Shut down due to concussion
The Rockies placed Karros on the 7-day injured list Wednesday due to a concussion.
Analysis
Karros hit a game-tying two-run home run in the top of the sixth inning of Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks, and then left the game in the bottom half of the frame after colliding in the field with teammate Ezequiel Tovar while both were pursuing a grounder. Per David Brandt of the Associated Press, Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer said after the game that Karros entered concussion protocol. With that, Karros will be held out of action for the next week, which likely clears the way for Willi Castro to serve as the Rockies' primary third baseman in the interim.

Reaches 10-homer mark
Karros went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.
Analysis
Karros had gone 1-for-12 with a walk and two strikeouts over his previous four games. His homer Tuesday ended a 19-game stretch without a long ball. The third baseman hasn't been able to tap into much consistent power this year with just 10 homers over 112 contests. He's slashing .265/.361/.424 with 44 RBI, 58 runs scored, 20 doubles, two triples and five stolen bases.

Swipes two bags
Karros went 0-for-2 with a walk, an RBI and two stolen bases Saturday against the Cardinals.
Analysis
It wasn't a typical performance for Karros, but he was productive nonetheless. He reached base in the first and third innings and stole second base on each occasion, and he later lifted a sacrifice fly to provide an insurance run in the ninth frame. Karros has continued his strong season since the All-Star break, hitting .294 with eight RBI and 10 runs scored across 16 contests.

Exiting starting nine
Karros is not in the lineup for Friday's game in St. Louis.
Analysis
Karros started the final three games of the Rockies' homestand, but he'll take a seat Friday as his team begins a road trip. Willi Castro will handle third base and Edouard Julien will be deployed at second base.
