Rockies' Michael Toglia: Heading to bench Monday
Rotowire
Toglia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Orlando Arcia will get the start at first base while Toglia exits the lineup for the first time since July 3. Since slugging his 10th home run of the season in a July 6 win over the White Sox, Toglia's production has tailed off at the plate. He's slashing just .125/.200/.188 with a pair of extra-base hits (both doubles) and a 40 percent strikeout rate over his last nine games.
Toglia went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Sunday against the White Sox.
Toglia had gone 13 starts since homering, but he ended that drought Sunday with a two-run blast in the fifth inning. Despite the lack of power, he's in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 7-for-23. Since being recalled June 16, Toglia has 10 RBI and five runs scored across 18 contests while hitting .250.
Toglia is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Astros.
After slugging three home runs in his first three games following his June 16 call-up from Triple-A Albuquerque, Toglia has gone 9-for-48 with a 44 percent strikeout rate over his last 12 games. He'll get a day off to regroup while Orlando Arcia occupies first base.
Toglia went 3-for-5 with two RBI doubles and an additional double during Tuesday's 9-7 loss to the Dodgers.
Toglia clubbed a double in each of his first three at-bats, marking his fifth three-hit game of the campaign and his first career game with three doubles. In 242 plate appearances this season, Toglia is slashing .210/.277/.397 with nine home runs and three stolen bases.
Toglia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Nationals.
Toglia has started three straight games since being recalled by Colorado on Monday and has showcased the power that was missing earlier in the season. He homered in a second consecutive contest Wednesday with a solo blast in the sixth inning and has three total since his promotion. While that production is encouraging, he has struck out once in every contest and has a 38.2 percent overall strikeout rate across 220 plate appearances for the season.
