Brett Sullivan went 1-for-3 with a two-run double on Sunday in the Rockies' 7-2 loss to the Padres.
Fantasy Impact: Sullivan hit his two-run double in the top of the fifth off of Padres' reliever, Kyle Hart, to plate Colorado's only two runs of the day. The Rockies' catcher had Colorado's only extra-base hit and one of its two hits all afternoon. Sullivan has appeared in 10 games for the Rockies and is hitting .280 (7-for-25) with four runs batted in. Hunter Goodman normally serves as the Rockies' catcher, but he was the designated hitter on Sunday. Sullivan remains off the fantasy radar, but could earn himself more at bats if he keeps swinging a decent bat.

Jimmy Herget was saddled with the loss on Sunday as he allowed one run in the bottom of the first inning in Colorado's 7-2 loss in San Diego.
Fantasy Impact: Herget dropped to 0-1 on the year as he served as the Rockies' emergency opener on Sunday. Kyle Freeland (shoulder) was a late scratch due to left shoulder soreness, so Herget warmed up quickly and took on the Padres' lineup in the bottom of the first. The righthander hit Ramon Laureano then allowed a single to Fernando Tatis, Jr. before Jackson Merrill bunted both runners over. Manny Machado plated the lone run of the inning with a sacrifice fly. A walk and a fly out ended the 24-pitch inning. Herget, who also served as the opener on Thursday, has a 2.00 ERA in nine innings, allowing two runs on six hits with one walk and six strikeouts.
