Antonio Senzatela Antonio Senzatela Will stay in bullpen next season
Wed, Oct 8, 2025, 10:23 AM
The Rockies plan to keep Senzatela in a relief role next season, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Senzatela was moved from the rotation to the bullpen in late August after posting a 7.15 ERA and 61:42 K:BB over 112 innings. He was better in a long-relief role with a 3.50 ERA and 12:5 K:BB across 18 frames. The Rockies aren't chock full of rotation options, but they appear content to leave Senzatela in a low-leverage role in the final season of his five-year, $50.5 million contract. |

Sun, Sep 28, 2025, 4:55 PM
Brown (0-5) took the loss Sunday against San Francisco, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks across three innings. He struck out two.
Analysis: Both runs charged to Brown came via the long ball -- he gave up a solo shot to Willy Adames to lead off the game before Rafael Devers led off the fourth with another homer. It's a tough way to finish the season for Brown, who allowed one run while striking out 10 in his last time out against the Mariners. Overall, Brown posted a 7.36 ERA with a 1.83 WHIP and 23:11 K:BB across 25.2 innings in his first seven major-league starts. |

Kyle Freeland Kyle Freeland Logs quality start in loss
Sat, Sep 27, 2025, 6:51 PM
Freeland (5-17) took the loss against the Giants on Saturday, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out four across six innings.
Analysis: It was a tough loss for Freeland, whose lone (but crucial) blemish came in the third inning, when he yielded a three-run homer to Casey Schmitt. Freeland will end the season with 17 losses, which is the most of his career and would lead the majors at the end of the season unless Mitchell Parker (9-16) were to take a loss out of the bullpen. Freeland will end the 2025 season with a 4.98 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 124:38 K:BB across 162.2 innings. |

Analysis: Freeman's back will force him to the bench for a fourth consecutive game, and given the Rockies' record, they likely aren't in a rush to bring him back for the final few games of the regular season. Hunter Goodman will get another start as Colorado's DH while Braxton Fulford starts behind the plate. |

Wed, Sep 24, 2025, 4:48 PM
The Rockies optioned Romo to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.
Analysis: Romo went 0-for-3 at the plate while serving as the Rockies' third catcher, and the return of Warming Bernabel (concussion) from the IL will now push the former back to the minor leagues. The 24-year-old backstop has slashed .264/.329/.409 across 244 plate appearances at Albuquerque and will most likely remain there for the rest of the year. |

Ryan Rolison Ryan Rolison Optioned to Triple-A
Wed, Sep 24, 2025, 4:47 PM
The Rockies optioned Rolison to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.
Analysis: Rolison made four appearances out of the Rockies' bullpen since being recalled from Triple-A on Sept. 11, but in his last outing against the Dolphins this past Thursday he allowed two runs on two hits while striking out one batter in one inning. He'll return to Albuquerque, where he sports a 3.34 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB across 29.2 innings this season. |

Wed, Sep 24, 2025, 4:45 PM
The Rockies reinstated Peralta (hip) from the injured list Wednesday.
Analysis: Left hip inflammation sent Peralta onto the injured list Sept. 11, but a quick recovery will allow him to provide depth to Colorado's bullpen for the final several games of the 2025 campaign. Ryan Rolison was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move. |

Roansy Contreras Roansy Contreras Lands on IL with hand injury
Wed, Sep 24, 2025, 4:43 PM
The Rockies placed Contreras on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a right hand contusion.
Analysis: Contreras' move to the IL means he'll be shut down for the rest of the season, though he should be ready for spring training. He was claimed off waivers by the Rockies on Sept. 2 after being DFA'd by the Orioles in late August. Across four bullpen appearances for Colorada, Contreras allowed eight runs on 9 hits and one walk while striking out four across 8.1 innings. |

Wed, Sep 24, 2025, 4:40 PM

Analysis: Agnos has been on the shelf since late July with a strained right elbow, but he'll now return in time to help the Rockies' bullpen through the final five games of the season. The 25-year-old hasn't been particularly effective during his first season in the majors, logging a 6.98 ERA and 1.58 WHIP over 29.2 innings. |

Bernabel has slashed .264/.301/.434 with one steal, 15 runs, four home runs and 14 RBI in 136 plate appearances since making his major-league debut July 26. |
