the series finale after he had started in each of the Rockies' last four games while going 2-for-13 with a double, two walks, two runs and one RBI. Though he's maintaining a lowly .554 OPS for the season, Montero could hold down a near-everyday role until the banged-up Rockies get some of their hitters back from the injured list.

  • Stepping in as No. 1 catcher
    Stallings will start at catcher and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Stallings will pick up his fourth start in five games and should continue serving as the Rockies' primary option behind the plate until Elias Diaz (calf) returns from the 10-day injured list. A former Gold Glove winner who's valued mainly for his defensive contributions, Stallings has been a surprising performer with the bat during his first season in Colorado, slashing .296/.375/.449 over 113 plate appearances thus far.

  • Remains out of lineup
    Doyle (knee) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Doyle will take a seat for the second day in a row while he manages left patella tendinitis. Jake Cave will step in as the Rockies' starting center field in place of Doyle, who can be viewed as day-to-day heading into the team's four-game home set with the Dodgers that begins Monday.

  • Riding pine Sunday
    Hayes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Hayes will get some rest for the series finale in Colorado after he had started in each of the Pirates' last five games while going 3-for-21 with a stolen base and a run scored. Jared Triolo will fill in for Hayes at the hot corner. Rotowire.com 59 minutes ago
     
  • Getting fourth straight start
    Triolo will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Triolo will pick up his fourth straight start, but two came while shortstop Oneil Cruz was sitting out due to a sore ankle. Cruz is back in the lineup Sunday, but Triolo will get the nod at third base in place of a resting Ke'Bryan Hayes. Expect Triolo to return to a utility role when the Pirates open their series against the Reds on Monday. Rotowire.com Today, 11:51 am

  • On bench against righty
    Joe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Joe is sitting against a right-handed starting pitcher (Dakota Hudson) for the second time in four games, perhaps indicating that his standing as an everyday player could be on shaky ground. After producing a .794 OPS through the first two months of the season, Joe is slashing .167/.271/.310 since the beginning of June. Rotowire.com Today, 11:48 am
     
  • Getting breather Sunday
    Grandal is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Grandal will rest for the Sunday afternoon game after he went 2-for-4 with an RBI while catching eight innings of Saturday's 16-4 loss. Jason Delay will step in for Grandal behind the plate. Rotowire.com Today, 11:46 am
     
  • Brenton Doyle (knee) out again Sunday vs. PIT
    Brenton Doyle (knee) is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Pirates.

    Advice: Doyle was scratched from the lineup Sunday against Pittsburgh while dealing with left patella tendinitis. The speedy outfielder will get at least one more day off, and Jake Cave will handle center field. Rotoworld Today, 9:32 am
     
  • Continues hot stretch Saturday
    Moniak went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 win against the Giants.

    Advice: Moniak produced the Angels' first run with a solo shot to center field in the second inning. Though he's still posting an ugly .194/.241/.300 slash line on the season, the outfielder has been heating up of late. Moniak has hit safely in seven straight games, batting .391 (9-for-23) with four extra-base hits, six RBI, four runs and two stolen bases while starting in center field in all but one contest during that stretch.
