Karros is back at third base and hitting sixth after being scratched from Sunday’s lineup with back spasms. The 24-year-old corner infielder is hitting .258 with 12 homers and five steals in 125 games this season.

He was replaced by TJ Rumfield who had been slated to get a day off on Sunday. Karros is considered day-to-day and should return to action early next week.

Karros had started each of the first five games since returning from the concussion injured list, so they’ll give him a breather in this one. Vimael Machin will start in his place at the hot corner and will bat seventh against Tigers’ right-hander Jackson Jobe.

Karros got the Rockies on the board in the second inning of this one, crushing a 3-1 fastball from Max Fried for a 431-foot (109.1-mph EV) solo shot. He struck out in each of his other three plate appearances in the contest, finishing the night 1-for-4. On the season, the 24-year-old is now slashing .261/.355/.426 with 11 homers and 45 RBI.

Karros was placed on the concussion injured list on August 23, so he missed over two weeks of games. Connor Norby will shift back to second base, which means that Adael Amador may struggle to get into the lineup unless the Rockies are willing to start him over Ezequiel Tovar.

Karros had just returned from the concussion injured list on Friday, but he’s apparently still feeling the after-effects and will need to make his way through the concussion protocol once again before returning. Ryan Ritter was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move on Sunday.

Karros missed a bit more than a week’s worth of action after suffering a concussion in a collision with teammate Ezequiel Tovar. He’s back in the lineup at third base and batting second for the Rockies against Guardians’ southpaw Joey Cantillo on Friday evening at Coors Field.

Karros was forced to exit Tuesday’s game after he collided with Ezequiel Tovar, and unfortunately, the 24-year-old will need to miss time while going through the concussion protocol. Adael Amador is up to take Karros’ place on the roster, and likely in the lineup.

After five scoreless innings, Karros put the Rockies on the board with a two-run blast off Mitch Bratt in the sixth. Karros would exit the game in the bottom of the sixth after colliding with shortstop Ezequiel Tover on a play in the field. There should be an update on his status sometime Wednesday.

Karros found himself back at the hot corner and hitting fifth following a two-game absence due to biceps inflammation. He shouldn’t miss any additional time.

Karros had missed each of the team’s previous two games due to inflammation in his left biceps. He’s right back in there at the hot corner and will bat fifth for the Rockies against Royals’ right-hander Michael Wacha on Friday evening at Coors Field.

It’ll be Willi Castro taking another turn at the hot corner with Karros grabbing a seat for the second consecutive contest after being scratched from Tuesday’s lineup with left biceps inflammation. The fact that he hasn’t required a trip to the injured list is an encouraging sign. He’s presumably day-to-day heading into Friday’s series opener against the Royals.

Karros is day-to-day for now. It’ll be veteran utility specialist Willi Castro taking over at the hot corner in his absence. There should be an update on his status after the contest, but it doesn’t sound like a significant concern at the moment.

Karros doubled and scored in the first inning, then added an RBI single in the third inning that drove in Jake McCarthy from third base. Karros breaks out of a minifunk here as he’d not cleared multiple hits in a game since the All-Star Break, but he’s still been a nice find for the Rockies — he’s hitting .263/.363/.431 in 297 at-bats, and has earned more or less full-time work despite finishing May with a .215/.316/.319 batting line.

Karros cut into the Giants’ lead with a solo homer off JT Brubaker in the eighth inning, a 435-foot blast to left field. It was his ninth of the season while hitting .266/.364/.445 with 47 runs scored and 34 RBI across 319 plate appearances.

Karros fisted a little liner past a drawn-in infield for his big hit, giving the Rockies a 3-2 lead in the ninth. They added one more afterwards, which proved important after the Giants scored one of their own in the bottom of the ninth. It’s Karros’s third three-hit game as a major leaguer but definitely the most important of the three; the others came in a 23-9 win over the A’s on June 14 and in a 15-3 win over these same Giants just a week ago.

With his dad awkwardly weighing in from the Dodgers broadcast booth, Karros went 3-for-11 with eight total bases and three walks the last three days. He’s escaped the bottom third of the Rockies order in recent days, and his OPS cracked .800 tonight for the first time all season. He’s still probably not going to offer much value in shallow leagues in the second half, but his stock as a potential long-term third baseman for the Rockies has increased with his performance to date.

Karros turned a 6-4 deficit into a 7-6 lead with a three-run homer off Drew Smith, and it was clobbered an estimated 457 feet. The 23-year-old has been a relative brightspot for the Rockies, and after slashing an excellent .357/.444/.586 in June, he’s off to a nice start to the month of July.

Karros started 47 of the Rockies’ first 56 games, but he is hitting just .204/.306/.287 with two homers and 14 RBI in 183 plate appearances. The Rockies could consider sending him down for a spell and giving more time to Willi Castro and Chad Stevens at third after one of their injured outfielders comes off the IL.

Karros absolutely clobbered a 438-foot blast off Roki Sasaki to make it a 3-2 game. The 23-year-old also singled and came around to score a run. The two-reach game with the homer puts his slash at .211/.352/.281, but he’s passed the eye test a few times in the young campaign.
