Brendan Rodgers's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Rodgers is back in the mix after sitting out the last two games due to right hamstring tightness. He'll cover second base and bat fifth versus right-hander Merrill Kelly on Monday. Rodgers has been better with the bat during the second half of the season. He's hitting over .280 with seven home runs and 22 RBI since the All-Star break. Fantasy managers in season long formats can get Rodgers back in their lineups on Monday.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) remains sidelined on Sunday due to hamstring tightness. However, Patrick Lyons of Justbaseball.com reports that the infielder could return to the starting nine as early as Monday. Rodgers sat out Saturday's game but should not be expected to miss any significant period of time. Before the injury, Rogers held a mere .184/.225/.237 line throughout September with only two extra-base hits. As a result, Aaron Schunk will cover the keystone and bat in the nine-hole. The 27-year-old has tallied at least one hit in each of the past three starts and could be a sneaky play in DFS this afternoon as he will face Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks, who carries a hefty 6.51 ERA.

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers went 3-for-5 with two homers in a 12-8 loss against the Miami Marlins on Thursday. Rodgers collected three runs and three RBI to provide a solid overall line. The 28-year-old has had a rollercoaster August, going 20-for-51 (.392) with three homers and 10 RBI in the first 13 games of the month, then going 7-for-39 (.179) with no homers and one RBI in his last 10 games coming into this one. He probably lies somewhere in between, but for fantasy purposes he should probably only be used when the Rockies have a full slate of home games on the schedule.
