DENVER • The Rockies placed shortstop Clint Barmes and right fielder Brad Hawpe on the 15-day disabled list on Saturday and recalled outfielder Seth Smith and infielder Ian Stewart from Triple-A Colorado Springs.
Smith was inserted into the lineup in right field Saturday. Stewart played third in place of Garrett Atkins, who was a late scratch with a stiff neck.
Things didn't get any better during the loss. Left fielder Matt Holliday suffered a slight strain of his left hamstring while running out a grounder in the ninth. The Rockies said he is day-to-day and will be evaluated today.
Center fielder Willy Taveras also is day-to-day and sat out with a bruised right knee.
