Colorado Rockies infielder Ryan McMahon is returning to the starting lineup for Monday's interleague road opener against rookie right-hander A.J. Alexy and the Texas Rangers.
The Rockies gave McMahon the day off Sunday amid a 1-for-17 slump at the plate. McMahon is back on the hot corner and hitting sixth Monday night. Rio Ruiz is out of the lineup after covering third base on Sunday.

Alexy recorded a 1.66 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP with 76 strikeouts and 27 walks across 65 innings at the minor league level this season.
