Thomas Harding was told by a club official after Monday's game that Marco Scutaro (head) is "fine." Scutaro left Monday's game after he was hit in the helmet by a 95 mph fastball by Stephen Strasburg. Fortunately, it appears he managed to avoid a concussion. Consider him day-to-day for now.

Marco Scutaro left Monday's game in the bottom of the sixth inning after being hit in the helmet by a Stephen Strasburg fastball. Scary moment. Scutaro was on the ground for a moment before getting to his feet and leaving the field under his own power. He'll likely be tested for a possible concussion. Chris Nelson entered the game to replace him at second base.

Marco Scutaro went 2-for-5 with his second home run in Thursday's 11-5 win over Houston. With Troy Tulowitzki sidelined, Scutaro slid over to shortstop for only the fifth time this year. In his last three games, the veteran is 5-for-14 (.357) with four runs scored, five RBI, and two steals.

Marco Scutaro came off the bench to homer in the top of the ninth and lead the Rockies to a 5-4 win over the Giants on Tuesday. It was Scutaro's first homer with the Rockies and the second given up by Giants closer Santiago Casilla this season. Scutaro will surely be back at second base for Colorado on Wednesday.

Marco Scutaro is not in the Rockies' lineup Wednesday afternoon against the Dodgers. We haven't heard anything about an injury, so he's likely just getting the day off. Jonathan Herrera will start in his place at second base and bat leadoff against left-hander Clayton Kershaw.

Since batting a miserable .130 on March 19, Marco Scutaro has hit 4-for-14 (.286) with 10 walks. The Rockies' new shortstop now leads the majors this spring with 15 bases on balls. As long as he finds ways to set the table this season, Colorado's big hitters should be able to get him home.

Marco Scutaro went 0-for-3 in Monday's win, dropping his Cactus League average to .130 through 23 at-bats. It's tempting to read into, but Scutaro has often struggled through tough springs before getting it together in April. He remains an intriguing fantasy option in the thin air of Denver.

Marco Scutaro went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in his Rockies' exhibition debut on Monday. This will be Scutaro's first spring in the Cactus League since 2007, when he was a member of the A's. He will spend his age-36 campaign as the Rockies' starting second baseman.

Rockies acquired INF Marco Scutaro from the Red Sox for RHP Clayton Mortensen. A no-brainer move for the Rox. Scutaro is owed a salary of $6 million in 2012 and is set to hit the free agent market next fall, but the trade will be well worth it if he comes close to putting up the kind of numbers he's registered in recent seasons with Boston. The 36-year-old batted .299/.358/.423 with seven home runs and 54 RBI in 445 plate appearances last year. He'll start at second base in 2012 for Colorado.

Jim Bowden of ESPN and MLB Network Radio confirms that the Rockies have acquired infielder Marco Scutaro from the Red Sox for right-hander Clayton Mortensen. Mortensen has a poor 5.12 career ERA in the big leagues and turns 27 years old in April. But this trade wasn't really about adding talent for Boston; it was about getting rid of Sctuaro's $6 million salary for 2012 and directing some of that cash into the acquisition of a starter, either through free agency or a trade. Scutaro, 36, will start at second base this year in Colorado. He batted .299/.358/.423 in 445 plate appearances last season. Mike Aviles and Nick Punto will platoon at shortstop for the Red Sox until prospect Jose Iglesias is ready.
