Carlos Gonzalez was scratched from Sunday's lineup due to lower back stiffness. The Rockies are without both of their stars, as Troy Tulowitzki (hip) is sitting out, as well. CarGo's injury seems like a day-to-day situation. Ty Wigginton took his spot in left field.

Carlos Gonzalez finished 4-for-6 with two RBI against the Dodgers on Friday. Two of his hits were bunt singles. Gonzalez has now driven in a run in 11 straight games, breaking Vinny Castilla's Rockies record. It's the longest streak in the majors since Jorge Cantu drove in runs in 14 straight in Sept. 2009-Apr. 2010.

Carlos Gonzalez homered yet again Friday, giving the Rockies their only run in a loss to the Dodgers. Gonzalez, making a case for NL player of the month honors, has seven homers and 24 RBI during his current 13-game hitting streak.

Carlos Gonzalez went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI on Monday, helping the Rockies to a 9-5 win against the Astros. CarGo is riding a 10-game hitting streak. He's homered in four of his last six games and six of his last 10. Gonzalez has been raking in August, posting a .985 OPS entering Monday's game and racking up 23 RBI total.

Carlos Gonzalez went 2-for-3 with a home run and four RBI on Wednesday, helping the Rockies to a 12-5 rout of the Marlins. CarGo roped an RBI single in the first before taking Ricky Nolasco deep for a three-run bomb in the third. He's now homered four times in his past six games, and is hitting .271 with 15 RBI in August.

Carlos Gonzalez launched a three-run homer Saturday, helping the Rockies to a 6-1 win over the Cardinals. CarGo also plated Seth Smith on a ground rule double to right field in the top of the ninth inning. The dynamic outfielder seems to be growing more comfortable as he moves further and further away from his wrist injury.

Carlos Gonzalez went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Colorado's win over the Reds on Monday. CarGo is now 4-for-15 with four RBI since coming off the disabled list on Saturday. So far at least, his wrist isn't looking like it will be an issue down the stretch.

Rockies activated Carlos Gonzalez from the 15-day disabled list. CarGo is back in the Rockies' starting lineup on Saturday, batting third against the Nationals. He returns to a cool .289/.358/.491 triple slash line, 15 homers and 16 stolen bases. Gonzalez's wrist held up over three rehab games where he hit .300.

Carlos Gonzalez (wrist) is expected to be activated from the disabled list Saturday. It had looked like his return to the lineup would be delayed until Sunday after Wednesday's rehab game was rained out, but evidently the Rockies are convinced he's ready after he went 3-for-10 at the plate in three rehab games. More importantly, though, is that the wrist held up.

Carlos Gonzalez (wrist) went 2-for-4 with a run scored Thursday in his first rehab game for Triple-A Colorado Springs. CarGo's first game was supposed to be Wednesday, but that got rained out. The Rockies want him to play three rehab games, so he'll now return on Sunday instead of Saturday. That's assuming, of course, that the wrist that's bothered him since early July isn't any issue anymore.
