Back in action Friday Tovar (triceps) will start at shortstop and bat second in Friday's Cactus League game versus the Rangers.

Exits game due to triceps injury Tovar left Wednesday's spring game against the Padres due to a left triceps contusion, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Tovar had his left arm hit by a pitch from Michael King in the first inning, and the former was replaced by Owen Miller in the third frame. Tovar's removal from Wednesday's game was likely precautionary, and with the Rockies on an off-day Thursday, he has a chance of playing Friday against the Rangers. The 23-year-old shortstop is coming off a strong 2024 regular season in which he slashed .269/.295/.469 with 26 home runs and 78 RBI across 694 plate appearances.

Over that stretch he's batting .270 (13-for-48) with 10 extra-base hits, nine RBI and seven runs scored.

Bounces back in big way Tovar went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double and four total RBI in Tuesday's 9-8 loss to the Marlins.
Impact Tovar had just one homer while batting .178 over his first 21 games in August. He sat out Monday due to a sports hernia, and it appears the rest did him some good, though it helps the Rockies are facing the Marlins. Tovar is up to 21 homers, 59 RBI, 71 runs scored, four stolen bases, 38 doubles and a .274/.298/.470 slash line through 128 contests overall. It wouldn't be surprising for Tovar to see more regular rest days if his sports hernia flares up again.

Impact The Rockies failed to disclose much about Tovar's ailment prior to this point, which could be one of the causes for his struggles at the dish so far in August. However, the issue shouldn't force the 23-year-old shortstop to miss additional time assuming he feels ready to play ahead of Tuesday's matchup.
