Goodman Scratched Again: Rockies Lineup Shaken
18 Aug
Summary
- Hunter Goodman was scratched from the lineup for a second consecutive day due to a shoulder issue.
- The Rockies made several lineup changes against the Dodgers and Blake Snell due to Goodman's absence.
- Veteran pitcher Michael Lorenzen was designated for assignment by the Rockies on Monday.
Hunter Goodman, the Colorado Rockies' catcher, was again scratched from Monday's starting lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers due to an ongoing shoulder issue. This marks the second consecutive day Goodman has been removed from the lineup at the last minute, though he remains day-to-day with no immediate plans for an injured list stint.
Goodman's persistent absence necessitated significant adjustments to the Rockies' batting order for their game against Dodgers' left-hander Blake Snell. Cole Carrigg shifted to third base, and Jordan Beck moved up to second in the lineup. Brett Sullivan is starting behind the plate.
In other roster news, the Rockies designated veteran right-handed pitcher Michael Lorenzen for assignment on Monday. Right-handed pitcher TJ Shook was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque to fill his spot. Manager Warren Schaeffer confirmed that Tanner Gordon will take Lorenzen's place in the starting rotation moving forward. The primary concern for the team remains Goodman's availability, as consecutive attempts to reinstate him have been unsuccessful.
