Colorado has dropped seven straight games and 15 of 16 to fall to 4-24, the worst record in the major leagues.

Rosario won't be starting for the Braves in tonight's series opener against the Colorado Rockies, but expect him to be an option to pinch hit or could be in route to be placed in the lineup later this week. Now for the 31-year-old Thompson, the Braves could possibly trade him or he will be placed on waivers sometime this week.
