Chapman isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Chapman will take a seat for Wednesday's series finale after going 2-for-8 with an RBI and two runs scored over the first two games versus St. Louis. Casey Schmitt will shift over to third base as a result, opening up second for Christian Koss.

Bailey isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Cardinals, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bailey will get a chance to catch his breath Wednesday after going 4-for-8 with two RBI and three runs scored over the first two games of the series. Andrew Knizner will fill in for him behind the dish and bat ninth.

The Rockies optioned Romo to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

Romo went 0-for-3 at the plate while serving as the Rockies' third catcher, and the return of Warming Bernabel (concussion) from the IL will now push the former back to the minor leagues. The 24-year-old backstop has slashed .264/.329/.409 across 244 plate appearances at Albuquerque and will most likely remain there for the rest of the year.

The Rockies optioned Rolison to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

Rolison made four appearances out of the Rockies' bullpen since being recalled from Triple-A on Sept. 11, but in his last outing against the Marlins this past Thursday he allowed two runs on two hits while striking out one batter in one inning. He'll return to Albuquerque, where he sports a 3.34 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB across 29.2 innings this season.

The Rockies reinstated Peralta (hip) from the injured list Wednesday.

Left hip inflammation sent Peralta onto the injured list Sept. 11, but a quick recovery will allow him to provide depth to Colorado's bullpen for the final several games of the 2025 campaign. Ryan Rolison was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

The Rockies placed Contreras on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a right hand contusion.

Contreras' move to the IL means he'll be shut down for the rest of the season, though he should be ready for spring training. He was claimed off waivers by the Rockies on Sept. 2 after being DFA'd by the Orioles in late August. Across four bullpen appearances for Colorado, Contreras allowed eight runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out four across 8.1 innings.

The Rockies reinstated Agnos (elbow) from the injured list Wednesday.

Agnos has been on the shelf since late July with a strained right elbow, but he'll now return in time to help the Rockies' bullpen through the final five games of the season. The 25-year-old hasn't been particularly effective during his first season in the majors, logging a 6.98 ERA and 1.58 WHIP over 29.2 innings.

The Rockies reinstated Bernabel (concussion) from the 7-day injured list, and he will start at first base and bat eighth against the Mariners on Wednesday.

Bernabel suffered a head injury against the Dodgers on Sept. 8 and was diagnosed with a concussion following the game, but he has cleared MLB's protocol and will play Wednesday. Bernabel has slashed .264/.301/.434 with one steal, 15 runs, four home runs and 14 RBI in 136 plate appearances since making his major-league debut July 26.

Laureano was removed from Wednesday's game versus the Brewers after the second inning with an undisclosed injury, Sammy Levitt of 97.3 The Fan San Diego reports.

Laureano struck out in his lone plate appearance in the bottom of the second inning before being replaced in right field for the top of the third. It's unclear what he's dealing with, but the Padres should have an update on Laureano's condition soon.

The Mets activated Taylor (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Taylor has been sidelined for the entirety of September with a strained hamstring, but he's been cleared to rejoin the Mets' active roster. The veteran outfielder should play regularly in center field against left-handed pitching.
