| News: Helton is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays. | Impact: The Rockies have an extra hitter spot available playing in Toronto, but Helton has played sparingly against left-handers this season, and that will not change Wednesday with southpaw Mark Buehrle on the mound for the Blue Jays. Jordan Pacheco will get the start at first base in Helton's place.(RotoWire, ) |
