Tovar is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Tovar will sit for the second time in the series while the Rockies go with Cole Carrigg at shortstop in the finale. Though he's posted a career-worst .580 OPS over 404 plate appearances on the season, Tovar has heated up a bit in August, slashing .310/.344/.448 through his first nine contests of the month.
