Jurickson Profar (undisclosed) returns to Rockies lineup Tuesday
Colorado Rockies outfielder Jurickson Profar (undisclosed) is back in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against right-hander Zack Littell and the Tampa Bay Rays.
What It Means:
Profar was held out of the last two lineups in the Rockies' weekend series against the Chicago White Sox for an undisclosed injury. He will start at designated hitter and bat seventh in Tuesday's opener. Charlie Blackmon will start in right field and Michael Toglia will man first base while Elehuris Montero moves to the bench.
Littell has an elevated 4.70 xERA this season and one of the worst hard-hit rates in the majors among qualified pitchers. However, per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, the Rockies still have the second-lowest implied total on Tuesday (3.34) at pitcher-friendly Tropicana Field.
