Hicks is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

The left-handed-hitting Hicks will take a seat with southpaw Kyle Freeland on the bump for Colorado, but the rookie Rule 5 draft pick should have a clearer path to playing time versus righties after the Marlins recently dropped Matt Mervis from the 40-man roster. Hicks -- who started in three of the Marlins' previous four matchups with right-handers -- is slashing .276/.351/.469 with four home runs and 22 RBI across 113 plate appearances on the season.

Sanchez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

With southpaw Kyle Freeland starting for the Rockies, the Marlins will send Sanchez and Kyle Stowers to the bench to make room for a couple of extra right-handed bats in Javier Sanoja and Heriberto Hernandez. Sanchez started in the first two games of the series and went 5-for-8 with two doubles, two RBI, two runs, one walk and one stolen base.

Stowers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

The lefty-hitting Stowers will get the afternoon off while the Rockies send southpaw Kyle Freeland to the bump in the series finale. Javier Sanoja will pick up the start in center field in place of Stowers.

Feltner (back) resumed throwing Monday but is not ready for game action, MLB.com reports.

Feltner suffered a setback and was scratched from a scheduled rehab outing May 27. It's a positive sign that he's been able to resume throwing since, but a return in late June appears to be the best-case scenario.

Beck went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base Tuesday against the Marlins.

Beck had struggled across the Rockies' road trip, going just 2-for-23 in the first seven games. He broke that cold stretch with a strong performance Tuesday and recorded his first RBI since May 17. Beck also managed his eighth stolen base of the year, four of which have come in his last 20 games.

Freeman went 3-for-4 with a run scored Tuesday against the Marlins.

Freeman has started five of the last six games for the Rockies, four of which have come in right field. He's performed well with the opportunity, going 7-for-16 with one home run, four RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base. Colorado has rotated its outfield consistently this season, but Freeman seems to have a hold on a regular lineup spot for the time being.

Goodman went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and a double in Tuesday's win over the Marlins.

Goodman caught fire in Miami. His go-ahead, solo blast in the eighth inning Tuesday was his third home run in two games, leading the Rockies to their first series win of 2025. Shockingly, despite his home park being Coors Field, eight of Goodman's 10 home runs this year have come on the road. That's led to an impressive .908 road OPS and a disappointing .682 OPS at home. Goodman is slashing .277/.325/.477 with 23 extra-base hits and 35 RBI through 59 games this season.

Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday in his first game with Single-A Palm Beach.

Rodriguez had been promoted earlier in the day from the rookie-level Florida Complex League, where he had slashed a ridiculous .362/.506/.828 with seven home runs and a 15:16 K:BB over 19 games. At 18, he's one of the youngest players in full-season ball. There are questions as to whether Rodriguez will be able to stick at catcher, but he's become one of the better power-hitting prospects in the low minors, slugging 18 homers in 62 contests.

Halvorsen didn't allow a baserunner and earned the save with a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday against the Marlins.

Zach Agnos (personal) had recorded two consecutive saves for the Rockies but is currently on the bereavement list. That set Halvorsen up for the save chance Tuesday, and he delivered his third save of the season. After a slow start to the year, Halvorsen has turned in five scoreless efforts in his last six appearances.

Alcantara did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's loss to Colorado. He allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out four over six innings.

While he couldn't beat the worst team in MLB, Alcantara still snapped an ugly run that lasted over a month. He worked through four shutout frames before the Rockies plated a pair of runs in the fifth inning. Alcantara delivered his first quality start since April 23. He gave up at least four runs in each of his six outings between those two starts, resulting in a brutal 10.08 ERA over 27.2 frames. After three straight outings with at least 100 pitches thrown, he's thrown 71 and 70 pitches in his last two appearances. Still searching for his first win since April 12, Alcantara is expected to make his next start in Pittsburgh.
