LOS ANGELES (AP) — Colorado Rockies All-Star Hunter Goodman was scratched from the lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night.
>Goodman was originally set to be the designated hitter. But he was removed because of a left hand contusion. He had X-rays, which were negative. He's listed as day-to-day.
>Goodman got hurt Monday night in an 8-7, 11-inning loss in the series opener. He slid into home plate with what was the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth. But the safe call was overturned on a replay challenge by the Dodgers. Goodman says he jammed his wrist on the play.
>Mickey Moniak replaced Goodman as DH, while Braxton Fulford started at catcher, Goodman's usual position.
>Goodman has earned his second straight All-Star selection, hitting 27 home runs this season.
