Antonio Senzatela Antonio Senzatela Struggles again in seventh loss
Wed, May 14, 2025, 10:42 PM
Senzatela (1-7) took the loss Wednesday against the Rangers after allowing six runs on eight hits and four walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out three.
Analysis: For the seventh time this season, Senzatela surrendered at least seven hits in a start. The veteran right-hander has yet to give up fewer than six knocks in any of his nine outings this year, and he set a season high with four walks Wednesday. After giving up no earned runs over 9.2 innings to open the season, Senzatela has an 8.21 ERA and 19:11 K:BB over his last seven appearances. He won't be a recommended fantasy streamer versus the Phillies in his next scheduled start, currently projected for early next week. |

Michael Toglia Michael Toglia Heating up in May
Wed, May 14, 2025, 10:08 PM
Toglia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-3 loss to Texas.
Analysis: Toglia has now recorded at least one hit in five of his last six games, and he added his third home run in the month of May. The switch hitter now has six multi-hit efforts in 2025, and he's hitting .281 with three long balls, two doubles and five RBI over his last 32 at-bats (nine games). Toglia's fantasy appeal gets a considerable boost when he plays at home, as evidenced by his .886 OPS across 75 at-bats at hitter-friendly Coors Field this year. |

Mickey Moniak Mickey Moniak Getting afternoon off
Wed, May 14, 2025, 1:27 PM
Moniak is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
Analysis: The Rangers are starting a lefty (Patrick Corbin) in a day game after a night game, so Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer likely viewed Wednesday as an opportune time to give the lefty-hitting Moniak a breather. Moniak had started in right field in each of the Rockies' last 10 games, slashing .265/.278/.382 with zero home runs, one stolen base, three runs and three RBI. |

Alan Trejo Alan Trejo Taking seat Wednesday
Wed, May 14, 2025, 1:24 PM
Trejo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
Analysis: After starting at shortstop in each of the Rockies' previous four games, Trejo will give way to Kyle Farmer in the series finale in Texas. With Ezequiel Tovar (hip) in the midst of a rehab assignment and on track to return from the injured list as soon as this weekend, Trejo is likely to see his playing time take a significant hit in the near future. |

Kyle Farmer Kyle Farmer Batting second Wednesday
Wed, May 14, 2025, 1:21 PM
Farmer will start at shortstop and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
Analysis: Back in the lineup Wednesday for just the second time in five games, Farmer will occupy a prominent spot in the batting order while typical No. 2 hitter Jordan Beck slides down to the three hole. Farmer has produced a meager .601 OPS over 117 plate appearances on the season, so barring a big performance Wednesday, he's unlikely to see regular opportunities in a premium spot in the lineup. |

Adael Amador Adael Amador Sitting out Wednesday
Wed, May 14, 2025, 1:18 PM
Amador is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
Analysis: Amador has been seeing most of the starts at second base for the Rockies of late, but he's yet to completely run away with a full-time job, batting just .158 with a 28.1 percent strikeout rate since being promoted from Triple-A Albuquerque in mid-April. Owen Miller will get the nod at the keystone Wednesday. |

Jordan Beck Jordan Beck Provides only offense in loss
Tue, May 13, 2025, 10:09 PM
Beck went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Texas.
Analysis: It was Beck's fifth stolen base of the year and his first since April 25. The 24-year-old outfielder has at least one hit in 17 of his last 20 games, batting .303 with six home runs, nine RBI and 16 runs scored over 76 at-bats in that span. Beck has settled in as Colorado's primary left fielder in 2025. |

Kyle Freeland Kyle Freeland Still winless despite quality start
Tue, May 13, 2025, 9:50 PM
Freeland (0-6) took the loss Tuesday against the Rangers after allowing three runs on six hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out five.
Analysis: It was the fourth quality start of the year for Freeland, whose six hits allowed were his fewest in a road outing since his first appearance of 2025. Although the left-hander has a poor 6.15 ERA and 1.59 WHIP on the season, he owns a respectable 4.25 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 22:5 K:BB over 29.2 innings on the road. With his next appearance set to come at home next week versus the Phillies, however, Freeland won't be a recommended fantasy option at hitter-friendly Coors Field. |

Chase Dollander Chase Dollander Quality start despite loss
Mon, May 12, 2025, 9:41 PM
Dollander (2-4) took the loss Monday at Texas, yielding two runs on one hit and three walks over six innings. He struck out seven.
Analysis: The Colorado rookie produced his best outing of the season, collecting his first quality start and matching his previous high with seven punchouts. Dollander stymied the Rangers until the sixth inning when Wyatt Langford cracked a two-run homer to give Texas the lead. Through 34 innings, Dollander sports a 6.88 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 32:16 K:BB. He looks to build upon this performance in his next start, currently scheduled to be at Arizona this weekend. |

Aaron Schunk Aaron Schunk Starts up rehab assignment
Mon, May 12, 2025, 11:46 AM
Schunk (groin) made starts at third base and second base during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque over the weekend, going 2-for-7 with a home run and two RBI.
Analysis: Schunk appears to be in a similar spot in his recovery from a left groin strain as Ezequiel Tovar (hip) and Tyler Freeman (oblique), both of whom also started in games with Albuquerque on Saturday and Sunday. Since both Schunk and Freeman are projected to handle utility roles once activated from the injured list, the Rockies could option one of the two players to the minors. Before landing on the IL on April 26, Schunk appeared in seven games for Colorado and hit .250 with one run over 21 plate appearances. |

Ezequiel Tovar Ezequiel Tovar Makes second rehab start
Mon, May 12, 2025, 11:41 AM
Tovar (hip) played nine innings at shortstop and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in his rehab appearance Sunday with Triple-A Albuquerque.
Analysis: Tovar began his rehab assignment at Triple-A on Saturday and ended up making starts at shortstop on consecutive days to close out the weekend. Per MLB.com, Tovar is scheduled to be re-evaluated again Wednesday, at which point the Rockies will likely determine whether he'll be available to return from the 10-day injured list for the team's series in Arizona over the weekend. Tovar was slashing .212/.257/.303 with no home runs and two stolen bases over 70 plate appearances before landing on the IL on April 19 due to a left hip contusion. |

Mickey Moniak Mickey Moniak Enjoys strong homestand
Mon, May 12, 2025, 9:06 AM
Moniak went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a double Sunday against the Padres.
Analysis: Moniak has at least one hit in six of his last seven games and went 7-for-22 with three RBI and two runs scored across Colorado's six-game homestand that concluded Sunday. He remains on the strong side of a platoon in right field and has started eight straight contests. |

German Marquez German Marquez Picks up first win in 2025
Mon, May 12, 2025, 7:47 AM
Marquez (1-6) got the win Sunday over the Padres, allowing one run on three hits and a walk while striking out two in seven innings.
Analysis: The Padres had two of their three hits and strung together their only run against Marquez in the opening frame. Following a two-out single by Gavin Sheets in the first, Marquez went on to retire 17 batters in a row before Sheets knocked another single off him in the seventh. Sunday was Marquez's first time reaching seven innings since Sept. 16 of 2022. He had a 9.90 ERA coming into Sunday's start and has lowered that to 8.27. He'll face Arizona on the road this weekend. |

Ryan McMahon Ryan McMahon Leaves yard again Sunday
Mon, May 12, 2025, 7:38 AM
McMahon went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, two walks and three runs scored in Sunday's win over the Padres.
Analysis: McMahon capped off his strong weekend with a solo home run in the eighth to extend the Rockies lead. He's now homered four times this month and has raised his OPS to .736 after posting a .508 OPS in March/April. In his last seven games, McMahon is hitting .500/.607/1.091 with a 6:5 BB:K. He's notoriously been more effective in Denver and will aim to keep his hot bat going this week despite the Rockies having all their games on the road. |

Hunter Goodman Hunter Goodman Drives in five runs
Mon, May 12, 2025, 7:29 AM
Goodman went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer, a triple, a double, five RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's win over the Rockies.
Analysis: Goodman got his day started with a three-run blast in the opening frame. He followed that up with a two-run triple in the third and a double in the seventh, leaving him only a single shy of hitting for the cycle. Since April 25, Goodman is hitting .349/.373/.556 with two homers, 13 RBI and 11 runs scored. He's maintained an aggressive approach at the plate, as it's been 63 plate appearances since his last walk, but he's been one of the few bright spots for this dismal Rockies team and has produced solid numbers both in Denver (.827 OPS) and on the road (.846 OPS) this year. |

Nick Martini Nick Martini Not starting Sunday
Sun, May 11, 2025, 1:44 PM
Martini is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Analysis: Martini started the first two games of the series and went 2-for-3 with a double in Saturday's contest, but he'll head to the bench for the finale. Hunter Goodman will rest his legs as the designated hitter while Jacob Stallings receives a start behind the plate. |
|
Adael Amador Adael Amador Heading to bench Sunday
Sun, May 11, 2025, 1:43 PM
Amador is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Analysis: Amador had started at second base in four of the previous five games but will give way to Kyle Farmer in the series finale. Despite receiving fairly steady playing time since his April 13 promotion, Amador has been unable to get much going at the dish. Through his first 20 games, the 22-year-old rookie is slashing just .173/.246/.308 with one home run and one stolen base across 58 plate appearances. |

Bradley Blalock Bradley Blalock Demoted after brutal start
Sun, May 11, 2025, 1:39 PM
The Rockies optioned Blalock to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Analysis: Unsurprisingly, Blalock received a demotion after he was lit up for 12 earned runs on 13 hits and two walks over just 3.2 innings during Saturday's 21-0 loss to the Padres. The Rockies still have an opening in the rotation with Ryan Feltner (back) not ready to return from the injured list, and Triple-A righty Tanner Gordon could be the next man up as the fifth starter. |
|
Juan Mejia Juan Mejia Bumped down to Triple-A
Sun, May 11, 2025, 1:36 PM
The Rockies optioned Mejia to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Analysis: Mejia was unlikely to be available for the next couple of days after he gave up seven runs (four earned) in 1.1 innings and tossed 44 pitches in Saturday's 21-0 loss to the Padres, so the Rockies opted to replace him on the 26-man roster. Colorado called up lefty Ryan Rolison to take Mejia's spot in the bullpen. |

Ryan Rolison Ryan Rolison Receives call-up
Sun, May 11, 2025, 1:32 PM
The Rockies selected Rolison's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Analysis: Rolison will be making his MLB debut when he gets into a game. He was previously a member of the Rockies' 40-man roster during the 2022 and 2023 seasons, but his standing in the organization fell after he struggled to bounce back from June 2022 shoulder surgery. Though initially developed him as a starter, Rolison made the full-time transition to relief in 2024 and has found some success. Over 12 appearances in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League this season, Rolison has delivered a 3.72 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 23:7 K:BB over 19.1 innings. |
