Descalso went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in a loss Monday to the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Descalso has three home runs and a .667 slugging percentage in eight games since returning from the paternity list September 2. He owns a sharp .267/.368/.431 batting line on the year, and with the help of Coors Field, he could be one of the best under-the-radar fantasy shortstops available for the stretch run.

Descalso returned from the paternity list Friday and hit a pinch-hit solo home run against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
He got three games off to be with his family for the birth of his child, but is back in the mix for the Rockies. Descalso and Cristhian Adames should split the duties at shortstop over the final month of the season.

Descalso was placed on the paternity list Wednesday, the Denver Post's Nick Kosmider reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rockies are off Thursday, so Descalso will likely return for the first game of the weekend series against the Diamondbacks on Friday. In the meantime, Cristhian Adames is starting at shortstop Wednesday and hitting seventh against the Dodgers in Game 1 of a doubleheader.

Descalso is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Descalso is hitting just .214 against lefties this season, so he will be held out of the lineup Tuesday with southpaw Rich Hill on the bump for the Dodgers. Cristhian Adames will get the start at shortstop in Descalso's place.

Descalso is out of the lineup Sunday against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Descalso has been seeing regular starts at shortstop in the absence of Trevor Story (thumb), but he'll give way to Christhian Adames for the Sunday afternoon contest. It will be well-deserved, as he launched a two run homer in Saturday's contest, his third long ball of the year.

Descalso is out of the lineup Sunday against the Marlins, Jenny Cavnar of ROOT SPORTS Rocky Mountain Region reports.
EDGE Analysis
Descalso has taken the reins of the starting shortstop gig since Trevor Story (thumb) was ruled out for the rest of the season, going 7-for-19 with five RBI and two runs over the last six games. He'll give way to Cristhian Adames on Sunday in what amounts to a day off.

Descalso (shoulder) is in the lineup Friday, batting seventh and starting at shortstop.
EDGE Analysis
Less than 24 hours after suffering a left shoulder contusion, Descalso will draw back into the Rockies' lineup for Friday's series opener against the Marlins. His health is of the utmost importance for the Rockies after Trevor Story was diagnosed with a torn thumb ligament that will likely sideline him for the remainder of the season. Descalso's return to the lineup will bump Rafel Ynoa and Cristhian Adames back to the bench.

Descalso was diagnosed with a left shoulder contusion Thursday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The newly minted starting shortstop for the Rockies exited Thursday's contest after running into a wall on an attempt to catch a pop fly. It appears that he may had dodged a serious injury after being examined by the team's medical staff, but this is an injury that could sideline him for a few days. Now that Trevor Story (thumb) is likely done for the season, Cristhian Adames or Rafael Ynoa are the only shortstop options on the active roster should Descalso miss additional time beyond Thursday.

Descalso left the game early with a left shoulder injury on Thursday after running into a wall trying to catch a fly ball, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is bad timing for the Rockies, who just lost their starting shortstop Trevor Story for the season with a thumb injury earlier this week. Descalso was replaced by Rafael Ynoa on Thursday. An update on the injury will be announced later Thursday night or Friday.

Descalso is out of the lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Dodgers, Jenny Cavnar of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Descalso will get the night off after starting the last three games as Cristhian Adames fills in for him at shortstop and bats seventh. Descalso has turned in a great season after missing the first month and a half with a hand injury and is posting a career best BA, OBP, and SLG.
