Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Heading to bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Doyle is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.
With Doyle taking a seat for the third time in eight games, Jake McCarthy will pick up a start in center field. Though Doyle's status as a two-time Gold Glove Award winner aids his playing-time outlook, his poor form at the plate to begin the season could continue to cost him a couple starts per week. He's batting just .188 with two extra-base hits and a career-worst 37.7 percent strikeout rate over 53 plate appearances.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Gets into homer column in loss
Rotowire
Doyle went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 12-inning loss to the Padres on Thursday.
Doyle produced the first run of the game with a 408-foot solo blast to center field in the third inning. The long ball was his first of the season and just his second extra-base hit of any kind.

He batted ninth in the order for the first time this season Thursday and may need additional productive performances to work his way up from that spot.
