Rockies recalled INF Josh Rutledge from Triple-A Colorado Springs.
He'll provide extra depth in the Rockies infield with Nolan Arenado on the disabled list. In his earlier stints with the Rockies this season, he hit .318/.375/.500 with a homer and four RBI in 22 at-bats. He's worth a look in mixed leagues if he looks to receive everyday at-bats while Arenado is sidelined.

Josh Rutledge hit a three-run homer in the Rockies' 6-1 win over the Dodgers on Sunday.
The home run was Rutledge's first of the season. The second baseman got off to a terrible start last year before being demoted. This season, Rutledge is batting .318/.375/.500 in 22 at-bats since being recalled on April 9. His hot bat may earn him more playing time going forward.

Josh Rutledge went 1-for-3 and scored a run as the Rockies and White Sox played to a 5-5 draw in Cactus League action on Sunday.
Rutledge, who is still battling to be the team's starting second baseman, is hitting an impressive .303/.343/.515 on the spring season. Unfortunately for him, his main competition, D.J. LeMahieu, is slashing an equally impressive .316/.381/.395. From a fantasy perspective, Rutledge winning out would be much more appealing.

Josh Rutledge (ankle) went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Wednesday's Cactus League game.
Rutledge wound up missing five days with a left ankle sprain. "It's pretty much 100 percent now," the infielder said Wednesday. "I still tape it for feel for now, but I'll probably stop doing that soon." He is likely to lose the second base competition to D.J. LeMahieu, but Rutledge should still have a spot on the Rockies' Opening Day roster as a utility middle infielder.

Josh Rutledge (ankle) expects to be cleared for Cactus League action later this week.
Rutledge rolled his left ankle last Friday while doing drills around the second base bag. "That first night it didn't really swell up, but it hurt. It's getting better. I was able to do some light shagging of flyballs," he said Tuesday in camp. "It should be ready in a few more days." Rutledge is competing with D.J. LeMahieu for the starting second base job and with Charlie Culberson and Paul Janish for bench spots.
