The Rockies have posted their opening-day lineup for today’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The two big questions that were answered: Jose Lopez is starting at second base, in front of Jonathan Herrera; Ty Wigginton starts at third base ahead of Ian Stewart, who’s coming off a hamstring strain.
Here is the lineup and batting order:
1. Dexter Fowler, CF
2. Seth Smith, RF
3. Carlos Gonzales, LF
4. Troy Tulowitzki, SS
5. Todd Helton, 1B
6. Ty Wigginton, 3B
7. Jose Lopez, 2B’
8. Chris Iannetta, C
9. Ubaldo Jimenez, P
The Diamondbacks are keeping shortstop Stephen Drew out of their starting lineup. He’s been dealing with a strained abdominal muscle.
Willie Bloomquist will start in place of Drew, who will be available for pinch hitting duties.
