Colorado’s star infielder Nolan Arenado has been put on the IL in advance of the four-game series that starts in about 45 minutes. Justin Smoak has been DFA’d to make room for Alex Dickerson, who is back from paternity leave and leading off. And for some reason Joey Bart is catching Jhonny Cueto.

Tromp caught and starred last night at the plate, maybe he needs rest. But the Cueto/Tromp combination has been a rich, loose and special one all season long. They communicate in their own language and are very much in sync.

Behind Jhonny Cueto, Kapler instead is going with this lineup:

Alex Dickerson, LF

Brandon Belt, 1B

Donovan Solano, 2B

Darin Ruf, DH

Brandon Crawford, SS

Evan Longoria, 3B

Mauricio Dubon, CF

Joey Bart, C

Luis Alexander Basabe, RF
