Rockies Place Gonzalez On 15-Day DL, Continue Road Trip in San Diego

The Colorado Rockies have placed outfielder Carlos Gonzalez on the 15-day disabled list with left knee tendinitis and a sprained right ankle.

Gonzalez left Friday's game at Arizona after going 0 for 3 with three strikeouts. It is his second trip to the DL this season after inflammation in his left index finger sidelined the slugger for five weeks.

Gonzalez is batting .238 with 11 homers and 38 RBIs in only 70 games this season.

The Rockies recalled outfielder-first baseman Ben Paulsen from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Sunday to replace Gonzalez on the roster.

Right-hander Jordan Lyles makes his second start since returning from two months on the disabled list with a broken left hand.

He's 6-1 in 13 starts and faces the San Diego Padres on the road on Monday.

Lyles has allowed nine runs in 8 1-3 innings over two starts against the Padres this season.
