Rumfield went 3-for-4 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-8 loss to the Cardinals.
Rumfield has continued to take care of business lately, going 17-for-38 (.447) with six extra-base hits and seven RBI during his 11-game hitting streak. The first baseman also has a studly 12:4 BB:K in that span. For the season, the rookie has reaped the rewards of hitting in Colorado, batting .299 with an .849 OPS over 139 contests, with those numbers bumping up to .307 and .890, respectively, when at home. He's added 15 home runs, 67 RBI, 61 runs scored, 28 doubles and three triples overall.

Rockies' Mickey Moniak: Homers, drives in four
Rotowire
Moniak went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 10-8 loss to the Cardinals.
Moniak hit an RBI single in the first inning and then added his homer in the third, both off Kyle Leahy. Prior to Sunday, Moniak had gone 0-for-7 over his last three games, and he had gone 12 contests without a homer. For the season, the veteran outfielder is batting .251 with a .791 OPS, 22 homers, 64 RBI, 47 runs scored, 16 doubles, four triples and one stolen base over 103 games.

Rockies' Jake McCarthy: Productive in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
McCarthy went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, three total RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-8 loss to the Cardinals.
McCarthy is batting .324 (12-for-37) over his last nine games, adding five extra-base hits and four steals in that span. The outfielder is also up to 75 RBI on the year, a strong number for a player who has primarily worked out of the leadoff spot. He's at a .293 average, .821 OPS, 15 home runs, 29 doubles, eight triples, 29 stolen bases and 71 runs scored over 128 contests.

Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Roughed up by Cardinals
Rotowire
Gordon allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out four over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Cardinals on Sunday.
Gordon was able to avoid giving up a home run, but a decent start fell apart in the fifth frame. Since the beginning of August, he's given up 20 runs (18 earned) over 35.1 innings across seven games, providing uneven performances, though the Coors Field effect has had a large role in that. Overall, he has a 5.40 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 76:17 K:BB through 93.1 innings over 21 games (nine starts). Gordon is projected to make his next appearance in Detroit.
Amador will start at second base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Amador has been the main beneficiary of a left heel injury to Willi Castro, which sent the infielder to the shelf Saturday. The 23-year-old will cover the keystone for a third straight game and will stay in the lineup for the fifth consecutive contest overall after going 7-for-15 with a home run, a double, a walk, three RBI and four runs since being recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Rockies' Connor Norby: Resting up Sunday
Rotowire
Norby is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Norby will get a breather after he had started in each of the last 13 games while slashing .271/.375/.354 with one home run, one double, seven walks, nine RBI and eight runs during that stretch. Vimael Machin will get the nod at third base in his stead Sunday, but Norby should have a clear path to an everyday role while Kyle Karros (concussion) and Willi Castro (foot) remain on the shelf.

Rockies' Zac Veen: Not in Sunday's lineup
Rotowire
Veen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Veen has gone 4-for-22 (.182 average) with 12 strikeouts in his past 14 contests and will take a seat Sunday for the fourth time in the past seven games. Jake McCarthy, Cole Carrigg and Troy Johnston will start from left to right in the outfield Sunday while Mickey Moniak serves as the designated hitter.

Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Getting breather Sunday
Rotowire
Goodman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Goodman will hit the bench Sunday after a run of eight straight starts, during which he batted .219 (7-for-32) with three walks, two doubles, four RBI, four runs and 12 strikeouts. Brett Sullivan will instead do the catching for Tanner Gordon while batting seventh in the series finale versus St. Louis.

Rockies' Troy Johnston: Starts key rally
Rotowire
Johnston went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Cardinals.
Johnston helped ignite a six-run rally in the fifth inning for the Rockies, singling in a run before coming around to score. He has started only eight of the team's last 14 games since Aug. 22. Johnston has hit well in that span, going 11-for-31 with one home run, four RBI and three runs scored. However, his lack of counting stats and inconsistent playing time diminish his value to fantasy managers.
Norby went 1-for-2 with two walks, two runs scored and an RBI on Saturday against the Cardinals.
Norby has started 13 straight games and has hit second in each of Colorado's last three games against a lefty. He was on base four times Saturday -- he was also hit by a pitch -- bringing his OBP to .375 in his last 13 games. Norby also has one homer, nine RBI and eight runs scored in that span.

Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar: Registers steal in win
Rotowire
Tovar went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-7 win over the Cardinals.
Tovar's place in the lineup has been slipping lately -- he's started just five of the Rockies' last eight games, and in only one of the four games against right-handed starters in that span. The shortstop has gone 10-for-30 (.333) with three RBI over his last 12 contests, but that's been a brief bright spot in an otherwise disappointing year. Tovar is batting .213 with a .596 OPS, seven steals, 10 home runs, 41 RBI and 46 runs scored over 130 contests this season.

Rockies' Jake McCarthy: Logs pair of steals
Rotowire
McCarthy went 1-for-3 with two walks, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-7 win over the Cardinals.
McCarthy's surge on the basepaths has seen him notch nine steals over his last 18 games. In that span, he's batting .257 (19-for-74) with five RBI. McCarthy has a career-high 29 steals this season, but it's the overall package that has elevated him to a consistent spot atop the lineup for the Rockies. He's also batting .290 with an .811 OPS, 14 home runs, 72 RBI, 69 runs scored, 29 doubles and eight triples across 127 contests.

Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Records ninth steal
Rotowire
Carrigg went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 10-7 win over the Cardinals.
Carrigg has logged multiple hits in three straight games, going 7-for-14 with three RBI in that span. The outfielder picked up his ninth steal of the year Saturday, with six of those thefts coming since the start of August. He's batting .269 with an .802 OPS, seven home runs, 39 RBI, 41 runs scored, 19 doubles and four triples across 73 contests this season.

Rockies' Jordan Romano: Bounces back with save
Rotowire
Romano struck out one without allowing a run, hit or walk over two-thirds of an inning to earn the save in Saturday's 10-7 win over the Cardinals.
Juan Mejia wasn't able to make quick work of the Cardinals in the ninth inning, creating a save situation. Romano got the job done instead, rebounding from his blown save and loss Friday. Romano is now at a 4.88 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 31:15 K:BB across 27.2 innings between the Rockies and the Angels this year. He's converted 15 of 19 save chances while adding one hold. Considering Romano has pitched consecutive days, he may not be available to take a save chance Sunday.

Rockies' Mason Adams: Fans seven in no-decision
Rotowire
Adams allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out seven over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Cardinals on Saturday.
Adams logged the highest strikeout total of his three starts so far, but his Coors Field debut was otherwise unimpressive. All three runs he allowed came on homers, as Joshua Baez hit a solo shot in the second inning and Ivan Herrera added a two-run blast in the fifth. Adams is now at a 3.95 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB through 13.2 frames in the majors. He's projected to make his next start at Detroit.
Freeman cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Triple-A Albuquerque.
Freeman has slashed just .247/.317/.314 across 288 plate appearances with the Rockies this season, and he'll likely play out the remainder of the season at Triple-A after passing through waivers unclaimed. His 40-man roster spot was filled by Vimael Machin, who was selected to the active roster Saturday.

Rockies' Vimael Machin: Contract selected
Rotowire
The Rockies selected Machin's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.
With Willi Castro (plantar fasciitis) moving to the injured list Saturday, Machin will join the parent club to bolster Colorado's infield depth. The 32-year-old has spent the entire season at Albuquerque, slashing .290/.371/.445 with 12 homers, 73 RBI and 61 runs scored across 488 plate appearances.
