Paul Phillips continues living the dream, though his starting days will likely end when catcher Chris Iannetta is activated today. Phillips went 6-for-13 in the St. Louis series. Yorvit Torrealba is eyeing Wednesday as his return date. But the Rockies have an agreement with the players association to allow Torrealba a five-day window on a rehab assignment to get some at-bats. He hasn’t played in a week since the abduction and return of his son in Venezuela.

Dexter Fowler, evolving as a leadoff hitter, walked twice Monday. He leads the Rockies with 28 walks, inflating his on-base percentage to .356.
Red-hot.
Clint Barmes is 21-for-48 with 10 RBIs since Jim Tracy took over as manager.
