Iannetta (lat) returned from the injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Iannetta started seven of 16 games prior to landing on the injured list. He should be in line for a similar split with Tony Wolters now that he's back, with Drew Butera designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Iannetta will catch and bat seventh Friday against Arizona.

Iannetta (lat strain) hasn't experienced any setbacks in his minor-league rehab games, but remains without a timetable for a return, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Iannetta landed on the injured list with the ailment on April 15, and he's reportedly feeling good after playing in three rehab games for Double-A Hartford, coming through the appearances with no issues. He caught Monday and Tuesday before getting deployed as the DH on Wednesday, going 0-for-8 with one RBI, per Harding. The Rockies still don't know when they'll regain Iannetta's services, so Tony Wolters figures to remain the number one option behind the plate for the moment, with Drew Butera filling in on his days off.

Iannetta was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a right lat strain, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Iannetta appeared to be struggling with the injury over the past week, as he entered the starting lineup just once over his team's previous five contests. It remains to be seen whether he'll require more than the minimum while on the shelf. With Iannetta landing on the injured list, Drew Butera was called up and will start behind the dish in Monday's series opener.

Iannetta is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Iannetta will take a seat for the fourth time in five games as Tony Wolters grabs another start behind the plate for the Rockies. Iannetta is slashing .207/.303/.379 through 33 plate appearances, but Wolters has actually fared worse with a .583 OPS. The pair figure to split time until one them is able to get in a rhythm offensively.

Iannetta is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
Iannetta will remain on the bench for the second straight contest with Tony Wolters set to draw another start behind the dish. Iannetta is just 4-for-22 through eight games so far this season, so it appears skipper Bud Black is simply giving his starting catcher a few days off to regroup.

Iannetta is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Braves, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Iannetta started Colorado's last two games, collecting one hit in nine at-bats, so he'll get a breather for Tuesday's tilt with Atlanta. Tony Wolters will draw the start behind the dish in his place.
