Off the DL, Dickerson bats sixth for Rockies

MIAMI -- When Corey Dickerson steps onto the field Thursday night against the Marlins, it will feel a bit like Opening Day.

"I think I'll be kind of excited for the first couple at-bats to get back into it, but after that first game, it's back to normal," Dickerson said. "It's like you played every day."

Colorado reinstated Dickerson, on the 15-day disabled list with plantar fasciitis, for Thursday's series opener at Marlins Park. He started in left field and batted sixth. The Rockies optioned Kyle Parker to Triple-A Albuquerque as the corresponding roster move.
