Rockies recalled OF Cole Garner from Triple-A Colorado Springs.
Garner was sent down to the minors earlier this week, but he's back because of the injury to Charlie Blackmon. The 26-year-old will start in right field and bat sixth against Nationals' left-hander John Lannan. Rockies manager Jim Tracy will likely mix and match him in his lineup, so he's worth a wait and see in NL-only leagues.
