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.

Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Slated for leadoff spot
Rotowire
Rockies manager Bud Black said Wednesday that he plans to bat Doyle leadoff next season, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.
The Rockies' primary leadoff hitter in 2024, Charlie Blackmon, is now retired, and it appears Black will put Doyle at the top of the batting order in 2025 rather than Ezequiel Tovar, who made the second-most starts at leadoff last season. Doyle doesn't have strong on-base skills with a career .289 OBP (.317 in 2024), but settling in as the Rockies' leadoff hitter will nonetheless boost his runs scored outlook. Tovar seems likely to be used in the two hole.

Rotowire
Doyle (leg) could need another day or two off after being scratched from Monday's lineup against the Marlins, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.
Doyle's injury doesn't appear to be overly serious, but the club seems content to hold him out a day or two longer to ensure he's at 100 percent before taking the field. Sam Hilliard, who drew the start in center field Monday and Jordan Beck are the likely candidates for playing time until Doyle is cleared to return.
