Marte went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-6 loss to the Mets.

Marte got Arizona on the board with his first-inning homer. The 27-year-old has hit safely in eight of the last nine games, going 12-for-35 (.343) with two homers, seven RBI and seven runs scored in that span. That's in line with his season numbers -- he's slashing .347/.390/.587 across 82 plate appearances overall.

Manager Jayce Tingler said early indications are Kim avoided a concussion after colliding with teammate Tommy Pham (head) during Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The collision occurred during the fourth inning Wednesday while in pursuit of a pop fly in shallow left field. Kim should be considered day-to-day while he continues to be evaluated, while Pham received stitches and will undergo a CT scan.

Rodgers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers, AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.

Garrett Hampson will step into the starting nine in place of Rodgers, who had been in the lineup in each of the Rockies' past seven games. In the last four, Rodgers started at shortstop, and he should remain the primary option at that position while Trevor Story (elbow) is on the shelf. The early returns from Rodgers haven't been overly impressive since he was activated from the injured list May 21; over his first 34 plate appearances with Colorado, Rodgers is slashing .167/.265/.167.

Kim was removed in the fourth inning of Wednesday's game against the Cubs after colliding in the outfield with teammate Tommy Pham, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The collision resulted in both players failing to catch a flyball in the shallow outfield, but Kim had the wherewithal to relay the dropped ball into the infield, starting a 6-5-4 double play. Kim still appeared to absorb the brunt of the impact in the collision, as he required assistance off the field with the help of team trainers, while Pham headed to the dugout under his own power. Both players were holding their heads after the collision, so Kim will presumably undergo concussion testing in the locker room. While starting at shortstop for the injured Fernando Tatis (oblique), Kim went 1-for-2 with an RBI prior to departing.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Rojas heads to the bench for the first time since May 10, ending a stretch of 21 consecutive starts for the 26-year-old. After a wretched start to the season, Rojas began to turn things around at the plate in late April and has since established himself as an everyday player. Though he'll be sitting with southpaw David Peterson on the mound, the lefty-hitting Rojas should still find himself in the lineup more often than not against both lefties and righties.

Frazier went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and an RBI in Tuesday's 10-5 loss to Kansas City.

He leads the majors in hits (71) and doubles (19) while ranking fourth overall with a .335 batting average. Frazier has hits in 15 of his last 16 games, batting .412 (28-for-68) with 11 runs and 10 extra-base hits since May 14. He moved from second base to left field during Tuesday's tilt, giving him four appearances in the outfield in 2021.

Urias went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-7 loss to the Tigers.

The ball was flying at American Family Field as the two teams combined for nine homers, and Urias got in on the fun with a ninth-inning blast off Gregory Soto, his sixth home run of the year. The infielder has five hits and four RBI in his last three games, and with Travis Shaw mired in a 4-for-40 slump, Urias has become more than just a platoon option against lefties at third base for the Brewers.

Stott has been promoted to Double-A Reading, Tom Housenick of The Morning Call reports.

Scott got off to a strong start this season with High-A Jersey Shore, slashing .288/.453/.548 with five homers and 10 RBI across 95 plate appearances. His solid play has earned him a promotion to Double-A Reading, where he will debut Tuesday.

The Rockies recalled Trejo from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Trejo returns to the Rockies after suffering a dislocated finger May 21 in Triple-A. He fills the roster spot of Connor Joe, who was optioned Tuesday, and figures to get some action at shortstop until Trevor Story (elbow) recovers from his injury.

Lux went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Monday's win over the Cardinals.

Lux recorded his first multi-hit game since May 23, and perhaps coincidentally, that was the last time he belted a home run as well. The second baseman has settled in as a regular this season, but his numbers aren't eye-popping by any means -- he's only hitting .247 with a .701 OPS across 168 plate appearances.
