Rodgers (back) will start at second base and bat fifth in Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Angels, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

The 25-year-old will pick up his first official start of the spring, after he was previously a late scratch from the lineup in Saturday's game against the Giants while he dealt with back tightness. In his return to action, Rodgers will be part of a starting nine Tuesday that would appear to resemble the Rockies' everyday lineup versus right-handed pitching. Batting out of the fifth spot behind Charlie Blackmon, Kris Bryant, Ryan McMahon and C.J. Cron could be fruitful ground for run-producing chances, especially at Coors Field.
