Manager Aaron Boone indicated after Friday's game that Torres (groin) was available off the bench, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Despite being available, Torres never entered the contest, leaving his status for Saturday's game in question. Jahmai Jones or Oswaldo Cabrera would likely enter the lineup if Torres remains on the bench.

Iglesias went 4-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored in Friday's 11-1 win over the Cubs.

Iglesias was active early, singling and scoring a run in the second inning, hitting an RBI single in the third and adding a two-run single in the fourth. He later added another base hit in the seventh. Iglesias has gone an impressive 14-for-32 with six RBI and five runs scored in his return to the majors while primarily starting at second base against left-handed pitchers.

Stefanic is starting at second base and batting eighth in Friday's game against the Dodgers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Stefanic was inserted into Friday's lineup after Brandon Drury was scratched due to an illness. Since being recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on June 8, Stefanic has played in seven major-league games, going 6-for-22 with four RBI.

Drury was scratched from the Angels' lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Dodgers due to an illness, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

After being scratched from Wednesday's lineup, Drury was set to return to action Friday following the team's off day Thursday. His illness appears to have lingered, however. Michael Stefanic will start at second base and bat eighth against Dodgers right-hander Landon Knack, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register.

Drury (illness) is batting sixth and playing second base Friday against the Dodgers.

Drury was a late scratch Wednesday due to illness but after a team day off Thursday, he's feeling good enough to play. The second baseman is 1-for-6 since returning from the IL on Monday and owns a .469 OPS on the year.

Amador (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday.

Amador suffered a right oblique strain in Thursday's game against the Dodgers, a injury similar to one he sustained earlier in the season at Double-A Hartford. Considering Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) is coming off the IL and Amador put up a .394 OPS in 10 big-league games, the 21-year-old doesn't have a clear path to at-bats in Colorado once he gets healthy.

Rodgers (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Rodgers is officially back on the Rockies' active roster after missing exactly two weeks of action. While he isn't in the lineup for Friday's contest, he should be expected to take over second base duties from Alan Trejo this weekend.

Lux is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

With the Dodgers facing a lefty for the second straight night, Lux will once again be held out of the starting lineup. Instead, Chris Taylor will bat eighth and play second base.

Amador will be placed on the injured list Friday with a right oblique strain, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Amador's move to the injured list comes as Brendan Rodgers gets activated from the IL, meaning the rookie's playing time was coming to an end regardless. The 21-year-old Amador appeared in 10 games with the Rockies but struggled to a .171/.194/.200 slash line with a stolen base. While it's unclear how long he'll be sidelined, there is optimism that his recovery will be quick.

Rodgers (hamstring) will be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Rodgers suffered a mild left hamstring strain June 7 and after a couple weeks of recovery and a brief minor-league rehab assignment, he'll rejoin the Rockies active roster. Adael Amador (oblique) will hit the IL in a corresponding move. Prior to the injury, Rodgers owned a .699 OPS across 230 plate appearances.
