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.

Horwitz is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Cleveland.

After starting five straight games following his promotion, Horwitz has now been on the bench three times in the last seven contests, including twice against right-handers. Orelvis Martinez is getting the call at second base Friday.

Torres (groin) was deemed day-to-day after his MRI came back clean Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Torres was lifted from Thursday's game as a precaution due to right groin discomfort, and an MRI confirmed that the injury isn't anything serious. Still, Torres may need a day or two for recovery, which could open up more work for Oswaldo Cabrera and Jahmai Jones.

Amador (oblique) is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Nationals.

Amador had to be pulled from Thursday's game against the Dodgers with a mild oblique issue. It seems at this point to be more of a day-to-day situation, but between the injury, his slow start and Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) being due back soon, Amador looks like an easy drop in most redraft leagues.

Torres (groin) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

Torres exited Thursday's game with right groin soreness and will get the night off Friday to recover. Oswaldo Cabrera will bat ninth and play second base.

Marte is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Philadelphia.

Marte served as the Diamondbacks' designated hitter Thursday and is now out of their lineup altogether, although there's no indication at this point that this is anything other than a routine day off. Blaze Alexander is handling second base Friday.
