Since Ezequiel Tovar went on the IL on June 3, Colorado has won as many games (10) as they’ve won with him through the first two months of the season. Can his return to the Rockies improve the lineup and signal a trade that allows Ryan Ritter to stay in the Majors?

Interim manager Warren Schaeffer has been using his full roster, which means several notable starters - Hunter Goodman, Brenton Doyle and Ryan McMahon - have received more days off than in the past. What’s the logic behind keeping the club’s best hitters out of the starting lineup?

Plus, we learn when Hunter Goodman’s name will be announced as an All-Star, James Wood announces his presence with authority, and we wish a Colorado baseball legend a Happy Birthday.
