Kris Bryant on Rockies IL again Bryant is hitting .270 (17-for-63) with a .676 OPS and has not yet hit home run.
Kris Bryant - In walking boot, without timeline Bryant has been wearing a walking boot on his injured left foot since landing on the injured list Aug. 1 and is without a timeline for a return, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post...
Impact Bryant is eligible to return from the IL this week, but the fact that he's still in a boot and has yet to advance to baseball activities suggests he'll be sidelined beyond the minimum 10 days. Until Bryant's plantar fasciitis dissipates and he's able to shed the boot and resume running, fielding and hitting, the Rockies likely won't provide a target date for his return. With just under two months left in the season, fantasy managers in shallower leagues in particular may not have the luxury of stashing Bryant, since his return doesn't seem to be imminent.

Ryan Feltner - Re-enters rotation Feltner is scheduled to start Tuesday's home game against the Cardinals.
Impact Since Feltner wasn't needed in relief over the weekend after being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, he'll step into the rotation to fill the vacancy created by Chad Kuhl's move to the 10-day injured list with a right hip flexor strain. Feltner has previously made nine appearances (eight starts) for Colorado this season, posting a 5.75 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 38:11 K:BB in 40.2 innings. Even though Feltner tentatively lines up for two starts this week, his poor ratios along with the fact that both of his projected outings will come at Coors Field makes it difficult to rely on him as a streaming option.

José Ureña - Turns in quality start Urena allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out two across six innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Sunday.
Impact Urena completed six frames for the first time in four starts. All three runs against him came via the home run -- he gave up a two-run blast to Christian Walker in the first inning and a solo shot to Emmanuel Rivera in the sixth. Urena has given up four homers in 37 innings across seven outings with the Rockies, with three of those homers coming in road games. He's pitched to a 4.63 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 22:24 K:BB across 44.2 innings between the Rockies and the Brewers this year. The right-hander is lined up for another start versus the Diamondbacks next weekend, with that outing in Colorado's Coors Field.

Patrick Saunders: Rockies' big bets on Kris Bryant, continuity fail to pay off in another lost season When the Rockies signed outfielder Kris Bryant to a seven-year, $182 million contract during spring training, owner Dick Monfort was giddy.

Impact He'll remain in the organization after going unclaimed off waivers when the Rockies booted him off the 40-man roster earlier in the weekend. Goudeau has turned in a 7.08 ERA and 1.72 WHIP in 20.1 innings out of the Colorado bullpen this season.

Elehuris Montero - Gets sixth straight start Montero will start at first base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Impact Though Montero doesn't have a clear-cut path to a full-time role at any spot, he'll pick up his sixth start in a row Sunday while having moved between first base, third base and designated hitter. Montero has made it tough for manager Bud Black to take him out of the lineup by going 7-for-17 with a home run and three doubles in his five starts since being recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque. The rookie looks like he could continue to get steady run while Kris Bryant (foot) is on the injured list.

Yonathan Daza - Playing time on rise Daza will start in center field and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Impact With Charlie Blackmon getting Sunday off, Daza will step into the table-setting role for the fifth time this season. Daza will also be making his fifth consecutive start and seventh in the past eight contests after going 10-for-25 with four doubles, three runs and one RBI during his active seven-game hitting streak. He appears to be picking up playing time at the expense of Connor Joe, who hasn't started in consecutive games since July 28 and 29.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • KANSASCITY.COM
Ryan McMahon - Homers, swipes bag McMahon went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base in a 3-2 win against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.
Impact McMahon walked and stole second in the fourth inning before launching the game-winning home run 421 feet to center in the ninth. The 27-year-old is in the midst of a scorching opening week of August, going 8-for-18 with two homers, two doubles and two stolen bases in six contests this month. The torrid stretch has upped McMahon's line to .242/.337/.392 with 10 long balls, 40 runs, 50 RBI and a career-high seven stolen bases.

Daniel Bard - Notches 23rd save Bard saved Saturday's 3-2 victory against the Diamondbacks, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.
Impact Bard's services were necessitated when Colorado took the lead in the top of the ninth and he delivered a clean inning to convert his 14th consecutive save opportunity. During the span, the 37-year-old has allowed four runs (three earned) across 27.1 innings. His 23 saves rank tied for sixth in the majors and he is the only member of the top-10 to play on a team with a losing record.

Antonio Senzatela - Goes seven innings in no-decision Senzatela registered a no-decision during Saturday's 3-2 win against Arizona, allowing two runs on nine hits with two strikeouts in seven innings.
Impact Senzatela's outing was bookended with runs -- he surrendered a Christian Walker RBI single in the first inning and a Daulton Varsho solo shot in the seventh -- but kept Arizona off the board in the middle innings thanks in part to a pair of double plays. The 27-year-old has now permitted three runs or fewer in four starts since returning from a stint on the injured list due to a shoulder injury, during which he's registered a 4.01 ERA in 24.2 innings. Senzatela possesses a 4.68 ERA and 1.70 WHIP with 50 strikeouts in 84.2 innings across 17 starts. He's currently scheduled for a rematch with Arizona next weekend.

Elehuris Montero - Tallies first career RBI Montero went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Friday against the Diamondbacks.
Impact Montero has started each of the last four games, manning a combination of first and third base. He's collected five hits across 14 at-bats in that span -- three of which went for extra bases -- and he managed the first RBI of his career on a two-run single in the sixth inning Friday. Montero has been in the majors sporadically throughout the season and has maintained a .229/.260/.333 line across 50 plate appearances.

Impact Grichuk got Colorado on the board with a solo shot in the second inning off Arizona starter Madison Bumgarner, singled and scored as part of a three-run sixth and singled again in the seventh to record his second three-hit game of the season. The solid performance snapped a 1-for-15 skid to open August and the 30-year-old is now slashing .256/.299/.419 with 11 home runs, 39 runs and 54 RBI in 94 games.
