Two hits, stolen base Sunday Hilliard went 2-for-5 with one run scored and one steal in Sunday's extra-innings loss against the Giants.

Impact Hilliard got the start Sunday and capitalized as he recorded two hits and his fourth stolen base of the season. Even still, Hilliard is slashing a meager .189/.282/.274 line and has lost playing time in recent days against left-handed pitchers.

Sits against southpaw Hilliard isn't in the lineup Friday against San Francisco.

Impact The Rockies have faced plenty of left-handed pitchers recently, and Hilliard will be on the bench for the fourth time in the last five games with southpaw Alex Wood on the mound for the Giants. Connor Joe is starting in left field and batting seventh.

On bench against left-hander Hilliard isn't starting Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Impact Hilliard is out of the lineup for a third consecutive game since left-hander Jordan Montgomery is on the mound for St. Louis. Connor Joe will start in left field and lead off.

AUGUST 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sits against lefty Hilliard is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact With the Rockies facing a left-handed starting pitcher (Jose Quintana) for the second straight contest, the lefty-hitting Hilliard will bow out of the lineup. Hilliard appears to have taken over as the Rockies' primary left fielder while Kris Bryant (foot) is on the shelf, but the righty-hitting Connor Joe could continue to replace Hilliard when southpaws are on the bump for the opposition.

AUGUST 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Held out of Sunday's lineup Hilliard is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact The Rockies are loading up on right-handers against Arizona southpaw Tommy Henry, so Hilliard will be held out in favor of Connor Joe despite reaching base seven times over his last three games.

Reaches base four times Hilliard went 1-for-1 with three walks and two runs scored Thursday against the Cardinals.

Impact Hilliard continues to serve as a part-time player in the Rockies' outfield and was in the lineup for the fourth time in the team's last nine games Thursday. He's gotten on base at a reasonable clip in that span -- he has a .286 average and .474 on-base percentage -- and has also chipped in four runs scored. For the season, Hilliard is still hitting just .185/.277/.272 across 173 plate appearances.

AUGUST 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes seat Wednesday Hilliard isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Hilliard went 1-for-6 with a run, an RBI, a walk and three strikeouts over the last two games but will get a breather with left-hander Jose Quintana on the mound Wednesday. Yonathan Daza is shifting to left field while Elehuris Montero serves as the designated hitter.

Productive in win Hilliard went 3-for-5 with an RBI, a stolen base and three runs scored in Wednesday's 10-6 win over the Padres.

Impact Hilliard has gone 4-for-8 across two games since he was recalled to fill in for Kris Bryant (personal). That's a vast improvement after Hilliard went 0-for-20 in nine games in June before getting optioned out to Triple-A Albuquerque. The outfielder stills owns a lackluster .183/.254/.292 slash line with two home runs, 13 RBI, 17 runs scored and three steals through 43 major-league contests this year. It's unclear if he'll stick around with the big club once Bryant returns from the paternity list.

Recalled by Colorado Hilliard was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Hilliard was sent down by the Rockies in mid-June but will rejoin the major-league club as outfield depth after Kris Bryant (personal) was placed on the paternity list Monday. Hilliard slashed .295/.384/.557 with four homers, four doubles, 13 runs, 12 RBI and three stolen bases over 16 games in Albuquerque.

C.J. Cron hits 2 HRs, leads Rockies to 10-4 win over Padres

JUNE 18, 2022 • Associated Press

Optioned to Triple-A Hilliard was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Hilliard hit just .161 with two homers, 13 runs, 12 RBI and two stolen bases over 41 games to begin the season, and he lost out on playing time recently. The 28-year-old should have more consistent at-bats while attempting to right the ship in the minors, and he'll likely be one of the top candidates for a call-up if the Rockies need additional outfield depth.

Comes up empty in return Hilliard (head) went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in Sunday's 8-7 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Hilliard missed four games after making a diving catch Wednesday that sent him into the concussion protocol. He didn't do well in his return, and he's now 0-for-9 across his last three games. The 28-year-old is slashing .178/.261/.297 with two home runs, 12 RBI, 12 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases in 115 plate appearances, so he shouldn't be expected to see much more than the strong side of a platoon with Yonathan Daza in left field now that he's healthy.

JUNE 5, 2022 • Associated Press

Back in action Sunday Hilliard (head) is starting in left field and batting seventh Sunday against Atlanta.

Impact Hilliard made a diving catch Wednesday that resulted in him landing in the concussion protocol, but he has passed any necessary tests and is ready to return to the lineup. He is hitting .226 with zero home runs and zero steals over his last 10 games.
