Peterson was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

He hit just .194/.293/.259 with zero home runs and two steals in 123 plate appearances this season. Johan Camargo was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to take over Peterson's utility duties.

McMahon was promoted to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, Nick Groke of The Denver Post reports.

In his second season with Double-A Hartford, the top prospect showed that he had mastered the level, slashing .326/.390/.536 with six home runs, 28 runs scored and 32 RBI in 49 games. He also added seven steals and learned a new position (second base), pushing the Rockies to advance him up the organizational ladder. McMahon drastically improved his strikeout rate with the Yard Goats this season (19 percent), and if he can keep it up with the Isotopes, his added positional versatility could make him a candidate for a call to the big leagues toward the end of the season.

Arenado went 1-for-5 with a solo home run during Thursday's win over Seattle.

The bomb snapped a nine-game homer drought, which was his longest of the campaign. With 13 homers, 35 RBI, 37 runs and a .276/.336/.547 slash line, Arenado is turning in another monster fantasy campaign. He's established himself as one of the most reliable assets year in, year out, and playing half his games in Coors Field is a nice bonus.

Arenado went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI in Friday's 10-0 win over the Cardinals.

He's hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games, posting a .286/.352/.612 slash line with four homers, 10 RBI and nine runs over that stretch. With the Rockies' offense, and the team as a whole, enjoying a huge start to 2017, Arenado should continue seeing plenty of run-producing opportunities from the heart of the team's batting order.

Rendon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Thursday's loss to Seattle.

It was the fourth home run and ninth RBI of the series for Rendon, as he left the yard for a third straight game Thursday. He's up to a .283/.380/.516 slash line with nine homers, 32 RBI and 23 runs for the year and should continue to provide solid cross-category numbers hitting in the middle of the league's highest-scoring lineup.

Asuaje was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.

Asuaje was recalled Monday, but after two hitless at-bats as a pinch hitter, he'll head back to the minors for more consistent playing time. Dinelson Lamet will take his spot on the active roster in order to make his major-league debut on the mound against the Mets on Thursday.

LeMahieu is not in the Rockies' lineup Thursday against the Phillies, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

The keystoner gets a breather in the matinee but should return to the second post in the lineup Friday. LeMahieu boasts a .290/.365/.382 line in 209 plate appearances. Alexi Amarista takes his place at second base, batting seventh.

Rendon went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Mariners.

The first-inning blast proved to be all the offense Tanner Roark would need in this one. Rendon now has three homers and eight RBI over his last two games after going 11 starts without producing either one, but his .277/.378/.497 slash line, eight home runs and 31 RBI on the season have him on track for a career-best campaign.

Rendon went 3-for-4 with two home runs, five RBI and three runs in Tuesday's 10-1 win over the Mariners.

When Rendon decides to have a game, he really has a game. Tuesday's explosion marked the second time in less than a month that he has put up a multi-homer effort with at least five RBI. The production hasn't been coming consistently for the Nationals' third baseman, though. He hadn't hit a home run or notched an RBI in his last 11 games (46 plate appearances) prior to Tuesday. However, the last time Rendon filled up the box score like this, he hit .333 and drove in eight runs over his next six games, so maybe a similar hot streak is in his future.

Suarez is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Indians.

Suarez will head to the bench for just the second time in May as Carlos Carrasco toes the rubber for the Indians. The 25-year-old is off to a healthy start to the season, slashing .297/.374/.544 with nine homers across 158 at-bats (43 games). Scooter Gennett will draw the start at third base in his stead.
