Edman isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Giants, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Edman will retreat to the bench after going 1-for-8 with a run scored in two games since his return from the injured list. While he rests, Miguel Rojas will start at second base, and Michael Conforto, Andy Pages and Teoscar Hernandez will patrol the outfield.

Kim isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against San Francisco, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Saturday marks the fourth straight game that will begin with Kim on the bench, as he's been conceding starts at the keystone to Miguel Rojas and Tommy Edman. Kim looks as though he'll have to settle for a regular reserve role with the recent return of Edman from the injured list creating a logjam in the infield.

Muncy (forearm) will start at third base and bat fourth against the Giants on Saturday, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Muncy was taken out of Friday's contest after getting hit on the forearm by a pitch, but the damage wasn't significant enough for him to miss a start. He'll aim to build some momentum Saturday after going 1-for-9 with two walks since his return from the IL.

Smith (hand) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Now set to miss his eighth game in 10 days due to a lingering hand injury, Smith could be facing a trip to the injured list if his condition doesn't improve soon. Ben Rortvedt will start behind the plate again and bat ninth.

Soderstrom (groin) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

Soderstrom will sit down for a second consecutive game after experiencing tightness in his groin during Wednesday's contest. His absence will allow Carlos Cortes to pick up another start in left field for the A's.

Doyle isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against San Diego, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Doyle will pick out a spot on the bench after going 1-for-6 with four strikeouts through the first two games of the series. Jordan Beck, Mickey Moniak and Tyler Freeman will start in the outfield for the Rockies while Yanquiel Fernandez serves as their DH.

Ritter (undisclosed) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The Rockies haven't disclosed any information about Ritter's injury, but Saturday will mark the fifth consecutive contest he's missed because of it. Orlando Arcia will start at second and bat ninth against right-hander Dylan Cease; meanwhile, Ritter may be ticketed for a trip to the IL if he doesn't return soon.

Vaughn isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Cardinals.

The 27-year-old will miss a third consecutive start at first base Saturday in favor of Jake Bauers. Vaughn may continue to receive fewer starts going forward now that Bauers and Rhys Hoskins are both off the injured list, but he still seems to have a grip on regular playing time after appearing off the bench in each of Milwaukee's last two contests.

The Rockies placed Dollander on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a patella tendon strain in his left knee.

Dollander will be eligible to return from the injured list to start one of the Rockies' final games of the season, but the more likely outcome is that Colorado keeps him on the shelf for the rest of the year. If that ends up being the case, he would finish his rookie campaign with a 6.52 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 82:49 K:BB through 98 innings across 21 starts. Bradley Blalock was recalled from Triple-A to round out Colorado's rotation.

The Rockies recalled Blalock from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.

The 24-year-old righty will fill the open spot in Colorado's rotation created by Chase Dollander's (knee) move to the IL. Blalock has accumulated an 8.62 ERA and 1.79 WHIP through 47 MLB innings this season and will face a Padres offense that put up 12 runs against him on May 10, so fantasy managers searching for streaming options are likely better off looking elsewhere.
