Helton will not start Wednesday's game at Miami, the Rockies' official Twitter page reports.
Recommendation: Helton is just 3-for-20 in his career against Marlins starter Carlos Zambrano, so he will take a seat in favor of Jason Giambi.

1B Todd Helton went 0-for-5 with a season-high three strikeouts. The last one ended the game when Mariners RH closer Brandon League, who had allowed two runs and four hits in the ninth, struck him out with runners on first and third.
"The last at-bat, I thought while I was swinging, I was going to have a good result, but it didn't work out that way," said Helton, who is one for his past 18 and is hitting .219. League struck him out on his 22nd pitch of the inning and the eighth of the at-bat.
"A fastball right down the middle," Helton said. "It was about the only pitch I saw all day I felt like that I was on. For whatever reason, I was waiting to hear a sound and I never did."
