Rockies' Yonathan Daza: Remains on bench Wednesday
Daza isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.
Daza has had an everyday role for the Rockies for most of the last month, and he's hit .279 with a triple, two doubles, three runs, three RBI, three walks and eight strikeouts over his last 11 games. However, he'll remain on the bench for a second consecutive matchup while Sean Bouchard starts in left field and bats second during Wednesday's season finale.

Rockies' Yonathan Daza: Drives in two
Daza went 2-for-4 with a triple and two RBI on Friday against San Diego.
Daza had the opportunity to lead off with Ryan McMahon on the bench. He delivered a two-RBI triple in the fourth inning, which put the Rockies up 3-2. Since coming off the injured list Sept. 6, Daza has hit .357 with one home run, nine RBI and 13 runs scored across 14 games. He's been locked into everyday playing time, which should continue so long as Kris Bryant (foot) remains sidelined.

Rockies' Yonathan Daza: Two hits, RBI in win
Daza went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Wednesday's win over the White Sox.
Daza singled in the first inning before he ripped an RBI base knock in the second frame, driving in teammate Alan Trejo. The outfielder has produced multiple hits in six out of seven games since returning from the injured list Sept. 6, batting .444 with a home run, three doubles, six RBI and eight runs scored over those contests. Daza now owns a .312/.359/.393 slash line over 97 games this season.

Rockies' Yonathan Daza: Takes control of No. 2 spot
Daza will start in left field and bat second in Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.
With Kris Bryant (foot) still stuck on the injured list and without a timeline for a return, Daza looks to have some security as the Rockies' everyday left fielder and No. 2 batter. He'll slot into the two hole for the seventh consecutive contest after producing exactly two hits in five of his last six starts. Daza has driven in five runs and has scored eight times during that six-game stretch.

Rockies' Yonathan Daza: Two hits, four RBI in return
Daza went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer, an RBI double, a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's extra-inning victory over the Brewers.
Making his return the 10-day injured list Tuesday after recovering from a shoulder injury, Daza went off. The outfielder launched a three-run home run off Luis Perdomo in the bottom of the eighth inning and later ripped a game-tying RBI double in the 10th frame before coming around to score on a Randal Grichuk walk-off blast. The long ball was his second of the season and first since July 23. Since the All-Star break, Daza is batting .327 with two homers, nine RBI and eight runs over 55 at-bats in 17 games.

Rockies' Yonathan Daza: Back from injured list
Daza (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
Daza went 4-for-12 with an RBI and three runs over a three-game rehab stint with Triple-A Albuquerque and is now back on the active roster after missing nearly a month with a separated shoulder. The 28-year-old will start in left field and bat second Tuesday versus Milwaukee, but he may not reclaim the everyday role he had prior to the injury with rookies Sean Bouchard and Michael Toglia now in the mix for Colorado.

Rockies' Yonathan Daza: Could be activated soon
Daza (shoulder) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday and has gone 4-for-12 with a walk, three runs and an RBI through his first three contests.
Daza has picked up two starts in center field and one as a designated hitter thus far during the assignment, and he could be ready to make his next appearance with the Rockies. According to Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette, Daza was cleared to return to Colorado this weekend rather than remaining on assignment with Albuquerque, signaling that the big club is comfortable with where he stands in his recovery from the dislocated left shoulder that has kept him on the shelf since Aug. 12. Prior to getting hurt, Daza had been filling a near-everyday role in the Colorado outfield, but it's unclear if he'll play extensively once he's activated from the 10-day IL. The Rockies are currently giving looks to rookies Sean Bouchard and Michael Toglia in the outfield alongside Randal Grichuk, Charlie Blackmon and Garrett Hampson while Kris Bryant (foot) remains without a clear timeline for a return.

Rockies' Yonathan Daza: Week away from swinging bat
Daza (shoulder) said Tuesday that he doesn't think he'll be ready to resume swinging a bat until next week, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Though Daza noted that his dislocated left shoulder is continuing to heal day by day, he's not recovering at a quick enough rate to return from the 10-day injured list this week when he's first eligible. Since Daza will likely need to take batting practice and complete a brief minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated, he's unlikely to rejoin the Rockies until early September at the soonest.

Rockies' Yonathan Daza: Hopes to avoid IL stint
Daza (shoulder) hopes to avoid a trip to the injured list after exiting Thursday's game against St. Louis, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Daza was removed from Thursday's matchup with the Cardinals due to pain in his left shoulder, but the injury doesn't appear to be a significant concern. If he's forced to miss any matchups, Garrett Hampson and Connor Joe are candidates to see increased playing time.

Rockies' Yonathan Daza: Placed on 10-day injured list
Daza was placed on the 10-day injured list with a dislocated left shoulder Friday.
Daza left Thursday's game against the Cardinals with a shoulder injury but said after the matchup that he hoped to avoid a trip to the injured list. He'll be forced to miss at least a week and a half after being diagnosed with a dislocated shoulder, while Garrett Hampson and Connor Joe will likely see increased playing time in Daza's absence.

Rockies' Yonathan Daza: Leaves with shoulder issue
Daza was removed from Thursday's game against the Cardinals with pain in his left shoulder, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Daza didn't register a plate appearance and exited the contest after the first inning, and he should be considered day-to-day until more information is available on the injury. Garrett Hampson took over in center field and could see more playing time if Daza is unavailable for any period.

Rockies' Yonathan Daza: Day off Tuesday
Daza is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, according to Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com.
Daza snapped a seven-game hitting streak in Colorado's last game Sunday, so manager Bud Black decided it would be best to give him a day off. Randal Grichuk will start in center field Tuesday night.

Rockies' Yonathan Daza: Playing time on rise
Daza will start in center field and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
With Charlie Blackmon getting Sunday off, Daza will step into the table-setting role for the fifth time this season. Daza will also be making his fifth consecutive start and seventh in the past eight contests after going 10-for-25 with four doubles, three runs and one RBI during his active seven-game hitting streak. He appears to be picking up playing time at the expense of Connor Joe, who hasn't started in consecutive games since July 28 and 29.

Rockies' Yonathan Daza: Playing time picking up
Daza will start in center field and bat eighth in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Padres, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Daza will crack the lineup for the fifth time in seven games, and he should be one of the primary beneficiaries of increased playing time after Kris Bryant (foot) was moved to the injured list Monday for the third time this season. Though he offers little pop (one home run in 277 plate appearances) and hasn't translated his speed into meaningful stolen-base production in the majors, Daza has been a valuable source of batting average (.294) over his 81 games this season.

Rockies' Yonathan Daza: Takes seat Wednesday
Daza isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Daza went 0-for-4 with a run and a strikeout during Tuesday's win over San Diego and will be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games. Sam Hilliard, Garrett Hampson and Randal Grichuk are starting in the outfield from left to right.

Rockies' Yonathan Daza: Sits in series opener
Daza is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Even with fellow outfielder Kris Bryant (personal) landing on the paternity list Monday, Daza will see his run of four consecutive starts come to an end while Colorado rolls out an outfield of Connor Joe, Garrett Hampson and Charlie Blackmon. Since Bryant is most likely to spend the maximum three days away from the team before returning to the lineup Thursday, Daza should still be in good position to pick up a handful of starts per week.

Rockies' Yonathan Daza: Encroaching on Connor Joe's role
Daza will start in center field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.
C.J. Cron's (wrist) absence from the starting nine for the second game in a row will open spots in the lineup for both Daza and Connor Joe, who gets the start at first base in Cron's stead. Assuming Cron is able to avoid a stint on the injured list and rejoins the lineup for the four-game series with the Padres that begins Monday, Daza could be in line to displace Joe as a mainstay in the Colorado outfield against right-handed pitching. Daza, who already picked up a start against a right-hander in Friday's series opener in Arizona while Joe sat out, finds himself in the lineup for the seventh time in eight games after going 6-for-22 (.273 average) over the previous six contests.
