Doyle went 2-for-5 with a triple, a double, four RBI and one run scored in Thursday's 14-5 win over the Dodgers.
Doyle knocked in two runs with each of his two hits in the contest. This was just his fifth multi-hit effort in 24 games in September, and he's batting .250 (20-for-80) for the month. That's better than his .199 mark on the year, which comes with a meager .584 OPS in 123 contests overall. Doyle has added nine home runs, 45 RBI, 46 runs scored and 20 stolen bases.

Rotowire
Doyle went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-3 loss against the Cubs.
Doyle laced a run-scoring double in the second inning before bunting his way on and stealing second base in the fourth. Known best for his fielding prowess and speed, the 25-year-old outfielder showcased the latter once again Saturday, giving him 20 steals in his rookie campaign. In 118 games this season, Doyle is hitting .197 with 15 doubles, nine home runs, 41 RBI and 45 runs scored across 371 at-bats.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Mashes three-run blast
Rotowire
Doyle went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 11-10 loss to the Giants.
Doyle smacked a 445-foot three-run homer to making it a 9-5 deficit for the Rockies in the sixth. It was Doyle's ninth home run of the year and his first since Aug. 15. The rookie started in all seven games for the Rockies over the last week and tallied six RBI over that span and should hold down a near-everyday role in center field to close out the season.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Path to playing time clears up
Rotowire
Doyle will start in center field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Padres.
Doyle had already been seeing fairly steady playing time in the outfield since the All-Star break in the absence of both Charlie Blackmon (hand) and Kris Bryant (finger), but the Rockies' recent trade of Randal Grichuk to the Angels should free up center field for Doyle even when Blackmon and Bryant return to action. Doyle will man center for a fourth consecutive game, even while he remains in an extended funk at the plate. Thus far in the second half, Doyle is hitting just .133/.204/.244 with one home run and two stolen bases while striking out at a 42.9 percent clip.
Doyle will start in center field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Coming out of the All-Star break, Doyle appeared to be at risk of shifting into more of a part-time role, but he should be in store for steady playing time after Kris Bryant (finger) joined Charlie Blackmon (hand) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. While starting in all but one of the Rockies' games so far in the second half, Doyle is batting just .179 but has provided a home run and two stolen bases.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Strong showing in win
Rotowire
Doyle went 1-for-2 with a double, a walk, two RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 7-2 win over the Yankees.
Doyle's playing time slipped before the All-Star break after a poor June, but he got the nod in center field to begin the second half. The speedy outfielder is up to 13 steals this season, including three over his last nine games, despite batting just .217 (5-for-23) in that span. Doyle has a .216/.277/.364 slash line with six home runs, 24 RBI, 27 runs scored, six doubles and a triple over 196 plate appearances. He'll need to hit a bit better to keep getting consistent work, as the Rockies enjoy relatively strong outfield health at the moment with five players competing for three spots.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Takes seat again Wednesday
Rotowire
Doyle is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.
After sitting out Tuesday's 4-1 loss while right-hander Brandon Bielak was on the mound for Houston, Doyle will remain on the bench while the Astros bring another righty (J.P. France) to the bump for the series finale. The Rockies haven't disclosed that Doyle is dealing with an injury, so he may simply be the odd man out of a suddenly crowded outfield following Kris Bryant's recent return from the injured list. Randal Grichuk will cover center field in place of Doyle, who's loss of playing time comes while he's slashed an unremarkable. 190/.264/.278 since the beginning of June.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: On bench Thursday
Rotowire
Doyle is out of the lineup Thursday against the Dodgers.
Randal Grichuk will start in center field and bat seventh as the Rockies take on the Dodgers and right-hander Emmet Sheehan. Doyle tallied his 11th stolen base of the year Wednesday but is slashing just .175/.254/.286 over his last 20 games (71 plate appearances) dating back to the first week of June.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Struggling to make contact
Rotowire
Doyle went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base Wednesday against the Dodgers.
Doyle had a productive day, highlighted by his 11th stolen base of the season and third in his last 12 games. However, he also punched out twice and has a 38.1 percent strikeout rate in that same span. Despite maintaining just a .648 OPS across 170 plate appearances for the season, Doyle remains the Rockies' everyday center fielder.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Prevents shutout Saturday
Rotowire
Doyle went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 25-1 loss to the Angels.
Doyle's eighth-inning blast was far too late to make a difference outside of preventing the shutout. The outfielder has homered twice in his last three games, and he's hit safely in nine of his last 12 contests, though he has no multi-hit efforts in that span. For the season, he's at a .215/.267/.376 slash line with six homers, 20 RBI, 20 runs scored and 10 stolen bases over 48 contests. His recent slump has yet to cost him much playing time -- he remains the Rockies' starter in center field.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Ends power drought
Rotowire
Doyle went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Reds.
Doyle went deep to lead off the game and tally his fifth homer of the season, though he struck out in his other three at-bats. His long ball snapped a 28-game homerless stretch, during which he had only three total extra-base hits and struck out at a 34 percent clip. Despite those struggles, Doyle has retained a regular role in the lineup as the Rockies' center fielder.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Swipes ninth bag
Rotowire
Doyle went 1-for-2 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Red Sox.
The rookie outfielder was also caught stealing, but he's still 9-for-11 on the basepaths over 40 contests since his promotion from Triple-A in late April. Doyle isn't adding a lot of other fantasy value, however -- he's mired in a 23-game homer drought, a stretch in which he carries a .203/.250/.257 slash line and a 35 percent strikeout rate.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Two hits, steal Thursday
Rotowire
Doyle went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a steal in Thursday's 5-4 loss against the Diamondbacks.
Doyle's now 8-for-8 on stolen base attempts through his first 30 games with Colorado. The rookie outfielder has cooled off a bit at the plate, going 5-for-25 (.200) over his last eight games. Still, it's been a generally productive start for the 25-year-old. He's slashing .244/.284/.433 with four homers, 15 runs scored and 15 RBI. Doyle should continue to serve as the Rockies' primary center fielder as Randal Grichuk mans left while Kris Bryant (heel) is on the shelf.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Remains out
Rotowire
Doyle (knee) remains out of the lineup Saturday against the Mets, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Doyle had to be carted off the field after crashing into the wall Thursday against Miami, but the Rockies are reportedly optimistic he suffered nothing worse than a bruise. He needs at least one more day off, however, so Randal Grichuk will get the task of patrolling the middle of the Coors Field outfield behind Chase Anderson.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Optimism after exit Thursday
Rotowire
Rockies manager Bud Black expressed optimism after Thursday's game that Doyle (knee) will be able to avoid the injured list, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.
Doyle had to be carted off the field after crashing hard into the center field wall while attempting to rob a home run in the top of the ninth inning, but early indications are that he only suffered a knee contusion. The dynamic 25-year-old was 1-for-4 with a walk and an RBI prior to his exit Thursday. He's tallied four homers and seven steals through his first 25 major-league games.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Logs seventh steal
Rotowire
Doyle went 0-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 5-3 win over the Marlins.
Doyle has gone 9-for-26 (.346) with three home runs and two steals over his last eight contests. The outfielder's strong hitting, aside from a 4:25 BB:K, has helped him take over as the Rockies' starting center fielder, though he'll occasionally cede the spot to Randal Grichuk. Doyle has seven steals, four homers, 13 RBI, 14 runs scored and a .254/.296/.507 slash line through 71 plate appearances.
