Fuentes (wrist) went 1-for-2 with a double, one run and one RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Fuentes was scratched from Sunday's lineup due to left wrist soreness and didn't start in the series opener against Arizona on Tuesday. However, he pinch hit in the 10th inning and knocked in the game-tying run. Fuentes didn't appear to be bothered by his wrist injury while hitting and playing the field Tuesday, and he should be available going forward.

The Rockies scratched Fuentes from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers due to left wrist soreness, Jenny Cavnar of AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ryan McMahon will pick up the start at third base for Fuentes, who is considered day-to-day. Fuentes started each of the first three games of the series, going 2-for-13 with a home run and three RBI.

Fuentes went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's loss against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Fuentes went deep in the top of the seventh inning of Blake Treinen to make it a 4-4 game, but the Dodgers stepped the foot on the gas and ended winning the game. Fuentes recorded just one hit through nine at-bats over his first two appearances, but this game might be the confidence booster he needs to shake off his slow start.

Fuentes went 4-for-4 with a double and one RBI in Sunday's spring loss to the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Fuentes smacked a double in the bottom of the first inning and drove in a run with a single in the bottom of the third. The 28-year-old has now hit .333 with one home run, 11 RBI and eight runs this spring. Although C.J. Cron will serve as the primary first baseman for the Rockies this year, Fuentes could see an uptick in playing time at third base over the first few weeks of the season while Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) is unavailable.

Fuentes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and one double in Sunday's spring loss to the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Fuentes was a bright spot in the Rockies' lineup Sunday, and he put the team on the board with a solo blast in the eighth inning. The 28-year-old is now hitting .275 with one home run, seven runs, five RBI, one walk and eight strikeouts over 15 Cactus League games this spring. While C.J. Cron figures to see the bulk of the playing time at first base this year, Fuentes could carve out at-bats at third base early in the season if Ryan McMahon shifts to second base while Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) is sidelined.

Fuentes went 1-for-3 with a double, two RBI and two strikeouts in Saturday's spring win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Although Fuentes struck out twice Saturday, he blasted a two-run double in the top of the fourth inning and scored later in the frame. Over his first five games this spring, the 28-year-old has gone 4-for-10 with two doubles, four runs, three RBI and three strikeouts. He's currently in a battle for playing time at first base, but his defensive versatility means that he could play third base or left field if needed, even if C.J. Cron, Greg Bird or Connor Joe win the job at first base, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Fuentes went 1-for-1 with a double, two runs and one RBI in Wednesday's 10-7 spring win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
C.J. Cron started at first base in Wednesday's Cactus League matchup, but Fuentes entered the game as a defensive replacement in the top of the fifth inning. He doubled during his first at-bat before being hit by a pitch in the sixth inning during the comeback win. He's now gone 3-for-5 with three runs, one RBI and one strikeout over his first three spring games. He also made several impressive plays at first base Wednesday, while Cron committed a fielding error in the second inning that led to a run scoring. Fuentes will have to battle for playing time to begin the season after the Rockies brought Cron and Greg Bird in as non-roster invitees during the offseason, and he could be sent down if he struggles since he still has two options remaining. However, the 28-year-old has embraced the competition so far and has played well to begin spring training.

EDGE Analysis
Fuentes opened the scoring with a two-run single off Tony Gonsolin in the fourth before adding another RBI knock off Blake Treinen in the sixth. The 27-year-old has 13 RBI to go along with a strong .348/.357/.515 slash line on the campaign. He figures to continue getting everyday at-bats at first base during the final week of the regular season.

EDGE Analysis
Fuentes was the most productive Rockies batter Friday. The first baseman knocked a three-run homer in the second inning to cut the Dodgers' lead to 4-3 at the time. In the sixth, Fuentes got aboard with a single and scored on a David Dahl triple. The 27-year-old Fuentes now has two homers, 10 RBI, nine runs scored and a stolen base in 20 games. He's slashing .339/.349/.525 across 63 plate appearances.

Fuentes will start at first base and will bat sixth Wednesday against the Athletics, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
In the lineup for the sixth game in a row and with four of those starts coming against right-handed pitchers, Fuentes appears to have supplanted Daniel Murphy as the Rockies' everyday first baseman. Fuentes earned the top job through his hot start to September, as the 27-year-old is slashing .393/.406/.607 on the month.
