With Gonzalez out of the rotation, the Colorado Rockies are down to only four starters in the rotation. Fortunately, the schedule leaves them some time to make a decision on their fifth man. Having the day off on Monday and another on the Fourth of July, followed by a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks before the All-Star break, the Rockies will play five games in an 11-day span.
The lack of games will allow Bud Black almost two full weeks to make a decision when the San Francisco Giants come to town on July 15.
