The Rockies transferred Criswell (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Monday.

The move frees a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Braxton Fulford. Criswell will miss the 2025 season and likely part of the 2026 campaign while recovering from Tommy John surgery.

White will start in left field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

White will enter the lineup for the second game in a row. While filling in for a resting Bryan De La Cruz in left field in Sunday's 8-3 loss to the Rays, White went 0-for-2 with a walk. De La Cruz is back in action Monday, but he'll serve as Atlanta's designated hitter after Marcell Ozuna (hip) didn't make the trip to Toronto for the three-game series. Atlanta is hopeful that Ozuna will return to the lineup for Friday's series opener versus Minnesota, so White's run as a starter will likely be short-lived.

Rodriguez was removed in the first inning of Monday's game against the Nationals due to a right finger injury, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

The injury occurred when Paul Skenes hit James Wood on the foot with a pitch, which deflected and struck Rodriguez on his right index finger. Henry Davis has come in to serve behind home plate, and an update on Rodriguez's injury should come during or shortly after the conclusion of Monday's contest.

The Rockies placed Bryant on the 10-day injured list Monday with lumbar degenerative disc disease.

Back injuries have plagued Bryant throughout his tenure with the Rockies and this latest stint on the injured list figures to be a lengthy one. The 33-year-old has just a .400 OPS and 31.7 percent strikeout rate in 11 games for Colorado this season. Kyle Farmer is starting at designated hitter Monday while Adael Amador plays second base.

Kelenic is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

The left-handed-hitting Kelenic will retreat to the bench while the Blue Jays send southpaw Easton Lucas to the hill for the series opener. Stuart Fairchild will pick up a start in right field in place of Kelenic.

The Rockies selected Fulford's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

Colorado opened up room for Fulford on the 26-man active roster by placing Kris Bryant (back) on the injured list. Fulford had gotten off to a strong start to the season at Albuquerque, slashing .395/.477/.868 with five home runs and 10 RBI across 44 plate appearances. The 26-year-old will provide a third catcher behind Hunter Goodman and Jacob Stallings. Fulford's arrival could allow Goodman to see more time as the Rockies' designated hitter following Bryant's placement on the IL, which would allow the more defensive-minded Stallings to see more opportunities behind the plate.

Bryant is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Dodgers.

Bryant isn't dealing with any known injury, but this is the second day in a row he's been out of the lineup and the third time across the last four games versus a right-hander that he hasn't started. The 33-year-old has a .400 OPS and 31.7 percent strikeout rate in his first 11 tilts this season. For the second straight day, Kyle Farmer is starting at designated hitter Monday while Adael Amador plays second base.

Doyle (quad) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

Doyle will miss a fourth consecutive start due to left quad tightness. The outfielder is day-to-day, but the Rockies will have to consider a stint on the injured list if Doyle isn't ready to play soon. Mickey Moniak is covering center field and batting sixth in Monday's series opener.

Snell (shoulder) resumed his throwing program Monday by playing catch, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Snell landed on the 15-day injured list April 6 due to left shoulder inflammation that he initially tried to pitch through. He was shut down from throwing following his placement on the IL, but Monday's session indicates that the 32-year-old is progressing in his recovery, though he'll need to work up to bullpen sessions before the Dodgers have a better idea of a return date for the veteran southpaw. Snell noted after the throwing session that he felt better than expected, and the club is hopeful he'll throw again Tuesday, per Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com.

Dunn is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

With lefty Tarik Skubal on the bump for Detroit, the left-handed-hitting Dunn will give way to platoon mate Vinny Capra at third base. Dunn has logged 28 of his 34 plate appearances against right-handed pitching this season, but he's still slashing an underwhelming .194/.212/.258 while striking out at 23.5 percent clip.
