Fuentes is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
The righty-hitting Fuentes will be on the bench for the third time in four games, even though a lefty (Tyler Anderson) is on the hill for the Pirates. Fuentes looks like he'll remain in a backup role moving forward with C.J. Cron and Ryan McMahon entrenched as the Rockies' regulars at the corner-infield spots.

Fuentes went 1-for-1 with a two-run homer in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Fuentes had started each of the team's two games in Seattle with Ryan McMahon dealing with a forearm injury, but he came off the bench in Friday's series opener since McMahon returned to the lineup. Although the 28-year-old went 0-for-7 with four strikeouts across his last two appearances, he blasted his seventh home run of the season in the seventh inning Friday.

Fuentes is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against San Diego.
EDGE Analysis
Following Trevor Story's return from the injured list last week, Fuentes has returned to serving primarily as a reserve player for the time being. He should continue to get some starts both at third base and in the outfield against left-handers, however.

Fuentes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Fuentes will head to the bench for the second time in the series, and he could indirectly find himself as the odd man out for a regular role following Trevor Story's (elbow) recent return from the injured list. With Story back at shortstop, Brendan Rodgers has picked up more work of late at the keystone, which has forced Ryan McMahon over to Fuentes' regular spot at third base. Fuentes hasn't helped his case for maintaining everyday playing time by going 3-for-21 over his last seven games.

Fuentes went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Fuentes hit the game's only home run off Taylor Hearn in the eighth inning Wednesday and scored half of the Rockies' runs. The 28-year-old was hitless in his last seven games in May before tallying four hits in the first two contests in June. He is slashing .255/.293/.427 with five homers, 26 RBI and 22 runs in 167 plate appearances. The third baseman gets the start most days, but the return of Brendan Rodgers could give Fuentes more bench time.

Fuentes is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Ryan McMahon will man the hot corner and bat fifth for Colorado. Fuentes went 0-for-3 with a walk on Monday, but he's still put together a .419 batting average with a pair of homers, eight doubles and 15 RBI over his last 11 games.

Fuentes is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Arizona, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brendan Rodgers returned from a hamstring injury Friday and will immediately join the starting lineup. He'll start at second base, pushing Ryan McMahon to third and and Fuentes to the bench. Whether or not that will be the team's default configuration going forward may take some time to figure out.
