Kyle Farmer News: Idle for series finale

Farmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Farmer had started the last three games, all at different positions (second base, designated hitter and first base), but he went 0-for-8 at the dish during that stretch. First base appears to be Farmer's clearest path to consistent playing time after the Rockies demoted Michael Toglia to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday. Keston Hiura was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move, and he'll get the nod at first base Sunday in his Rockies debut.
