Rockies' Adael Amador: Suffers oblique strain
Rotowire
Manager Bud Black said Amador was removed from Thursday's game against the Dodgers due to a "mild oblique strain," Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.
Amador appeared to be wincing after his at-bat in the seventh inning and was replaced in the field before the eighth frame. The 21-year-old suffered a similar injury earlier in the season while with Double-A Hartford, and it remains to be seen whether he'll require a trip to the injured list.

Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Completes third bullpen session
Rotowire
Senzatela (elbow) tossed a 20-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
The Rockies are bringing Senzatela along slowly as he works his way back from July 2023 Tommy John surgery, but he already has three bullpen sessions under his belt since being cleared for mound work earlier this month. Senzatela said that he won't be cleared to face hitters until he builds up to around 30-to-40 pitches in his side sessions. He thus looks to be at least a couple weeks away from pitching in live batting practice at the Rockies' facility in Arizona.

Rockies' Jordan Beck: Timeline pushed back
Rotowire

Beck underwent surgery May 29 to insert a plate into his fractured left hand, so based on the updated timeline, he appears likely to remain sidelined through the All-Star break. Nolan Jones has since beaten him back from the IL, so Beck may not have an everyday role in the Colorado outfield waiting for him once he's activated and could be optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Rockies' Elias Diaz: Resumes jogging
Rotowire
The Rockies cleared Diaz (calf) to resume jogging Monday, MLB.com reports.
While Diaz looks to be making some progress in his recovery from the left calf strain that forced him to the injured list last Friday, he's still on track to spend more than the minimum 10 days on the shelf. The Rockies haven't yet provided a target date for Diaz's return from the IL, and Jacob Stallings should serve as Colorado's top backstop until Diaz is back in action.

Rockies' Michael Prosecky: Back in action in rookie ball
Rotowire
Prosecky (elbow) was cleared to make his season debut Sunday and has appeared in two games for the Rockies' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate, tossing 2.2 innings and striking out seven while giving up two earned runs on two hits.
Prosecky posted a 2.72 ERA over 21 starts for Single-A Fresno in 2023 and should eventually rejoin the Rockies' California League affiliate once he gets more stretched out in Arizona. The 23-year-old lefty had been sidelined all season while recovering from elbow inflammation.

Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Set to return Sunday
Rotowire
Rockies manager Bud Black said Thursday that Freeland (elbow) will return from the 60-day injured list to start Sunday versus the Nationals, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Freeland allowed two earned runs while striking out four over four innings in his third and final rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Albuquerque. The left-hander threw 67 pitches in the outing, so he probably won't be ready for a full workload Sunday. Most fantasy managers shouldn't be using Freeland, anyway. He posted a 13.21 ERA in four starts before going on the injured list in mid-April with a left elbow strain.

Rockies' Jacob Stallings: Resting Thursday
Rotowire
Stallings is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.
Stallings will get a breather while the Rockies conclude their series with the Dodgers with a day game after a night game. Hunter Goodman will fill in behind the plate for Stallings, who went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored while catching eight innings of Wednesday's 7-6 win.

Rockies' Nolan Jones: Out again with illness
Rotowire
Jones (illness) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.
Jones will take a seat for the second day in a row while he recovers from an illness. Sean Bouchard will fill in for Jones in left field while batting second.

Rockies' Charlie Blackmon: Missing second straight start
Rotowire
Blackmon (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.
He'll stay on the bench for a second straight game while he manages a tight right hamstring. Blackmon's absence clears the way for Jake Cave and Elehuris Montero to pick up another start in right field and at designated hitter, respectively. The Rockies are expecting Blackmon to avoid a stint on the injured list, though the team could change its tune if he isn't ready to go for Friday's series opener versus the Nationals.

Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Reaches 67 pitches in rehab start
Rotowire
Freeland (elbow) struck out four over four innings in his third rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Albuquerque, giving up two earned runs on two hits and four walks.
Freeland tossed four innings of one-run ball in his first rehab outing with Albuquerque on June 13, but he wasn't quite as sharp in his second turn through the Triple-A rotation, spotting 42 of his 67 pitches for strikes while walking four of the 18 batters he faced. Though Freeland looks to be stretched out to close to a traditional starter's workload, the Rockies may want the left-hander to raise his pitch count a bit more and show improved control in one more outing with Albuquerque before bringing him back from the 60-day injured list. The Rockies already seem to be ruling out Freeland for a return this weekend; the team is listing Dakota Hudson, Cal Quantrill and Austin Gomber as its starters for the series with the Nationals that runs Friday through Sunday, according to Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com.

Rockies' Brendan Rodgers: Starting rehab assignment
Rotowire
Rodgers (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, MLB.com reports.
Rodgers participated in batting practice drills Tuesday and Wednesday before heading out for game action. Rockies manager Bud Black said that Rodgers is expected to require only two rehab games with Albuquerque, so the second baseman could be cleared to return from the 10-day injured list ahead of Sunday's series finale versus the Nationals.

Rockies' Jalen Beeks: Picks up third win
Rotowire
Beeks (3-3) threw a scoreless ninth inning while allowing one hit and striking out one to earn the win Wednesday against the Dodgers.
Beeks entered the game with the score knotted at 6-6. He delivered his sixth consecutive scoreless appearance, and in that span he has three holds and a win. Given the Rockies' struggles to find a reliable closer this season, Beeks may get a second look in the role.

Rockies' Michael Toglia: Homer, triple in win
Rotowire
Toglia went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, a triple and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 7-6 win over the Dodgers.
Toglia is finding a rhythm at the plate, going 13-for-47 (.277) over 13 games since he was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on June 6. Five of his 13 hits in that span have gone for extra bases. The 25-year-old is up to a .191/.239/.436 slash line with six homers, 20 RBI, 14 runs scored, one stolen base, two triples and one double through 101 plate appearances this season. Toglia is playing on a near-everyday basis, splitting his time between first base and right field.

Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Gives up six runs in no-decision
Rotowire
Feltner allowed six runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Wednesday.
Feltner has given up at least four runs in six of his last seven outings. He was on the hook for the loss until the Rockies rallied to tie the game in the seventh inning. His recent poor stretch of pitching has included four home starts, so it's not surprising he's struggled to find stability. Feltner is at a 6.02 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 73:22 K:BB through 80.2 innings over 15 starts this season. He's projected for a road start versus the Astros his next time out.

Rockies' Nolan Jones: Scratched Wednesday
Rotowire
Jones was scratched from the Rockies' lineup before Wednesday's game against the Dodgers due to illness, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.
Jones was reportedly feeling unwell ahead of Wednesday's contest, so he'll step out of the lineup and use the day to recover. Sean Bouchard will instead serve as Colorado's left fielder and bat sixth.

Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Moving back to bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Goodman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
Goodman started each of the last four games -- two at designated hitter, two at catcher -- and went 6-for-17 with three home runs and one double, but he hasn't quite seized hold of an everyday role just yet. Jacob Stallings remains the Rockies' No. 1 catcher while Elias Diaz (calf) is on the shelf, and Charlie Blackmon and Elehuris Montero are also expected to factor into the mix at DH until Kris Bryant (oblique) returns from the injured list. Goodman may need to turn in a few more quality performances at the plate in his subsequent starts before the Rockies make him a fixture in the lineup.

Rockies' Greg Jones: Sent down to minors
Rotowire
The Rockies optioned Jones to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.
Jones didn't play much during his nearly two-week stint in the majors, receiving just one start and six plate appearances. He's replaced on the roster by Sean Bouchard (ankle), who was reinstated from the injured list.
