Miguel Olivo went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts Thursday in the loss to the Mets.

Chris Iannetta is also off to a slow start this month, but he's been a lot more productive over the last month and a half than Olivo, who is hitting .161/.203/.304 in 56 at-bats since the All-Star break. The Rockies will probably continue to give Iannetta a lot of playing time against righties.

Miguel Olivo returned to action on Thursday July 1.

Miguel Olivo is out of the starting lineup against the Padres on Wednesday.

Olivo is dealing with some pain in the left side of his lower back, but says he feels fine. Chris Iannetta will start in his place.

Miguel Olivo went 3-for-5 with a homer, a double and four RBI against the Padres on Monday.

Olivo was ice cold for a few weeks, but he's hit three homers in his last six games, putting him up to 11 for the season. Chris Iannetta is also playing well, but Olivo will continue to get the majority of the starts for now.

Miguel Olivo is back in the starting lineup against the Braves on Friday night.

Olivo missed Wednesday's game with a broken fingernail.

Miguel Olivo is out until Friday with a broken fingernail.

Chris Iannetta will fill in until then.

Miguel Olivo left Tuesday's game against the Nationals after he faceplanted on a head-first slide into second base in the top of the seventh inning.

The good news is that he successfully stole second base. The bad news is that he'll be on blooper reels for the rest of eternity. Olivo suffered a bloody nose on the botched slide and was removed from the game as a precaution. He'll surely slide feet-first next time.

Miguel Olivo launched a walkoff solo home run in the bottom of the 10th inning Wednesday to lift the Rockies over the Phillies 4-3.

What a day for Olivo. He finished 5-for-5, upping his batting average from .228 to .274, and improving his season-long RBI count to 14. Finally, he's starting to take advantage of Chris Iannetta's absence.

Miguel Olivo went 0-for-4 in Monday's loss, lowering his average to .228.

Olivo is 2-for-28 with no RBI in his last eight games, with Colorado having gone 2-6 in those contests. How much more do the Rockies need to see before they give Chris Iannetta another chance?

Miguel Olivo passed two kidney stones on Monday.

Tough guy. Olivo still played on Monday and Tuesday and is in the lineup again on Wednesday. With Chris Iannetta banished to the minor leagues, Olivo is worth a grab in mixed formats.

Miguel Olivo is in Monday's starting lineup against the Diamondbacks.

Rockies manager Jim Tracy has said he will play the hot hand behind the dish and Olivo certainly qualifies, homering in each of his last three games. He is batting .317 with five homers and 10 RBI to begin the year while Chris Iannetta is batting just .133 with two homers over 30 at-bats. They should be avoided in most mixed leagues.

Miguel Olivo belted a solo and stole a base in the Rockies' 4-2 win over the Padres on Sunday.

Chris Iannetta owners can't be happy. Olivo has two homers and a .455 average in his three starts, so manager Jim Tracy isn't going to end the job-share any time soon. NL-only leaguers will certainly want to play both players, but those in all but the deepest of mixed leagues shouldn't dive in until a clear victor has been determined.

Miguel Olivo will start behind the plate for the home opener against the Padres on Friday.

As expected. Olivo also started Wednesday afternoon's game versus the Brewers. Rockies manager Jim Tracy has said that he will try to give Olivo and Chris Iannetta equal playing time, at least initially, and he's certainly sticking to that.

Miguel Olivo will get his first start of the season against the Brewers on Wednesday.

It's no surprise to see him in the lineup over Chris Iannetta with a day game after a night game. Iannetta is the superior catcher, but Olivo should still net plenty of playing time this season. Clint Barmes will also receive a day off on Wednesday, with Melvin Mora drawing a start at second base.
