Brenton Doyle Brenton Doyle Provides lone run in loss
Thu, Jun 26, 2025, 5:50 PM
Doyle went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Dodgers.
Analysis: Doyle has hit safely in four of his last five games, going 5-for-20 (.250) with three extra-base hits in that span. The homer was his first since May 27 versus the Cubs and his first at home since April 30 against Atlanta. Doyle has finished the day under the Mendoza Line since June 16 against the Nationals, and he's currently sporting a .195/.251/.318 slash line with six homers, 26 RBI, 27 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 68 contests. Doyle's overall struggles have opened the door for Sam Hilliard to get some looks in center field, but Doyle remains the starter at that position. |

Austin Gomber Austin Gomber Strong in no-decision
Thu, Jun 26, 2025, 5:45 PM
Gomber allowed a run on four hits and a walk while striking out one over five innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Thursday.
Analysis: Gomber rebounded from a nine-run meltdown versus Arizona last Friday to turn in his second strong outing in three starts since recovering from a shoulder injury. The southpaw has allowed 10 runs in total over 14.2 innings so far, but his numbers are inflated by the poor start. He's added a 5:3 K:BB and remains in search of his first win. Gomber's never been particularly strong in the strikeout department, and playing for the majors' worst team will make wins tough to come by this year. His next start is projected to be another tough matchup at home versus the Astros. |

Ryan Ritter Ryan Ritter Absent from lineup
Wed, Jun 25, 2025, 5:12 PM
Ritter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
Analysis: Since his promotion from Triple-A Albuquerque on June 6, Ritter has been serving as the Rockies' primary shortstop while Ezequiel Tovar (oblique) has been on the shelf. Through his first 60 big-league plate appearances, Ritter has slashed .222/.271/.333 with two doubles, two triples and six RBI. After a stretch of 10 consecutive starts, Ritter will begin Wednesday's contest on the bench while Orlando Arcia gets the nod at shortstop and bats eighth. |

German Marquez German Marquez Takes loss to Dodgers
Wed, Jun 25, 2025, 9:12 AM
Marquez (3-9) took the loss Tuesday against the Dodgers, allowing six unearned runs on six hits and no walks over four innings. He struck out six.
Analysis: Marquez yielded three extra-base hits in the loss, but a pair of fourth-inning defensive errors saved the 30-year-old from being charged with any earned runs. Still, he allowed a three-run home run to Michael Conforto and had the Dodgers bat around the order as part of the six-run fourth inning. Marquez has allowed one earned run or zero in three straight starts, but he owns a 5.79 ERA and 1.64 WHIP across 77.2 innings this season. He's slated for a start in Milwaukee on Sunday. |

Kyle Freeland Kyle Freeland On track to return Friday
Tue, Jun 24, 2025, 4:25 PM
Freeland (back) threw a successful bullpen session Tuesday, and he remains on track to start Friday versus the Brewers, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.
Analysis: Freeland is all but set to return to action Friday in Milwaukee, toeing the rubber for the first time since being placed on the 15-day injured list with back stiffness June 15, retroactive to June 12. It will be a minimum stay on the IL for the left-hander, and he will likely avoid any usage restrictions in the outing. Freeland had posted three consecutive quality starts before going down with the injury, producing a 2.95 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 13 punchouts over 18.1 innings in those outings. The southpaw previously faced Milwaukee at home April 8, surrendering five runs on eight hits while hitting a batter and striking out five others. |

Sun, Jun 22, 2025, 6:58 PM
Moniak went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Sunday's win over Arizona.
Analysis: Moniak's three-run blast in the fifth inning proved to be the game-deciding swing. It was his 11th long ball of the year and sixth in his last 11 appearances. He's approaching his career high of 14 home runs, which he reached in each of the previous two seasons while with the Angels. Moniak is slashing .245/.295/.500 with 22 extra-base hits and 27 RBI through 207 plate appearances. |

Sun, Jun 22, 2025, 6:52 PM
Halvorsen allowed a hit in a scoreless inning and earned a save over Arizona on Sunday. He struck out one batter.
Analysis: Halvorsen worked around a two-out double by Randal Grichuk to close out the 4-2 victory Sunday. It was Halvorsen's first appearance since blowing a save chance against the Nationals on Thursday. He's now converted six of his nine save opportunities while producing a 4.31 ERA and a 29:14 K:BB through 31.1 innings. |

Sun, Jun 22, 2025, 6:42 PM
Senzatela (3-10) allowed two runs on four hits and a walk over 5.1 innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win over Arizona.
Analysis: Senzatela gave up a run in the second and fourth innings but Colorado's four-run fifth frame gave him his second straight victory. It was the first time he earned wins in consecutive outings since 2021. Despite the recent wins, Senzatela has not completed six innings in a start since May 20 and has registered a 6.75 ERA in six appearances since then. He owns a 6.48 ERA with a 40:28 K:BB through 76.1 frames this season. Senzatela is projected to take the mound in Milwaukee next weekend. |

Analysis: The veteran left-hander landed on the shelf due to back stiffness after his June 11 start against San Francisco, but he's on track to rejoin Colorado's rotation after spending the minimum amount of time on the IL. Freeland will likely throw another bullpen session Tuesday before being fully cleared to return this weekend. |

Sun, Jun 22, 2025, 2:14 PM
The Rockies recalled Chivilli from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Analysis: The 22-year-old has struggled to a 6.14 ERA across 29.1 innings during his time in the big leagues this season, but he'll rejoin the Rockies on Sunday with Carson Palmquist being optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Chivilli should fill a low-leverage relief role while he's up with the Rockies. |
