Rodgers removed from game on Friday
Brendan Rodgers was removed from Friday’s game against the Cardinals with a left hamstring injury. Rockies skipper Bud Black told reporters afterwards that Rodgers felt a small grab while running out a fielder’s choice in the fourth inning of Friday’s game, which led to his early exit. He added that Rodgers will rest and undergo treatment in the coming days in the hope that he’ll avoid a trip to the injured list. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. It doesn’t sound like he’ll return to Colorado’s lineup until early next week.
Carlson has rare two-hit game for Cards
Dylan Carlson went 2-for-4 with three RBI in an 8-5 win for St. Louis over the Rockies. Carlson singled home a run in the sixth, and that tied the game at 5-5. The outfielder gave the Cardinals an 8-5 lead two innings latter with a two-run double, and that’s the first two-bagger of the season for the 25-year-old. Carlson once looked like a potential fantasy stalwart, but injuries and inconsistent play have left him as a player that should be left on the waiver wire in the overwhelming majority of leagues.
