Rockies' Alan Trejo: Sticks as regular in middle infield
Rotowire
Trejo will start at second base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Padres.
The arrival of top prospect Ezequiel Tovar in the big leagues has ended Trejo's run as Colorado's primary shortstop, but Brendan Rodgers' (hamstring) recent move to the injured list has opened up an everyday role for Trejo at the keystone. He'll be making his third straight start at the position after he had manned shortstop each of the prior four contests.

Rockies' Alan Trejo: Hitting well in everyday role
Rotowire
Trejo went 2-for-5 with an RBI on Monday against the Giants.
Trejo singled in a run in the second inning and managed to record his first multi-hit game since Sept. 9. Despite the slow stretch, he's hit .308 with two home runs, seven RBI and five runs scored since taking over as Colorado's primary shortstop Sept. 4. Jose Iglesias (thumb) hasn't made much reported progress toward a return, so Trejo should continue to see regular playing time in the short term.

Rockies' Alan Trejo: Streak of starts ends
Rotowire
Trejo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
With Brendan Rodgers (back) returning to the starting nine, Trejo's four-game streak of starting at second base will come to an end. Trejo went 3-for-15 with a double, a walk and three runs over that four-game stretch, and he could end up picking up at least a handful of starts per week if Rodgers' struggles continue even though he's ostensibly healthy again. Rodgers heads into Sunday's game with a lowly .078/.172/.098 slash line across his 58 plate appearances on the campaign.
