The Rockies could use second baseman DJ LeMahieu at shortstop in the wake of Troy Tulowitzki's rib injury, the Denver Post reports.
Although the Rockies have called up Josh Rutledge, who played shortstop last season when Tulowitzki was hurt, LeMahieu played shortstop every day at Triple-A Colorado Springs before coming up to play second base this season. Both LeMahieu and Rutledge have extensive professional experience at both middle infield positions, so the Rockies can use whatever middle infield deployment they (or the players) feel most comfortable with.
