The Rockies will decide Wednesday whether to activate Eric Young, Jr. from the bereavement list.
Young was placed on the bereavement list earlier this month after his grandfather passed away. He has spent the past few days in Arizona working on his conditioning. The speedy 26-year-old is hitting .286 (6-for-21) with four stolen bases and an .829 OPS in 21 games this season.

Marco Scutaro came off the bench to homer in the top of the ninth and lead the Rockies to a 5-4 win over the Giants on Tuesday.
It was Scutaro’s first homer with the Rockies and the second given up by Giants closer Santiago Casilla this season. Scutaro will surely be back at second base for Colorado on Wednesday.

Jeremy Guthrie held the Giants to an unearned run over 5 1/3 innings Tuesday in his return from the disabled list.
Guthrie walked four and hit a batter, so he wasn’t particularly sharp. The Giants couldn’t make him pay, though. Unfortunately, they did get to Josh Outman afterwards, so Guthrie didn’t get a win. Still, it was a positive first start back.

Dexter Fowler (eye) is expected to return to the lineup Wednesday.
Fowler hasn’t started the last two games since being hit on the side of the head with a ball, which caused blurred vision. He appeared in Monday’s game as a pinch-hitter and should be available off the bench again Tuesday.

Jason Giambi has been nursing a sore foot recently.
Giambi hasn’t started a game since May 9, but he usually only starts about once per week, anyway. He was able to pinch-hit Monday, drawing a walk. He should continue to be available off the bench.

Rockies optioned RHP Carlos Torres to Triple-A Colorado Springs.
He gave up just one run over four innings in his three appearances, but the Rockies needed to clear a roster spot for Jeremy Guthrie, and Torres is the one to go. He should get another shot later on.

Rockies activated RHP Jeremy Guthrie from the 15-day disabled list.
Guthrie gets the start Tuesday against the Giants. The 33-year-old right-hander had a 5.92 ERA over four starts prior to injuring his right shoulder in a bicycle accident two weeks ago.

Troy Tulowitzki (leg) is back in the Rockies’ lineup Tuesday.
Tulo was in a ton of pain after being hit by a line drive while waiting for his turn to bat late in Monday’s game, but X-rays came back negative and he’s back in there Tuesday. The Rockies are squaring off against the Giants’ Tim Lincecum.

Troy Tulowitzki (leg) will test out his leg in batting practice to see if he can play in Tuesday’s game.
We figured the Rockies would definitely sit him out at least a day after how much pain Tulo appeared to be in Monday, but it sounds like he could give it a go. Stay tuned.
