After missing the entire series against the San Francisco Giants and the series opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Colorado Rockies officially placed Hunter Goodman on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder strain, retroactive to August 15.
Goodman, 26, played the entire series in Arizona last week, catching the first two games before serving as the designated hitter in the third game. During the series, he went 1-for-9, with the lone hit being a triple. He was initially in the lineup in three of the last four games but was scratched hours before first pitch each time.
The two-time All-Star catcher has had a prolific year at the plate as a key run-producer in the Rockies lineup. Entering play on Monday, Goodman is batting .251/.320/.541 with 34 home runs and 69 RBI. In his absence, the Rockies have utilized Brett Sullivan, who has batted .316 (6-for-19) with three home runs and eight RBIs during the last road trip.
In a corresponding move, the Rockies have recalled Braxton Fulford from Triple-A Albuquerque. Fulford carries a .177/.254/.290 slash with one home run and seven RBI on the season in 40 games with the Rockies. During his time with Albuquerque, Fulford is batting .270/.399/.484 with five home runs and 21 RBI in 35 games. His numbers have been excellent during his time in the Pacific Coast League, but the hit tool and plate discipline haven't quite translated in his limited big league action.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Colorado Rockies All-Star Hunter Goodman was scratched from the lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night.
Goodman was originally set to be the designated hitter. But he was removed because of a left hand contusion. He had X-rays, which were negative. He's listed as day-to-day.
Goodman got hurt Monday night in an 8-7, 11-inning loss in the series opener. He slid into home plate with what was the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth. But the safe call was overturned on a replay challenge by the Dodgers. Goodman says he jammed his wrist on the play.
Mickey Moniak replaced Goodman as DH, while Braxton Fulford started at catcher, Goodman's usual position.
Goodman has earned his second straight All-Star selection, hitting 27 home runs this season.
