Colorado Rockies vs. Cincinnati Reds - News - June 13, 2021 | FOX Sports

Tucker Barnhart - Heads to bench Barnhart is not in the lineup for Monday's game against Milwaukee.

Impact Barnhart was started 42 games behind the plate, nearly twice as many as Tyler Stephenson, who makes his 22nd start of the year there Monday. Stephenson has also started 11 times at first base, however, so he could continue cutting into Barnhart's playing time on a more regular basis going forward now that Joey Votto is back from his thumb injury.

Tyler Naquin - Sitting versus lefty Naquin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

Impact With lefty Eric Lauer on the hill for Milwaukee, the lefty-hitting Naquin will cede center-field duties to the righty-hitting Aristides Aquino in the series opener. With 11 home runs and 43 RBI on the campaign, Naquin is rapidly closing in on career-high totals in both categories (14 and 43, respectively), but he has yet to master same-handed pitching. Over 25 plate appearances versus lefties this season, Naquin has posted a modest .653 OPS.

Kelby Tomlinson - Joins Colorado on MiLB deal Tomlinson signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies on June 1 and was assigned to the organization's rookie-level Arizona League affiliate.

Impact Tomlinson had been out of baseball since the Rockies released him from his minor-league deal last June, so he'll presumably be put through a de facto spring training in the Arizona League before reporting to Triple-A Albuquerque. The 30-year-old will give the Rockies an experienced utility man at the upper levels of the minors; he previously appeared in 273 big-league games with the Giants between 2015 and 2018.

Impact The 27-year-old outfielder had been playing for the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs of the independent Atlantic League of Professional Baseball before the Reds elected to bring him back to affiliated ball. Lee previously saw action in the majors with the Marlins in 2018, going 3-for-17 over eight games with the club.
