Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Lit up for five runs in loss
Rotowire
Freeland (0-3) took the loss Sunday at San Diego, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out two.
The veteran southpaw had another rough outing, as he is now three starts from the lead for most games started in Rockies franchise history -- currently held by Aaron Cook at 206. Freeland stumbled out the gate immediately in this appearance, allowing four runs on four hits in the first inning. The 31-year-old has had a tough beginning to the season, sporting a 4.88 ERA and 1.21 WHIP over 24 innings; however, better things may be around the bend for Freeland, as he's pitched to a solid 2.49 FIP with 17:2 K:BB. He currently lines up to make his next start at home against the Nationals this weekend.

Rotowire
Doyle (quadricep) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Doyle will be on the bench for a third consecutive game while he contend with left quad tightness. Per MLB.com, Doyle has said that his condition is improving, but a move to the injured list could be in the forecast if he doesn't return to the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers. With Doyle out once again Sunday, the Rockies will roll out an outfield of Zac Veen, Mickey Moniak and Nick Martini from left to right in the series finale in San Diego.

Rockies' Adael Amador: Summoned from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rockies recalled Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday. He will start at second base and bat ninth in the Rockies' series finale against the Padres.
Amador will join the Rockies' 26-man active roster as a replacement for Tyler Freeman, who was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left oblique strain. The 22-year-old infielder previously hit .171 over 10 games in his first taste of the big leagues last season, but he's gotten off to a hot start to the campaign at Triple-A, slashing .275/.408/.450 with two stolen bases, nine runs scored, two home runs and four RBI across 49 plate appearances. Kyle Farmer has served as the Rockies' primary option at the keystone so far this season, but Amador could end up getting a look in a near-everyday role while he's up with the big club.

Rockies' Tyler Freeman: Lands on 10-day IL
Rotowire
The Rockies placed Freeman on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left oblique strain.
Freeman was initially included in the Rockies' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres, but he was scratched after tweaking his oblique in the batting cage. Further tests revealed a strain, and the injury is severe enough to warrant a stint on the injured list. To shore up their infield depth, the Rockies recalled Adael Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move.
Rockies' Chase Dollander: Gets no support in first MLB loss
Rotowire
Dollander (1-1) took the loss against San Diego on Saturday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over 5.2 innings.
There were plenty of positives to be taken from Dollander's performance -- he racked up 10 whiffs, punched out seven and allowed just three hits. However, two of the knocks were homers, and Colorado couldn't put any runs on the board, resulting in Dollander taking his first loss as a big leaguer. The rookie has given up four home runs over 10.2 frames to begin his MLB career, but he's otherwise looked pretty good with a 13:3 K:BB.
Rockies' Adael Amador: Set to be promoted to majors
Rotowire
The Rockies are set to recall Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque ahead of Sunday's game against the Padres, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
The Rockies have already promoted top prospects Chase Dollander and Zac Veen in the early going this season and are once again dipping into their prospect pool as the team searches for offense. Through 49 plate appearances at Triple-A, Amador is slashing .275/.408/.450 with two home runs, four RBI, nine runs and three stolen bases. Amador figures to slot in at second base for the Rockies once his promotion becomes official. Amador saw action in 10 regular-season games for the Rockies last season but hit just .171 across 36 plate appearances.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Working through quad injury
Rotowire
Doyle is out of Saturday's lineup against the Padres due to a quadriceps injury, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
It's unclear when Doyle tweaked his quad, but the injury will cause him to be out of the Rockies' lineup for two straight games. The team hopes the issue will resolve over the next couple of days, but Doyle could still be available out of the dugout as a pinch hitter in the meantime. He has started the season slashing .321/.357/.547 with seven runs scored, three home runs and 12 RBI across 56 plate appearances.

Rockies' German Marquez: Collapses in fifth inning in loss
Rotowire
Marquez (0-2) took the loss Friday against the Padres, allowing six runs (five earned) on seven hits and one walk in 4.2 innings. He struck out three.
The veteran right-hander retired 12 of the first 14 batters he faced Friday, and his three punchouts all came in the second inning when he fanned the side, but it all came apart during a six-run Padres barrage in the fifth inning. Through three starts, Marquez holds a 4.60 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB over 15.2 innings. Marquez won't be a recommended fantasy option on the road against the Dodgers in his next scheduled start, which is set for the middle of the next week.
Doyle is not in the Rockies' starting lineup against the Padres on Friday.
Doyle will get a rest Friday while the Rockies start Mickey Moniak in center field, with Nick Martini and Zac Veen in the corners. Doyle is in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 12-for-33 with one walk, one stolen base, three home runs and 11 RBI.
