Hunter

Goodman

Both will miss a chance to face RHP Jake Irvin. Zac Veen and Brett Sullivan will get the call. This is likely just a normal rest day for Goodman as a catcher in a day-game-after-a-night-game situation.

Goodman’s homer left the bat at 109.5 mph and was projected at 432 feet. He grounded out twice and struck out once in his other three at-bats tonight. In spite of the 12-day absence, Goodman is tied for fourth in the majors with 35 homers this season.

Goodman returns to Colorado’s lineup following a minimum stint on the injured list with a left shoulder strain. The power-hitting 26-year-old catcher has been phenomenal this season, hitting .251 with a career-high 34 home runs, 69 RBI and five steals in 460 plate appearances.

Colorado loses their most potent middle-of-the-order run-producing threat to the injured list after missing four consecutive games with a lingering shoulder issue. It’s unclear how much time he’ll wind up missing, but fantasy managers should expect the Rockies to proceed with an abundance of caution given his importance to the franchise moving forward. The 26-year-old slugging backstop has delivered first-round fantasy value this season, slashing .251/.320/.541 with 69 runs scored, 34 home runs, 69 RBI and five steals in 460 plate appearances. There should be a definitive return timetable at some point later this week.

Not great. Goodman, who was in Colorado’s initial lineup at catcher and hitting third, will instead sit out his fourth consecutive game due to left shoulder inflammation. At this point, it’s challenging to dismiss the possibility of a trip to the injured list. There should be a more definitive update on his status at some point this week.

Fantasy manager can safely exhale with Goodman returning to Colorado’s lineup following a three-game absence due to shoulder inflammation. The 26-year-old slugging backstop has seemingly managed to avoid a trip to the injured list and will get a chance to face Dodgers lefty Blake Snell at Coors Field on Monday night. He’s delivered first-round fantasy value this season, slashing .251/.320/.541 with 69 runs scored, 34 home runs, 69 RBI and five steals in 460 plate appearances.

The Rockies had been hopeful that Goodman would return to the lineup on Saturday but he was ultimately scratched due to inflammation in his shoulder. If he isn’t ready to go for Monday’s series opener against the Dodgers, the Rockies may be forced to consider a backdated stint on the injured list. Brett Sullivan will once again fill in behind the dish and will bat eighth against the Giants on Sunday.

The Rockies had Goodman catching when they made the lineup, but now he’ll miss a second straight start. Brett Sullivan is playing in his place.

No need to DH him, apparently, given that it’s his non-throwing shoulder that’s bothering him. He’s batting cleanup against the Giants today.

It looks to be just a routine evening off for the 26-year-old slugger. Brett Sullivan will do the catching for the Rockies and will bat ninth against Giants’ right-hander Landen Roupp.
