Warming Bernabel Taking Another Day Off
Colorado Rockies rookie infielder Warming Bernabel (face) is out of the starting lineup again for Friday's series opener against the hosting Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park. Orlando Arcia will make the start at first base and will hit eighth against Pirates right-hander Braxton Ashcraft. Bernabel was scratched from Thursday's series finale at Coors Field against the Los Angeles Dodgers as a precaution after he was hit in the face by a throw during pre-game infield drills. It's not believed that the 23-year-old is dealing with any structural damage to his face, so we'd expect him to return to the starting nine before the end of the weekend series in the Steel City. The Dominican has impressed in his first taste of big-league pitching through 24 games and should continue to see regular playing time at first for Colorado to close out the year. Bernabel has hit .311/.340/.544 with four homers and 13 RBI in a small sample size.
