Ryan McMahon - Two more hits in loss McMahon went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Thursday's loss against the Diamondbacks.

Impact McMahon's been on an absolute tear of late -- he's now batting .500 (15-for-30) with four home runs and eight extra-base hits over his last eight games. He's boosted his slash line to .255/.336/.475 over 226 plate appearances this season with eight homers, 29 runs scored, 31 RBI and four stolen bases.

Harold Castro - Two hits Thursday Castro went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact Castro has been hot recently, going 8-for-24 over his last six games, boosting his slash line to .279/.293/.342 through 117 plate appearances. The former Tiger isn't likely to provide much power, despite playing half his games at Coors Field -- he's yet to homer this season after hitting seven in 120 games last year. Still, he should continue to serve as the Rockies' primary second baseman against right-handed pitching.

Brenton Doyle - Two hits, steal Thursday Doyle went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a steal in Thursday's 5-4 loss against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Doyle's now 8-for-8 on stolen base attempts through his first 30 games with Colorado. The rookie outfielder has cooled off a bit at the plate recently, going 5-for-25 over his last eight games. Still, it's been a generally productive start for the 25-year-old Doyle. He's slashing .244/.284/.433 with four homers, 15 runs scored and 15 RBI. Doyle should continue to serve as the Rockies' primary center fielder while Randal Grichuk mans left in Kris Bryant's (heel) absence.

Peter Solomon - Outrighted to Triple-A Solomon cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Reno on Thursday.

Impact He's no longer on the Diamondbacks' 40-man roster but will remain in the organization. Solomon has posted an ugly 12.15 ERA over five relief appearances at the major-league level this season.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. - Lifts offense in win Gurriel went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Thursday's 5-4 win over Colorado.

Impact A listless Diamondbacks offense didn't get much going against Rockies right-hander Connor Seabold until Gurriel hooked a two-run double that ignited a comeback win. He's enjoying a bounce back season in the desert, leading Arizona in slugging (.546) and second in RBI (33).
