Tovar went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Thursday's win over Atlanta. Tovar went hitless in his first two trips to the plate before jumping on a hanging slider from Reynaldo Lopez in the top of the sixth to notch his 22nd home run of the campaign and give Colorado a 2-1 lead. He would also add his sixth stolen base of the season in the eighth after recording a leadoff single to open the frame. It marked the shortstop's first long ball and multi-hit effort this month and he's now hit safely in nine of his last 12 games. Over that stretch he's batting .270 (13-for-48) with 10 extra-base hits, nine RBI and seven runs scored.

Tovar (sports hernia) will start at shortstop and bat second in Tuesday's game versus the Marlins. Tovar missed Monday's game while dealing with a sports hernia, but it wound up being just a one-day absence. The 23-year-old has struggled so far in August with just a .482 OPS.

Tovar, who was given the day off Monday while dealing with a sports hernia, is expected to be in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports. The Rockies failed to disclose much about Tovar's issue 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.

Tovar went 1-for-5 on Sunday against the Yankees. Tovar had a productive weekend series in New York, going 4-for-13 with three doubles and two runs scored. However, he's endured significant struggles throughout August by hitting just .178 with an abysmal 34 percent strikeout rate and 3.2 percent walk rate. Positively, he still has 11 runs scored in 21 games for the month.

Tovar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. Tovar started the previous 24 games but will sit Sunday while in the midst of a 3-for-19 slump. Aaron Schunk will take over at shortstop and bat ninth in the series finale versus San Diego.
