YONATHAN DAZA NEWS

Sits in series opener Daza is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Even with fellow outfielder Kris Bryant (personal) landing on the paternity list Monday, Daza will see his run of four consecutive starts come to an end while Colorado rolls out an outfield of Connor Joe, Garrett Hampson and Charlie Blackmon. Since Bryant is most likely to spend the maximum three days away from the team before returning to the lineup Thursday, Daza should still be in good position to pick up a handful of starts per week.

Encroaching on Connor Joe's role Daza will start in center field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact C.J. Cron's (wrist) absence from the starting nine for the second game in a row will open spots in the lineup for both Daza and Connor Joe, who gets the start at first base in Cron's stead. Assuming Cron is able to avoid a stint on the injured list and rejoins the lineup for the four-game series with the Padres that begins Monday, Daza could be in line to displace Joe as a mainstay in the Colorado outfield against right-handed pitching. Daza, who already picked up a start against a right-hander in Friday's series opener in Arizona while Joe sat out, finds himself in the lineup for the seventh time in eight games after going 6-for-22 (.273 average) over the previous six contests.

On bench, could lose playing time Daza is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Daza stayed in the lineup for Monday's 4-0 win while lefty Tyler Anderson was on the hill for the Dodgers, but the 28-year-old will be on the bench for the second game of the series, despite Los Angeles bringing another southpaw (Clayton Kershaw) to the mound. The righty-hitting Daza should generally have a decent path to playing time versus lefties, but he'll likely struggle to find work against right-handed pitching now that Kris Bryant is back from the injured list. Moving forward, the Rockies are likely to use Bryant, Charlie Blackmon, Connor Joe and Randal Grichuk as their primary options at the three outfield spots and designated hitter.

Day off Saturday Daza isn't starting Saturday's game against the Twins.

Impact Daza started in the last 15 games and hit .297 with four doubles, 10 runs and two RBI during that time. However, he'll get a breather while Connor Joe, Garrett Hampson and Randal Grichuk start in the outfield from left to right.

Two runs scored in win Daza went 2-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Padres.

Impact Daza scored on Charlie Blackmon's first-inning triple, then again on Cron's infield single in the sixth. Daza has picked up at least a hit in eight of his last 10 games, six of which have been multi-hit performances. Although the outfielder has yet to record a home run this season, his .386 OBP makes him a valuable asset to score runs for a team with the 10th highest run total and the 12th most RBI.

Collects three hits Daza went 3-for-5 with a run scored Sunday against the Padres.

Impact Daza singled in each of his first three at-bats, and he came around to score after leading off the fourth inning with a base knock. He had a strong weekend series against the Padres, collecting six hits across 17 at-bats while also scoring three runs. It's largely been empty production, but Daza has maintained a .331 batting average across 158 plate appearances this season. He should have a clear path to playing time so long as Kris Bryant (back) remains sidelined.
