Doyle went 1-for-4 with an RBI on Monday against the Red Sox.
Doyle returned to the starting lineup for the first time since Thursday and hit seventh -- matching his lowest position of the season. He began the scoring for the Rockies with an RBI single in the second inning and his first at-bat. The Rockies haven't made their plans clear, but Doyle will presumably return to a regular starting role after getting some time to reset while amid a slump.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Remaining on bench Sunday
Rotowire
Doyle is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Though Doyle delivered a pinch-hit solo home run in Saturday's 10-3 loss, Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer will stick to his plan of keeping the outfielder out of the lineup for all three games of the weekend series. Schaeffer is hoping that the time off will provide a needed reset for Doyle, who had slashed .175/.204/.272 with a 25 percent strikeout rate dating back to the start of June before he slugged the solo home run Saturday. Mickey Moniak will patrol center field Sunday, but Doyle -- a two-time Gold Glove Award winner -- should settle back into an everyday role within the next few days.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Homers off bench
Rotowire
Doyle hit a solo home run in his only at-bat Saturday against the White Sox.
Doyle is being held out of the Rockies' lineup for their weekend series against the White Sox due to his struggles since the start of June. However, he entered the game as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning and blasted his seventh home run of the season and second since May 27. Colorado's plans for Doyle following Sunday's games are unclear, but Saturday's showing was certainly a positive sign.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: On bench for weekend series
Rotowire
Interim manager Warren Schaeffer said Friday that he plans to not start Doyle for the duration of Colorado's series against the White Sox, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Schaeffer cited Doyle's recent struggles at the plate as the reason for his benching, as the 27-year-old outfielder has slashed just .175/.204/.272 since the beginning of June. While Doyle uses the weekend to regroup, Yanquiel Fernandez is a likely candidate to benefit from additional playing time.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Snaps long homer drought
Rotowire
Doyle went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Cubs.
It was notably Doyle's first home run of the month, as he snapped a 24-game homerless skid. The outfielder has struggled at the dish to the tune of a .206 batting average, five RBI, five runs scored and two stolen bases over his last 18 outings. Doyle's fantasy upside should also remain limited by Colorado's poor lineup, but he should see a boost in appeal when he gets to work from hitter-friendly Coors Field. He has a .769 OPS at home versus a .458 OPS on the road this year.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Tallies fourth steal
Rotowire
Doyle went 1-for-7 with a walk and a stolen base across both games of Thursday's doubleheader against the Tigers.
Doyle has had a bumpy start to the season, as he's battled inconsistency at the plate and also been on and off the field for both personal reasons and a quadriceps injury. He's been in the lineup consistently since April 26, though he's now gone just 6-for-49 with three RBI and three runs scored across 12 games in that span. Doyle did manage his fourth steal of the season Thursday and has yet to be caught.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: On base four times across twin bill
Rotowire
Doyle went 1-for-6 with three walks, a run scored and a stolen base across both games of a doubleheader Thursday against the Royals.
Doyle was making his first starts in two weeks due to a combination of a quadriceps injury and a personal matter and hit leadoff in both contests, which came against both a lefty (Cole Ragans) and a righty (Michael Lorenzen) starter for Kansas City. While he managed only one hit, it was a positive return for Doyle, who surprisingly had attempted only one stolen base across his first 13 games of the season entering Thursday.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Placed on bereavement list
Rotowire
The Rockies placed Doyle (personal) on the bereavement list Thursday.

He's also been dealing with a quad injury recently that's kept him out of the starting lineup for the previous six contests, although he did appear as a pinch hitter in Wednesday's loss to the Dodgers. Doyle will likely be back in the Rockies' lineup Tuesday in Kansas City, assuming he's recovered from the quad issue by then.
